Monaco Nightlife Guide

Monaco's evenings are as polished as its days. Here's how the night unfolds.

Aperitif hour

Begin where everyone does — the Place du Casino. A drink on the terrace of the Café de Paris or the bar of the Hôtel de Paris is the classic opener, watching the supercars circle the square.

Dinner and the Casino

Linger over dinner, then step into the Casino de Monte-Carlo — smart dress, passport, 18+ — for the most atmospheric room in town, whether or not you play.

Summer by the sea

In summer the action moves seaward to the beach clubs around Larvotto and Monte-Carlo Beach, where lunch slides into sundowners and DJ sets. The principality's nightclubs draw an international crowd well into the small hours.

Tips

Dress up — Monaco rewards effort. Book tables ahead in season, and keep a jacket handy for the Casino and the better rooms. Stay nearby so you can walk home — see where to stay.
