Best Things to Do in Monte-Carlo
The Casino, the gardens, the museums and the views — how to spend your time in Monaco's most glamorous quarter.
Monte-Carlo packs an astonishing amount into a small space. Here's how to make the most of it.
The icons
Start at the Casino de Monte-Carlo and the Place du Casino — the Belle Époque heart of the quarter. Even without playing, the square and the Opéra de Monte-Carlo (Salle Garnier) are worth seeing.
Culture and nature
The Oceanographic Museum on the Rock and the Jardin Exotique reward a half-day each. Petrolheads should not miss the Monaco Top Cars Collection, the Prince's personal car museum.
The good life
Walk Port Hercule to admire the yachts, browse the Carré d'Or boutiques, and time a coffee on the Café de Paris terrace. In summer, Larvotto Beach is the place to swim.
