Roseraie Princesse Grace

Located at Av. des Papalins, 98000 Monaco 🇲🇨. The Princess Grace Rose Garden, combined with the Fontvieille Park are two municipal parks in the Fontvieille district of Monaco. The parks are a combined four 4️⃣ hectares and are open 24 hours a day and admission is FREE 🆓. I suggest going just before sunset as you will get the benefit like we did of seeing the park in daylight and after dark. It’s worth it. The rose garden was created in 1984 as a memorial to Grace Kelly, wife of Prince Rainer III. Princess Grace is commemorated in the garden in a statue in the garden which features over 4000 roses 🌹. Although it is located within Fontvieille Park, the Princess Grace Rose Garden is a completely separate garden. It was created on the wishes of Prince Rainer III. When it was officially opened on 18 June 1984, the rose collection covered an area of 3,000 m2; it was expanded in 2000 and again in 2014 to mark its thirtieth anniversary. The rose garden is accessible to people in wheelchairs, the slopes are gentle and there are accessible toilet facilities. I definitely suggest visiting these fantastic gardens. There’s plenty of seats around to sit and appreciate the beauty around you. We certainly did. Highly recommend. Thumbs up!!! 👍👍👍

Beautiful garden, lovely day out to a park. Well maintained with a water fountain. When I went they were doing free rose painting activity as well. There is also a nearby pond with fish, turtles and ducks, with a bridge and waterfall feature. Stunning and would recommend having a visit. Nice and quiet and peaceful.

For some reason I didn't read the reviews and was surprised how simple this place was and how it didn't live up to my expectations. The bushes are low. To smell the flower you have to point your seat directly at the sun. Or kneel down. I don't understand why it's so modest. Why is this place so poorly looked after. It seems to me that it's not worthy of being named after the prince's mother. Her memory deserves more! I think that in memory of the mother it would be possible to make it more beautiful! Put up a statue of her made of something white. This garden should take away her memory. And not just name everything after her. And at the site of the incident, it was necessary to install a monument of an angel, in honor of the memory of the mother. Some kind of memorial area. So that people could come and lay flowers. It's not cost-effective, and therefore pointless? There are things in life that are more important and valuable than money.

Looks like a visit at the right time could be amazing. Our visit was nice but the roses had finished. Still a nice calm place

I love the garden. I like how it has a bit of wildflowers growing as well. As a Florida native, that’s all new to me. The arches are beautiful, the fountains, and the sculptures are amazing. The sculpture of the horses is my fave! I would like to have known the Josephine Baker Garden is close by. I missed it.

Very graceful and beautiful garden to remember the Princess Kelly! Very well maintained with lots nice sculptures and different plants! Also an free public restroom to use! Also many benches for you to sit to enjoy the ocean views! This garden will lean to the cathedral and government palace!

Very nice place to spend time with family and friends and enjoy an excellent and sometimes exclusive selection of roses from all over the world. Magnificent flowers and smelling. Better period to visit- from May till August. There are underground parking nearby. Access to the park - for free. There is a public WC available.

May is a fantastic time to visit the rose garden, in full bloom. There are so many wonderful flowers, and of varieties and sizes we've never seen before (even though we've visited many rose gardens all over the world). There are also fountains, art, a stream with a bridge and small waterfalls, and more to see. Wander around the paths to see it all. Enjoy!
