Monaco occupies a pretty spot on the Mediterranean coast. With the hilly terrain come great views of the sea and principality itself, but there are also gorgeous spots on flatter ground for you to capture on camera as well. Here are our top 11 spots that should not be missed.

Tête de Chien

Behind Monaco, after quite a climb, you’ll reach Tête de Chien. This peak surely is one of the best places to get a panoramic view of the principality. Early morning is the best time, otherwise the Mediterranean climate will get too hot.

Oceanographic Museum

This is arguably one of the most impressive buildings in Monaco and perfect to set your camera in front of. The sight of it is equally impressive from the front entrance (as pictured) and from a little distance, viewing it from its side, perched impressively on cliff rocks.

The Exotic Garden

The Jardin Exotique de Monaco is not only great for photographing some really interesting cacti and succulents, but the view over the principality and neighbouring hills is incredible from here. The vibrant greens of the flora and blues of the sea and sky are particularly striking.

Monaco by night is really special. Whether you are by the harbour or in search of a place with a view, make sure to give yourself enough time when the sun goes down to snap some unforgettable photographs.
