Monaco in area aspect is second smallest country in the world after the Vatican and one of the densely lived – approximately 33000 inhabitants on 1, 95 km2. It’s in France Riviera, between France and the Mediterranean Sea, near Italy.
Monaco is constitutional monarchy. Grimaldi dynasties representative still lives in castle and rules this small country. Nowadays every interest can visit this castle, view luxurious halls, with audio guide help can hear not only a story about this castle but even prince welcome saying for every his castle visitor. Castle hall walls are decorated with Grimaldi dynasty portraits. Talking about nowadays monarchs and looking at all the family, I haven’t seen another so beautiful and noble human family like they – light, majestic, burned, with classical face traits. It’s a pity that in the halls it’s forbidden to take photography’s, as like to sit on one chair, which is portrait gallery. There were guards, who followed for that, but they were very nice.

King made a park with different exotic plants, trees and sculptures. It’s open for every city visitor.
Beside the park is Monaco Oceanography museum, who’s one of its makers and leaders was world known ocean and sea depths explorer Jacques Cousteau. Are you or not biology and geography fan, you need to visit this museum; this view is fantastic (entrance ticket 10 EUR).

There are wide sea fauna and flora collection, materials from expeditions. If you know French language, then in other hall you can see movies from these expeditions and hear the stories about them.
