Princess Grace Japanese Garden
About This Museum
Tucked away just off the bustling Avenue Princesse Grâce, this hidden gem feels a world apart from Monaco's glamour. You step into a serene landscape centered around a tranquil pond, where koi fish glide beneath a graceful wooden bridge. The whole scene is meticulously composed with pruned pines, stone lanterns, and carefully placed mossy banks. It’s an intimate, contemplative space that truly captures the essence of a traditional Japanese stroll garden.
Collection Highlights
The main draws are the beautiful 'Moon Bridge' arching over the water and the authentic Chashitsu tea house, where you can almost hear the whisper of a tea ceremony. Keep an eye out for the stone basins and sculptural pine trees that create miniature landscapes at every turn.
Visitor Information
It's quite compact and perfect for a peaceful half-hour escape. Since it's an outdoor garden, visiting on a pleasant day is best, and it's easy to combine with a trip to the nearby Rose Garden planted by Princess Grace herself.
Architecture & Building
The garden showcases classic Japanese landscaping principles, featuring a central pond with a zig-zag bridge and a simple, elegant tea house built in traditional Sukiya-zukuri style.
