Monte Carlo Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
The centre of Monte Carlo itself, awash with shopping streets and places to eat and drink, is actually relatively easy to walk around as it slopes gently towards a dalliance with the Mediterranean at the Port de Monaco.
Monaco-Ville hovers above, home to the landmark Palais du Prince and seat of power of the famous Grimaldi family. The views are superb from the courtyard back towards the skyscrapers of Monte Carlo and to the south a web of narrow streets form the most attractive old part of the city.
On the other side of Monaco-Ville is the Port de Fontvieille, now reinvented as something of a leisure oasis, while to the north is the famous Monte Carlo Casino.

As with almost everything, the principality's and the city's tourist offices are inexorably linked. The main tourist office (above) is located right in the city centre. The helpful staff dispense information, as well as hand out maps and brochures. They can also arrange tours and accommodation, as well as excursions outside of the city.
