Gardens in Monaco

Discover a greener side of the Principality through Japanese landscape design, rose collections, Mediterranean planting and historic cliffside gardens. Monaco’s compact size makes it easy to combine several green spaces with nearby districts.

Essential Gardens

Three gardens for three different sides of Monaco

Start with the garden that fits your existing itinerary rather than crossing the Principality only to tick off another green space.

Eastern Monaco · Larvotto

Japanese Garden

Located close to Larvotto and the Grimaldi Forum, the Japanese Garden combines water, stone, bridges, pavilions and carefully arranged vegetation in a compact urban setting. It works especially well as a quiet pause between the seafront and Monte-Carlo.

Plan Your Visit

Match the garden to your route

Opening arrangements and accessibility vary by site. Use district guides and the accessibility guide when slopes, gates or step-free access matter to your visit.

Before you go: check current opening arrangements, bring water in warm weather and wear comfortable shoes. Some garden routes include slopes, while maintenance can temporarily alter access.

Explore Monaco beyond the gardens

Combine green spaces with neighbourhoods, museums, beaches and waterfront walks across the Principality.
