The Best Viewpoints in Monaco
Where to find the most spectacular panoramas over the principality, the harbour and the Mediterranean.
Monaco rises steeply from the sea, which means dramatic views are everywhere — if you know where to look.
Le Rocher
The terraces of the old town, beside the Prince's Palace, look straight down over Port Hercule and across to Monte-Carlo. Free, and unbeatable at golden hour.
Jardin Exotique
High on the western cliffs, the Jardin Exotique offers the widest panorama in the principality, taking in the whole coastline.
Tête de Chien
Above Monaco, the headland of the Tête de Chien (near La Turbie) gives the classic aerial postcard view — worth the climb or a short drive on a tour.
From the water
The most flattering angle of all is from a boat in the bay, with the towers of Monaco stacked up the hillside. A sunset cruise is the easiest way to get it.
