Cacti and other succulents on the cliff side of the Jardin Exotique overlooking the Mediterranean Sea - Monaco

Home to the world’s largest succulent and cactus collection, from small echinocereus to 10m-tall African candelabras, the gardens tumble down the slopes of Moneghetti through a maze of paths, stairs and bridges. Views of the principality are spectacular. At the time of going to print, closed for major works until 2025.
