The TOWN
It's a tiny dot of barely 2 square kilometres and yet Monaco has such density that visitors can quickly lose their bearings.
The principality is more or less divided into five neighbourhoods, of which the best known are Le Rocher and Monte-Carlo. The first is the historical headquarters of the principality, its picturesque side and also where the most beautiful views are found. Monte-Carlo, in the heart of the town, is its “golden square”, home to luxury brands, jewellers, hotel palaces and the Casino.
La Condamine, which extends to the Place d’Armes, is essential to the daily life of the Monaco residents, who gather here for the daily market. This is also where the drivers line up to start the Grand Prix.
To the east is Le Larvotto, the area of beaches and clubs, and to the west, Fontvieille, almost entirely built on the water. This is the high-tech neighbourhood, sometimes missed by tourists although full of surprises... that we will let you discover for yourself!
