Absolutely beautiful gardens with lots of cacti. Really wonderful to stroll through and take it all and, and you get some wonderful views over Monaco due to the altitude that they are situated at. If you’re in Monaco and have some time to spare then don’t miss visiting here.
One point to note is that there may be issues for anybody who has difficulty walking up/down lots of stairs. So it may be worth looking into the accessibility arrangements before you arrive if this concerns you, as I didn’t readily see what they were.
Beautiful garden well put together. One of the best I have ever in my whole life . Impressively well-kept gardens full of a variety of succulents and flowers, as well as some fish ponds. You can spend hours walking around, reading in quiet corners, enjoying the incredible panoramic views of Monaco and touring the caves (included in the price). Well worth a visit on a clear/sunny day.
Love this garden. Up high in hills of Monaco, where you can than half of Monaco from here for great photos. Lots of exotic plants especially cactus and there is a cave with hourly guided tours. Beautiful place, highly recommended when you visit Monaco. We spend about 2 hours here.

Great gardens, full of exotic plants (or at least if you come from anywhere with dreary weather most of the year).
Best highlight includes the tour of the caves. It was presented in French, but you get the idea.
Views over Monaco near the top are are stunning. Just be wary that there’s a lot of steps.
Great gardens! A must if you're coming from a dreary wintry Europe to experience a tropical paradise. Great paths along the steep Monaco hills, makes you forget where you are. Truly immersive. Don't forget to take a walk down the cave, quite a walk more than 300 steps down.
It's a bit pricey for such a tiny garden. I know the pitch is to sell you on the view, but there's a little bit of a trick. There are spots around town that can get you similar views. Leave the garden and make a left toward the public elevator. Walk past the elevator where the rock opens up to the entire southern neighborhoods of Monaco. You're welcome.
Beautiful collection of cactae in a marvelous promenade à long the rocky wall
It's a great place! Lots of plans, interesting cave, museum. Advice to visit.
A hidden gem. Check out the limestone cave, AMAZING! I’ve been to similar caves but this one is the best. The guided tours are available every hour. Be sure to plan ahead.
Beautiful! There are so many types of cacti, and the view from the gardens to the sea and the neighborhoods below is amazing. The Observation Cave in the gardens is worth the visit.
Beautiful views over Monaco and lovely environment. Mostly catus in the gardens but the cave is a wonder. If you hate stairs though this one isn't for you.
I can't believe it took so many trips to Monaco before I finally got around to going here, I now wish I'd done it sooner.
It has not just one but three things going for it. First, the fauna itself is, as promised, exotic, varied and interesting, and the way the gardens hug on to the cliff, with windy little paths going up and down, is very appealing. This kind of public, "green" space is such a rarity in Monaco, for obvious reasons, and the garden feels extra special for it.
Second, the caves (hourly tours included in the ticket price) are spectacular, very atmospheric, and such an unexpected surprise.
Third, and perhaps best of all, the vantage point this offers for views down over Monaco is unparalleled. The views down to Le Rocher and other parts of the Principality, as well as out to sea, are marvellous, and very interestingly framed by the cactii and so on of the garden.
Well worth a visit, and by Monaco standards the entrance fee is a bargain!
Loved the grotto. Very hot day a welcome relief, but not for the faint hearted.
Gardens are great. Views great.
Could do with a cafe
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.
Beautiful garden of mostly cactus plants. Very well keeped and placed. On top of the plants you have amazing views down the hill of the coastline of Monaco and Monte Carlo.
Great cactus and succulent garden built on a steep hillside. Lots of mature fine specimens. Spectacular views over the ocean. Lots of up and down walking so beware of that.
Really nice garden with a wide vareity of cacti and had a half an hour tour of the really cool cave with stalectite and stalegmite formations
The garden itself is pretty basic, lots of cacti. Very impressive if you have not seen many cacti before, but as an American somewhat less impressive. The grotto is very cool though, definitely worth a look. It's probably the coolest, or at least the most surprising, cave I've seen. Tours allow people down every hour on the hour (free). Also, the views of Monaco from the garden are some of the best, worth a trip here just to see them.
Beautiful view and also you can visit a cave!
Nice garden with lots of cactus on top of a hill. Because it is a steep place you will have to climb. There are interesting caves and a small museum, but were closed when we visited. There are wonderful views of Monaco.
Very nice garden. Too hot the day we visited and the garden format required us to walk the entire garden which was too long.
You must visit the cave, this is a very interesting experience. Don't expect much in terms of service, energy from the staff or a decent cafe, I would love to say there was a fantastic spot to have a fantastic coffee and admire the view. But I can't. There isn't. However the view really is spectacular - much like the views above Dubrovnik.
