Highlights
Must-See when in Monte Carlo
Casino de Monte-Carlo
Even if you don’t gamble, this is the heart of Monaco’s glamour. Admire the grand architecture, luxury cars, and elegant gardens around Casino Square.
Prince's Palace of Monaco
Located in the Old Town (Monaco-Ville), this is the official residence of the Prince. The square offers beautiful views, and the Changing of the Guard at 11:55 am is worth timing your visit for.
Monaco Grand Prix Circuit
Walk parts of the famous Formula 1 street circuit - it’s fun recognising corners you’ve seen on TV, especially around the harbour.
Port Hercule
A lovely waterfront walk lined with impressive yachts, cafés, and sea views — ideal for a relaxed afternoon or sunset stroll.
Oceanographic Museum of Monaco
Perched on the cliff edge, this is one of Monaco’s most beautiful buildings, combining aquariums, marine exhibits, and panoramic terraces
Monaco Cathedral
A peaceful stop where Princess Grace and Prince Rainier III are buried.
Wander Monaco-Ville
Stroll through narrow lanes, small squares, and viewpoints — this area feels quieter and more traditional compared to the glamour of Monte Carlo.
