What to do and see in Monte-Carlo, Monaco: The Best Free Things to do

February 6, 2022 Matilde Konrad

Monte-Carlo is home to the celebrated Monte Carlo Casino. This glamorous palace is full of frescoes, sculptures, and features an astonishing gold and marble atrium—not to mention the main attraction—gambling! Steeped in 700 years of Grimaldi royal history, Monte-Carlo’s location is stunning, tucked between French medieval villages and the Alps. Take in a world-class opera or ballet, bask in the sun on Larvotto Beach or get an adrenaline rush at May's Formula 1 Grand Prix.

My favourite view on the French Riviera. There is a little hike involved so make sure you have appropriate shoes but it’s not too hard. There is also gardens and the walk leading to the Palace is so beautiful!

Possibly one of the best spots ever for people a and more importantly super car watching. The breathtaking casino, cafe de Paris, numerous other pavement cafes and restaurants and a very very well stocked and reasonably priced souvenir shop Whats not to love in one of Europe’s most iconic locations

Japanese Gardens

Small Japanese garden with koi pond and a tea house. Takes 20-30 minutes to visit and even in the area they built heavily is quiet and clean.

Have been there before mid week. Amazing interior as well as exterior. Missed out once on a Sunday as it was locals only in the Church. The last visit there was a wedding in progress. Best time to visit is mid week AM.

The area around the statue itself is really nice and has nice views. The status reminds you of the greats of this sport and why Monaco is associated with the races.

Amazing garden that is good to walk through or have some lunch in! It is right behind the tourism office and in front of the casino! It is a great spot to cool off too from the Monaco sun!
