Must-Try!

A caramelized onion tart topped with anchovies and olives; a regional savory pastry popular in bakeries and casual eateries.

A sandwich version of the Salade Niçoise on crusty bread—ideal for picnics on the coast or hikes.

Always start interactions with 'Bonjour' (or 'Bonsoir' after sundown); a polite greeting sets a positive tone and is appreciated.

Dress smart-casual around Monaco and upscale venues; avoid beachwear away from the shore. Keep noise down in residential areas and public transport.

French is the local language; a few polite phrases go a long way. Many people in the tourist industry speak English, but attempting French is seen as polite.

Use formal address ('Monsieur/Madame') in shops and restaurants until invited to use first names; a respectful, slightly formal tone is common with strangers.

Service is normally included in restaurant bills in France ('service compris'), but leaving small change or rounding up for exceptional service is appreciated. For cafés, taxis and hotel porters, tipping a few euros is common but not obligatory.

Credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard) are widely accepted; carry some euros for small vendors, markets and parking meters. Contactless payments and mobile wallets are increasingly supported. ATMs are common but check fees from your bank for international withdrawals.

Hot, sunny and busy with tourists; beaches and coastal paths are lively. Bring sun protection, book restaurants and accommodations early, and expect crowded parking and beaches.

Milder temperatures and fewer crowds make this an excellent time for walks and photography; some days remain pleasantly warm, with occasional rain.

Generally mild but cooler and wetter than summer; Monaco’s events (like the Grand Prix preparations and holiday lights) can affect crowds and lodging prices. Pack a warm jacket for evening sea breezes.

Blooming gardens, comfortable temperatures and manageable visitor levels—ideal for hiking, markets and coastal photography when wildflowers are out.

A dramatic coastal path with sea cliffs, pebbly coves and excellent viewpoints; sections are short and accessible for most walkers.

Hiking routes up Mont Agel provide panoramic views over Monaco and the coast; varied difficulty levels and good for half-day hikes.

Trails along the corniche offer elevated coastal vistas and historic villages; combine hiking with visits to Eze village and botanical gardens.

A steeper hike to an iconic viewpoint with dramatic overlooks of the coastline—best for sunrise or sunset photography.

The Mediterranean coast is a major center for sailing and yachting, with many regattas and marina facilities nearby.

Football is popular locally, with local amateur clubs and enthusiastic regional followings for national teams and Monaco’s AS Monaco club.
