City in Monaco

Monaco

3 things to see

Monaco’s old town (Le Rocher) is free to explore on foot, with the palace square, cathedral, and sweeping Mediterranean views over the harbour all costing nothing. The changing of the guard outside the Prince’s Palace happens daily and draws no charge to watch. Treat it as a day trip from Nice or Cannes to skip the Monte Carlo room rates, and the walk up to the rock rewards you with the best free views in the principality.

What each one costs, where the cost is known.

Monaco Old Town

The narrow lanes of Monaco-Ville on the Rock are free to wander and feel like a different world from the glitzy streets below. Pastel-colored buildings, the cathedral where Grace Kelly is buried, and small local restaurants make this the budget traveler's Monaco.

Oceanographic Museum of Monaco

Founded by Prince Albert I and perched on a cliff edge, this museum combines marine science, aquariums, and rooftop terrace views. It is paid but remains one of Monaco's most worthwhile cultural stops for the building and setting alone.

Palace Square Monaco

The square in front of the Prince's Palace offers free views over the harbor and the Monte Carlo skyline, plus the daily changing of the guard at 11:55. The old town surrounding it, Le Rocher, is the most walkable and least expensive part of Monaco.
