of history and rich lore behind it. The world famous Oceanographic museum is one of the biggest tourist
hotspots of Monaco as it is housed in a palatial estate overlooking the seas and it houses more than
6000 underwater specimens (Bittman and Pixley, 2020). There are also many cathedrals to visit such as
the Roman-Byzantine Cathedrale De Monaco which is very rich in local history.
Food and cuisine – Monaco is full of resorts and luxurious hotels on it's small strip of land making it one
of the most exotic areas of the world and this holds true when it comes to quality and diversity of food.
The country is filled with various eating establishments ranging from Michelin star restaurants to street
side bistros serving a wide range of local and European cuisine and mass sized open markets selling most
things under the sun.
Environmental and natural beauty – Monaco has been gifted when it comes to climate and natural
sights as the weather is rarely freezing cold and there is a gentle summer and occasional rain all year
long (Fitzgerald, 2017). 20% of the country is covered in grass and is planning towards gaining carbon
neutrality by 2050 and it has very spacious and world famous gardens hosting a wide variety of rare and
exotic flowers and vegetations making visiting Monaco a nature lover's dream.
