Monaco Hercules harbour
Monaco Hercules harbouris one of the representative coastal views on the French Riviera, mainly consisting of two parts: Hercules Port and Port de Fontvieille. The main port, Hercules Port, is located in the La Condamine district at the foot of the rock where the Prince's Palace stands. Formed by a natural bay, it is a rare deep-water harbor on the French Riviera. As early as the ancient Greek and Roman periods, this place was a stopover for merchant ships, and its long maritime history adds a rich cultural atmosphere to the port area. The harbor is backed by towering cliffs and protected by breakwaters on the outside. The waters are generally calm, with yachts and boats moored within, creating a rich, layered coastal view. Strolling along the harbor promenade, visitors can enjoy a close-up view of the moored sailboats, yachts, and harbor scenery, and can also look up to see the Prince's Palace, the Cathedral, and the Oceanographic Museum atop the rock. The roads and ramps around the port area are interconnected; by walking up the winding alleys, you can reach the top of the rock and overlook the entire harbor, boats, and the azure sea from above.La Condamine · 686m from Monte Carlo
Monaco Circuit
Monaco CircuitIt primarily traverses the two districts of Monte Carlo and La Condamine, linking the yacht harbor, city streets, and coastal view along the way. Unlike purpose-built racetracks, this circuit is composed directly of existing city roads. The layout is compact, and the surrounding buildings, road surfaces, and harbor views create a unique racing environment. The circuit length per lap is approx. 3.3 km, featuring multiple consecutive corners, and the race typically requires completing over 70 laps. Due to the narrow roads and dense corners, the guardrails on both sides of the track are very close to the cars, leaving drivers with very limited space to correct their lines. After cars speed through the tunnel, they immediately enter the Swimming Pool corner complex, navigating the driving line amidst continuous turns and narrow road surfaces, before driving back to the start/finish area near the harbor. The tunnel, corners, guardrails, pit lane, and starting grid together form the infrastructure required for the race.La Condamine · 766m from Monte Carlo
Cathedral of Our Lady Immaculate
The Cathedral of Our Lady Immaculate, also known as the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas, is where many members of the Grimaldi family are buried, including the well-known Princess Grace Kelly and the more recent King Rainier III. The church was built in 1875 as a Roman-Byzantine building on the original site of a parish church in Monaco built in 1252. The church provides papal services on major national festivals, and during festivals and religious concerts, one can listen to the beautiful music played by the four-key organ built in 1976. Monaco Cathedral is also a romantic wedding venue, where the newlyweds complete their lifelong commitments to each other under the witness of the priest.Monaco City · 1.1 km from Monte Carlo

Princess Grace Japanese Garden
The Japanese Garden is located in the center of the city, covering an area of 7,000 square meters. The carefully arranged landscapes and pavilions in the garden all reflect the Zen interpretation of the relationship between nature and people, which is simple but not simple. Visitors can experience the strong oriental style and the beauty of harmony between nature and people. A touch of green in this modern high-rise building is a veritable city garden.Monaco City · 422m from Monte Carlo
Louis II Stadium
The Stade Louis II is located in the Fontvieille area of Monaco and is the home ground of the Monaco Football Club, which participates in the French Football League, and the Monaco National Football Team. In addition, sporting events such as the IAAF World Athletics Finals have been held. The European football matches from 1998 to 2012 were held here. The stadium was named after Prince Louis II of Monaco when it was first built. In the 1980s, the reconstructed new stadium was adjacent to the original site and was located on the land generated by reclamation. It can accommodate about 18,500 people, which is very small in a well-known European stadium. And due to space constraints, many facilities are located underground, such as the stadium's parking garage, which is located directly under the stadium's turf.Fontvieille · 1.6 km from Monte Carlo

Larvotto Beach
Laverto Beach is a small man-made beach in the south of Monaco with a very nice view. Here you can swim directly into the water, and the sea water is artificially managed and very clean. There are awnings on the beach, so you can relax on a chair or sunbathe on the soft sand. With the blue sky and blue water, plus the holiday mood, you can relax all day long here. However, there will be more people on the beach, so it is recommended to choose a time with fewer people.Monaco City · 894m from Monte Carlo
Roseraie Princesse Grace
The Rose Garden is located in the Fontvieille district in the southwest of Monaco. It was established on June 18, 1984 in memory of Princess Grace, who was loved by the people of Monaco. The garden has a total area of more than 5,000 square meters. There are more than 300 varieties of roses, and there are about 8,000 plants, each of which is named after a member of the royal family. In the rose season, thousands of roses are blooming, which is really beautiful and romantic, and I can't help but think of the touching love story of Princess Grace and Rainier III.Fontvieille · 1.5 km from Monte Carlo

Monaco Port is an exquisite harbor situated on the azure Mediterranean coast, backed by the city's picturesque hillside architecture, and its waters are perpetually dotted with luxurious private yachts. It serves as a vital passenger and cruise ship terminal, and is also a popular tourist destination. A leisurely stroll along the harbor promenade offers a refreshing sea breeze and breathtaking views of the sea and sky merging seamlessly.

One of the four most famous racetracks in the world, it is a street race track. It is the shortest of the F1 race tracks and has the slowest corner and famous tunnel. At the same time, because it is a street race, the team's gas station is also very small and narrow. However, due to the high technical requirements of the track, suspension and tires are very important, and the championship of this race is also the dream of many drivers.

Monaco is very close to Nice and can be reached by bus. It is a small city, but it is small and has its essence. Although churches in Europe are similar, this church is still very meaningful. Because this church is where Princess Grace and the Prince got married. It is also where they are buried. The exterior walls of this Byzantine-style building are mainly white, which looks very solemn.

You have to climb a big slope to get to the Prince's Palace from the port of Monaco. It's a little tiring, but the scenery along the way is very beautiful, and basically the whole Monaco is in front of you. You can take a bus to Monte Carlo for 1.5 euros.

The color of the sea is so prettyㅜ The small and cozy beach is really pretty, but the pebbles are sharp so it hurts a lot when you walk barefoot^^
