Prince’s Palace of Monaco

Why go

A fortress became the Grimaldi family's residence, giving the palace both defensive and ceremonial character. The square lets you see that long history from outside; the State Apartments reveal restored Italian Renaissance frescoes when visits are available. Keep the square as the reliable stop and verify the apartments separately before making them central to your day.

What to look for

• The palace exterior from Place du Palais.
• Restored Italian Renaissance frescoes in the ticketed State Apartments, when open.

Useful to know

• Use Place du Palais for an exterior view when the State Apartments are closed.
• Check the palace's current visitor calendar; apartment access can change because this remains a residence.
• The historic State Apartments have stairs and are not wheelchair accessible.
