The Prince’s Palace of Monaco, Monaco

Rating:
 

The Prince’s Palace of Monaco with its State Apartments and Museum of Napoleon Souvenirs offers insight to the history of Monaco and the House of Grimaldi. But the real attraction for families is the daily happening on the Palace Square or Place du Palais. Tikes and tweens alike will delight in the Changing of the Guards ceremony performed each day at 11:55 sharp.
