Things to Do
Monaco city breaks have something for everyone. Take it easy with relaxing days by the turquoise waters, then embrace the nightlife by rolling the dice in the world-famous Casino de Monte-Carlo, which also houses the Opéra de Monte-Carlo.
Larvotto Beach offers an inviting base for a day beside the waves. There are comfortable bathing amenities and several beach clubs serving refreshments and offering a change of scenery. Many people charter a yacht during Monaco weekend breaks or holidays. Port Hercule is a historic port that can house yachts of up to 100 metres. It also offers high-quality, attentive service, so any yacht here will be in good hands. Whether you head out to sea or stay put on the coast, the glittering waters of the Côte d'Azur will make everything feel a hundred times more idyllic.
Cultural hotspots in Monaco include its Cathedral, where Prince Rainier III married actress Grace Kelly in the 1950s; an event that reinforced the principality's glamorous image. Beside it is the Prince's Palace of Monaco with its opulent-coloured marble floors. Meanwhile, green spaces like Le Jardin Exotique de Monaco and its botanic centre offer a sense of tranquillity and help to break up any sightseeing.
Characterised by colourful houses and a striking fortress, the Old Town (the Rock) is a must-see for Monaco holidays. Not far from here, the Oceanographic Museum houses sharks, turtles and more, making it the perfect activity for families.
Day trips to the surrounding towns and villages along the French Riviera form a valuable part of any holiday to Monaco. The mountainside village of Èze will unveil what life was like in the Middle Ages, while the pastel-coloured city of Nice offers even more activities for a vibrant day trip.
Monaco holidays have you spoilt for choice with activities.
