Places

Café de Paris Monte-Carlo

The iconic brasserie on Casino Square for 150 years. Famous for inventing the Crêpe Suzette, it serves classic brasserie fare with a terrace overlooking the casino.

Musée Océanographique

Opened in 1910 on a cliff above the sea: shark lagoon, tropical aquarium and the Mediterranean 2050 exhibition. Directed by Jacques Cousteau from 1957 to 1988.

Palais Princier de Monaco

The Grimaldi princes’ palace on the Rock, a fortress the family seized in 1297. State Apartments open late March to mid-October; guard changes daily at 11:55.

Plage du Larvotto

Monaco's principal public beach — 300m of palm-fringed pebble with free public areas and private beach clubs. The Larvotto Marine Reserve makes snorkelling excellent.

Jardin Japonais

A 7,000 m² Japanese garden by Yasuo Beppu (1994), between the Grimaldi Forum and the sea: koi pond, waterfalls, tea house, Zen garden. Free, open daily.

Roseraie Princesse Grace

Memorial to Princess Grace Kelly with 4,000 rose bushes across 450 varieties. A bronze statue by Kees Verkade at the centre. Most spectacular in late spring. Free.

Amici Miei

An intimate Italian refuge where old-world tradition softens into the Monégasque light. Warm, unhurried service; the perfume of slow-simmered ragù—this is where dining becomes something genuine.

Castelroc

Facing the Prince's Palace across the Place du Palais, Castelroc has the best terrace seat for the changing of the guard. The kitchen keeps Monégasque tradition alive — barbagiuans, stocafi — alongside polished Mediterranean cooking.

Giacomo's

Giacomo's channels the Côte d'Azur's easy elegance through simple, assured cooking—fresh pasta and local catch treated with the restraint of someone who trusts ingredients. The room hums with quiet confidence, the kind that doesn't need theater, just honest food and steady service.

L’Orange Verte

Understated Monégasque cooking where bitter orange and spring herbs frame each plate with precision. The room itself—intimate, unhurried—extends the kitchen's philosophy: pace matters more than volume. No performance, just presence.

Le Grill

Book online on the official website of Michelin-starred restaurant Le Grill for a culinary experience at the top, with breathtaking panoramic views over Monaco.

Mada One

Book online on Mada One's official website for fine cuisine to take away or enjoy on site: natural, flavorful, and high-quality.

Marlow

British elegance meets Mediterranean ease at Marlow: English breakfast in the morning, a sparkling brunch at the weekend, and a proper afternoon tea later in the day — served indoors or on the sea-view terrace.

Maya Mia

Precise Mediterranean cooking in an understated room—seafood and seasonal vegetables that trust their own flavours, paired with wines that know their moment. The kind of neighbourhood restaurant that pulls you back because it doesn't try too hard.

Miami

Miami trades Monaco's formality for Caribbean warmth—rum cocktails, grilled seafood, and aperitifs that dissolve into dinners where conversation outlasts the evening and salt lingers in the air.

Naos Beach

Naos Beach brings Côte d'Azur ease to Monaco's shore, where the Mediterranean sprawls beyond whitewashed tables and olive branches sway overhead. The kind of place where lunch dissolves into afternoon, salt-air and wine the only calendar that matters.

Pavyllon

Yannick Alléno's Michelin-starred counter-dining restaurant at the Hôtel Hermitage. Chefs work eye-to-eye with guests along the long counter, sending out precise, seasonal Mediterranean plates — fine dining with the formality dialled down and the terrace facing the sea.

Société Nautique

Harbor and heritage converge in quiet refinement at this waterfront institution. Dining with the unhurried grace of old Monaco—where the sea commands equal attention to what's on your plate, and the light shifts across the water as course follows course.

U’ Cavagnetu

Since 1967 this old-town address — its name is Monégasque for “picnic basket” — has served the Principality's own cooking: barbagiuans, pissaladière and sunny Mediterranean staples at gentle prices, a short stroll from the Prince's Palace.

Uvita

Unfussy, ingredient-driven cooking in an intimate neighborhood setting. Technique outweighs décor; attentive service and carefully chosen wines complete meals that linger unhurried—the Monaco luxury philosophy distilled.

Aire de jeux du Quai Albert Ier

A portside playground on the Quai Albert Ier, steps from the Stade Nautique — climbing frames, sand and plane-tree shade while the harbour goes about its business. Free, fenced and central: the natural pause on any La Condamine errand loop.

Aire de jeux des Moulins

Moulins' shaded playground holds the essential choreography of Monaco childhood: climbing frames and swings that draw the quarter's mornings into familiar ritual. Beneath canopy and worn equipment, school breaks and weekend afternoons unfold in the patient language of scaling, swinging, and sandbox scheming.

Aire de jeux de la Place du Palais

Tucked just off the Place du Palais on Le Rocher, a small playground where children burn energy between palace-square visits — climbing frames and sand within sight of the ramparts.

Aire de jeux du Jardin des Oliviers (Cap-d’Ail)

Just over the western border in Cap-d'Ail, a playground set in the terraced Jardin des Oliviers — dappled shade under old olive trees and room to run, a short detour from Fontvieille.

La Collection de voitures anciennes de SAS le Prince de Monaco

Prince Rainier III’s private collection of some 100 cars, gathered and restored over more than forty years and enhanced by Prince Albert II.

