Monaco Neighbourhoods
Explore Monaco district by district, from the historic streets of Monaco-Ville and the landmarks of Monte-Carlo to the harbour atmosphere of La Condamine and the waterfront neighbourhoods of Larvotto, Fontvieille and Mareterra.
Understand Monaco by Area
Six neighbourhoods, six different ways to experience Monaco
Monaco is compact, but its districts have very different identities. The atmosphere around the Palace in Monaco-Ville is not the same as Casino Square, Port Hercule or the beaches and new waterfront spaces in the east.
Use the neighbourhood guides to choose where to spend your time first. Then connect districts with ViewMonaco’s transport and itinerary guides rather than treating the Principality as one continuous flat walk.

Choose by Experience
Choose the district that matches your day
You do not need to visit every neighbourhood in one outing. Start with the atmosphere you want, then add a second district if time and elevation make the connection practical.
Heritage & Landmarks
Choose Monaco-Ville for historic streets and the Palace, or Monte-Carlo for Casino Square, architecture and cultural landmarks.
Harbour & Local Atmosphere
Choose La Condamine for the market, Rue Caroline and Port Hercule, with easy access to everyday shops, cafés and the harbour.
Waterfront & Open Air
Choose Larvotto and Mareterra for the eastern seafront, or Fontvieille for gardens, sport, museums and a quieter western marina.
Plan Connections
Connect neighbourhoods without underestimating Monaco’s levels
Distances can look short on a map while involving significant changes of elevation. Use transport, public lifts and itinerary guides to connect districts efficiently.
Planning tip: choose one primary neighbourhood, then add a second area that fits naturally with your route. Use public lifts and transport when the most direct-looking pedestrian connection involves a major change of level.
Choose your neighbourhood, then build the rest of your Monaco visit
Use Monaco Guide for attractions, museums and experiences, and Getting Around Monaco when you are ready to connect districts in a practical route.
