Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a relatively new cathedral (1875) and so lacks the historial and artistic grandeur and presence of other grand cathedrals in Europe. The interior walls look like concrete gray blocks. It is not at all what I'd expected. However, that said, if you accept it for what it is, you can appreciate the sense of recent history of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier. Once you circle around the nave, their graves are embedded in the marble floor at about the 11:00 point. Hers is covered wtih bouquets. His has one bud vase with one white rose and a spotlight.
Note that you must cover your shoulders and knees to enter; the entrance guard has drapes of satin cloth you can wear to wrap around yourself to cover appropriately if necessary.

A small cathedral, which even atheists come to: look at the tombstone of Princess Grace and be silent in honor of the incredible love story of the Prince and Cinderella, who was destined to become a princess. (inside the crypts of all members of the princely family). As we know, Prince Rainier saw her for the first time on the movie screen. However, Grace Kelly's Cinderella can only be called conditionally.

Built in Roma-Byzantine style, from a white stone which is said to get brother when it rain. Was erected in 1875 where ones was St. Nichols Church. This cathedral is the resting place for several members of the Grimaldi family, included Princess Grace and Rainier III.

Whilst in Monaco last Sunday, we visited the Cathedrale Notre-Dame-Immaculee in Monaco. Very beautiful from the outside, although a little dark inside. Very unusual organ above the entrance. Beautiful Stained Glass Windows. Well worth visiting to see the tomb of Grace Kelly. Recommended

A pleasant church, nicely furnished but nothing special, though the grace of Princess Grace is noteworthy. Also note that despite what is said elsewhere in these reviews, Grace Kelly was her name until she married. Her real name. Of course her maiden name doesn’t appear on her grave marker, nor the surname she acquired at marriage. The Latin version of her Christian names, Grace Patricia, are engraved on the marker.

The exterior suggested a very different interior to the reality, we were surprised how austere and and dark it was. The tomb of Grace Kelly was evident with the beautiful flowers on. Like everywhere in Monaco the cathedral was pristine and well cared for .

This Cathedral is situated in the middle of a short walk from the palace to the Aquarium. Well worth a visit even if you just go to pay your respects to the late Princess Grace and Prince Rainier.

Princess Grace (Grace Kelly) is buried in the Monaco Cathedral. For such a famous person her grave is so understated and plain. She is tucked away on the left and resides near her husband and son. Vistors sometimes leave small posies of flowers. Still a visit to the grave is part of the Monaco exp erience, as is watching the hilarious changing of the guard at the palace. Grace is also remembered with a superb garden and fountain tucked away just below the main access road. See this too and take a break. Views of boat harbour from here are fantastic. Enjoy.

Even in busy July (2005), The Cathedral of St. Nicholas was not too crowded to enjoy. It requires a nice walk uphill, so maybe that is why it was not more busy. We enjoyed seeing Princess Grace's grave and the lovely mosaics. I have posted large photos of the church's mosaics for mosaic enthusiasts on my mosaicphotos blog at http://mosaicphotos.blogspot.com/2005/08/cathedral-of-st-nicholas.html

A beautiful church inside and out, nice if you follow the story of Princess Grace of Monaco. Stylist and subtle in decoration. Free entry (but but quiet).

Do you actually need tickets to enter the Cathedral and visit the burial sites, etc? Thank you.
Written 1 April 2018
No tickets required. Walk Up and take in the beauty and walk it. You do a full circle around the inside and all of the burial sites are in the ground where you walk. Make sure to look up, it's really a lovely church. There were not to many people when we were there, maybe about 10-15 inside. I think it will depend upon the day. This entire area was great to walk around.
