Chapter 1Outdoor visit · Estimated

Start with Prince's Palace of Monaco. Let a detail decide which thread you follow next.

Pause here. What detail would you keep from this place?

2 min Walk15 min Visit24 min · Total

Outdoor walks and façade observations. Interior admission is not included.

The full story

The Grimaldi residence crowns Monaco-Ville, with seasonal state-room visits and a public façade above the harbour. Choose it for dynastic history and architecture.

The palace is the clearest place to connect Monaco's ruling family with the Rock that shaped the principality. When state rooms are open, painted interiors add an indoor visit; outside that season, the façade and cannon-lined approaches still make a worthwhile short stop.

  • Grimaldi residence above the Rock
  • Painted State Apartment interiors
  • Cannon-lined approach to the palace

Check the palace calendar for current State Apartment access and closures.

Combine the palace with the cathedral and Saint-Martin Gardens.
