Family trip to Monte Carlo with children. Ideas on where to go with your child
Monte Carlo is not considered one of the best destinations for traveling with children. That is completely understandable as the city has become internationally famous for its casinos and nighttime entertainment for adults. However, there are still interesting culture and entertainment venues in Monte Carlo, a visit to which can excite the whole family, and the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco is one of these places.
