When to go to Monaco?
Cliffs behind, Mediterranean in front, and a principality stacked in the gap between them. The Prince's Palace holds the rock above the harbour, the Oceanographic Museum's tanks sit inside a façade built straight out of the cliff face, and the Casino de Monte-Carlo keeps its belle-époque salons in working order. The Exotic Garden clings to a slope with the whole coast below.