Centre de la Jeunesse Princesse Stéphanie

A creative sanctuary for young Monégasques—where art, music, and movement flow through light-filled studios. The center anchors the neighborhood's cultural life, nurturing talent and community in equal measure.

Aire de jeux de la Costa

A neighbourhood playground off the Avenue de la Costa, serving the residential streets above the port — a local pause rather than a destination.

Frimousse Kids Beausoleil

Nestled above Monaco in Beausoleil's peaceful corners, Frimousse Kids is a canvas of color and play where children discover movement and texture without formality. Light, space, and childhood pace matter here more than anything else.

Jardin des Enfants

A public playground on Avenue de l'Annonciade, in the La Rousse quarter at the eastern end of Monaco, up the hill from the Larvotto beach.

Aire de jeux du Larvotto

Larvotto's contemporary playground amid the manicured terraces of the renovated promenade — modern climbing structures with the beach a staircase away. Swim, play, ice cream, repeat.

Médiathèque Caroline

Monaco's médiathèque, opened in December 2025 at Îlot Pasteur as one light-filled home for the library, the sound-and-video collections and the ludothèque. The youth floor — picture books, reading cabins, board games — and some three hundred activities a year make it the resident family's rainy-day anchor.

Parc Princesse Antoinette

Large shaded park with adventure playground, mini-golf, picnic areas, and olive grove. Best outdoor family space in Monaco.

Aire de jeux du Musée Océanographique

On the terrace beside the Musée Océanographique, high on Le Rocher, this playground comes with one of the Riviera's better backdrops — sea on one side, aquarium on the other. The natural decompression stop after the museum.

Place Anne-Marie Campora

Leafy village-square in the Quartiers, where plane-tree shade and morning light make loitering irresistible. Monégasque families arrive with aimless purpose; children navigate playgrounds while adults reclaim the murmur of community. The Mediterranean whispers from a distance.

Place Joséphine Baker

A sun-dappled plaza where paths wind past benches and sculptures—the kind of square where families settle and time softens. Kids roam the open lawns while parents claim the shade under spreading trees. Named for a cabaret legend, it carries the unhurried ease of a Mediterranean gathering spot where locals and visitors drift through at their own pace.

Aire de jeux de la Place d'Armes

A patch of swings and climbing frames beside the Place d'Armes market — the classic post-market pause, minutes from both the port and the walk up to Le Rocher.

Aire de jeux de la rue Princesse Caroline

On the pedestrian rue Princesse Caroline in La Condamine, a compact play area amid the market-street bustle — a practical stop, with café terraces close by for the accompanying adults.

Monaco Open Air Cinema

Europe's largest open-air cinema with a 220m² screen on the Rock of Monaco. Summer screenings (June-September) under the stars.

Village Charlot

Beausoleil’s family médiathèque, minutes above Monaco — books, games and a seasonal programme of activities open to everyone, with no library membership needed. The same address hosts a free parent-and-child drop-in for under-sixes (Wednesdays 14:00–16:00 and Saturdays 10:00–12:00, closed in school holidays), run by the town’s social centre, which also holds parent-and-child baking and gardening workshops. Check the current programme before making the trip.

Stade Nautique Rainier III

Young swimmers find their rhythm on Olympic-caliber lanes, where the Stade Nautique Rainier III anchors Monaco's aquatic life. Chlorine tang, echoing splashes, the percussion of determined kicking—this is where competition meets play, and ambition starts with the flutter kick.

Little Wonders Monaco

An indoor family space at Grand Ida on Boulevard Rainier III built around young children — soft play, activities and a breather for parents. One of the few purpose-built wet-weather options inside the Principality.

Old Wild West

Western-themed steakhouse on Route de la Piscine — ribs, burgers and western plates portside, popular with families.

WAM

Fast-gourmet counter at Park Palace on Avenue de la Costa — signature Stacks on house bread, salads and a quick lunch above the Casino gardens.

Espace de Loisirs Jeunesse (Beausoleil)

The town of Beausoleil’s youth space for ages 11 to 17, a short walk above Monaco. Open drop-in on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 12:00 to 18:00 and Fridays from 16:00 to 21:00, with full-day programmes in the school holidays (not August): outings, sport, cultural and environmental activities, themed weekends and short trips. Call ahead to ask about joining.

Centre Culturel Prince Héréditaire Jacques de Monaco (Beausoleil)

Beausoleil’s cultural centre, a few minutes above Monaco, built to bring the town’s music and dance schools under one roof: a 120 m² dance studio, seven music rooms, an exhibition space and a performance hall, with places to sit and wait designed for families. Enrolment runs by the season — the current brochure is on the town’s website.

Jardin du Ténao (Beausoleil)

A fenced playground on Avenue de Saint-Roman, on the Beausoleil side just above Monaco’s eastern edge. Opened in 2012 and rebuilt in 2023: a slide tower, a roundabout and play panels on an all-weather surface, with a caged ball court alongside.

Square Castor et Pollux (Beausoleil)

A small fenced children’s square in the Moneghetti quarter of Beausoleil, by the bus stop that shares its name: a play train with a slide on soft ground, refitted by the town in 2011, with benches under the trees. Open 9:00 to 18:30 from May to September and 9:00 to 17:30 from October to April.
