Hi there!
Today I
want you to don’t look outside the window because it’s quite cold and gloomy in
Poznań, and let your imagination move you to Monaco! Yes, that’s
right Monaco is our destination today!
Even if
this country is more than two thousand kilometers from Poland we have
something in common, for example ours flags are very similar, there’s only one
difference – the order of colors. The other is that the principal religion is
Catholicism, just like in Poland.
So we can
ask: Why is this country so special?
Well, it’s
a place in which we can break away from everyday life and where the time could
stop. Exactly one year ago I have been there with my boyfriend just for one day
because I didn’t have more days off, and when I bought a ticket I had said to
myself that one day is enough to visit the most important things because it’s a
small country, but I was wrong… It’s not for reason that people are saying of
it “a European Las Vegas”. It’s the most amazing place I have ever been!
First of
all Monaco is situated at the Riviera coast, so the people are living in a
beautiful panorama of see, luxurious ports, huge buildings and rocks. The last
one is the most impressing, because in Monaco there are many places which are
situated in rocks, for example the railway station. It is at the bottom of the
rock which is having 10 floors up! When we saw that we were so amazed that we were there almost one hour, admiring this architecture (apart from the time
which we had spent on searching of the exit)
The most
remarkable is that when you are walking through the city, you notice that
everything is very enjoyable and well-maintained, people are well-dressed. Even
if you are walking by a park during lunch break you see that everyone is
smartly dressed. You just can feel a class all around you and what is obvious
you fell that the money rules the country.
Monaco has
also a long history, which concern the royal family. When you are there you can
admire the royal palace and all the royal buildings which are located on a
rock.
I think
that maybe you’ve heard something about Oceanographic Museum of Monaco? If not
you should know that it’s a “Monumental jewel” envisioned by the Prince who
pictured a veritable "Palace". The Oceanographic Museum is one of the
masterpieces of the country's identity.
You can see there a lot of historical and scientific exhibitions. What’s
more there are a big underwater aquarium where you can see a lot of different
species of animals, starting with sharks. Maybe you wouldn’t believe in it, but
you can even touch a shark! Yes, it’s really possible!
