"So exotic Designed in 1933, the Exotic Garden on Monaco paints a rich palette of succulents and cacti from across the globe, with a variety of flowering seasons to ensure bursting blossoms throughout the year. There are panoramic views that give unique perspectives on the “Rocher” and go as far as Italy. A visit includes an Anthropology museum and an Observatory cave full of dramatic stalactites and stalagmites that can be visited every hour, on the hour. Photo : Sylvia Sabes"
Exploring the Exotic Garden was a wonderful experience—the variety of plants was truly impressive, with some reaching massive, awe-inspiring sizes. The highlight, however, was visiting the grotto completely alone, with no other tourists around, and having a free guide to myself. It was by far the best experience I had in Monaco.

The gardens are superb. The price (7.50€ per adult) includes the gardens, the cave (really nice) and a small prehistoric museum. The view is fantastic and cacti are beautiful. There are small paths, romantic spots with benches and cute stop overs. The cave is very interesting, a little adventure, it's very warm and humid inside, I recommend to visit it (guided tours are every full hour, last one starts at 17). The museum gives a bit more history behind the cave and olden times in Monaco.

It was really beautiful and also gorgeous views over Monaco. Just know there are a lot of stairs down so you need to get up again aswell. Included in the ticket are also the caves and a small museum. Definitely worth a visit!

It is very interesting for visiting place with a lot of different types of plants. Some of them are exotic and you can’t see them in many places. There is a historical museum in the garden. I liked it a lot because in my opinion it was more children oriented and information that you can receive there is presented in a very attractive and easy way. The view from the garden is also breathtaking because the garden is located on a cliffside and you can see the whole Monaco from it. The only thing that I regret for is that we weren’t able to visit the cave because it was closed that time of the year.

The gift shop was open but the garden was closed. They did not have bathrooms in the gift shop.
It will reopen in September 2025, hopefully.
I looked through the fence and it looks wonderful.

Beautiful garden and costal view. 5euros to get in but is wort it every penny. Plants from all over the world, a small koi pound and a cave. Very quiet during extra season but gets crowds during season. Next door is the Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology.

By far one of my favorite gardens in a city that’s I’ve been to. Incredible views and an underground cave. Loads of cacti and succulents. I felt like I was on another planet. We bought a combo ticket which included entrance to the ocean museum.

Worth the day trip! Eze is a beautiful, quaint little village about 20 minutes outside of Nice. It's an easy, quick bus ride that transports you to a whole other world. Such gorgeous views of the Cote d'Azur - could've stayed up there all day.
