Why go
This distinction makes maps less confusing: Monaco-Ville is the Rock, La Condamine includes the harbour, Monte Carlo lies across it, and Fontvieille grew on reclaimed land. Ward labels can be more detailed than the broad district names visitors use. That distinction is especially useful when reading maps of the waterfront.
What to look for
- Monaco-Ville occupies the Rock and its old town.
- La Condamine includes the area around Port Hercule.
- Fontvieille was developed on land reclaimed from the sea.
Useful to know
- Use the broad district names to plan nearby stops; administrative ward boundaries are more detailed.
- Allow for the climb between the harbour and the Rock when linking La Condamine with Monaco-Ville.
