Monaco's Exotic Garden prepares to reopen after major six-year transformation
The beloved clifftop botanical attraction is set to welcome visitors again following extensive renovations since its 2020 closure.
One of Monaco's most cherished attractions is preparing to welcome visitors once more after an ambitious six-year renovation programme. The Exotic Garden, perched dramatically on the clifftop between sky and sea, has been closed since 2020 while undergoing comprehensive restoration work.
This remarkable botanical site, which first opened nearly a century ago, has long held a special place in Monaco's cultural landscape. During its heyday in the 1980s, the garden attracted up to 600,000 visitors annually, cementing its status as one of the Principality's most popular destinations.
The garden has consistently drawn a diverse mix of visitors, from casual tourists captivated by the stunning Mediterranean views to serious botanical enthusiasts fascinated by its unique collection of desert plants. Its clifftop location offers some of the most spectacular panoramas in Monaco, making it a favourite spot for both photography and quiet contemplation.
With its reopening on the horizon, the renovated Exotic Garden promises to reclaim its position as a must-visit destination, combining Monaco's natural beauty with horticultural excellence in a setting that remains unmatched anywhere in the Principality.
