Parks and Gardens

The Princess Grace Rose Garden and the Exotic Garden may be among the best known, but the Principality has many parks and gardens to discover. They are managed according to eco-friendly principles and are all distinctive in their own way, with very different atmospheres! No less than a fifth of Monaco is covered by green spaces, so visit as many as you can and make memories you'll remember always!
