Monaco’s peak summer season is in full swing, and visitors from across the globe are making the most of their time in the Principality…
From cultural landmarks to scenic viewpoints, tourists are spending their days exploring the territory’s most popular attractions.
Top of the list for many is the Oceanographic Museum, which continues to be a major draw for families and solo travellers alike. Several visitors highlighted its educational value, impressive marine life exhibits, and the ecological message behind its displays. For others, the appeal lies in the museum’s architecture and dramatic cliffside setting.
The Prince’s Palace and Monaco Cathedral are also key destinations, offering insight into the Principality’s history and tradition. Many tourists follow a familiar route, starting with a tour of the old town, then moving down to the harbour and eventually to Monte-Carlo to visit the Casino.
Some visitors come just for the day, taking advantage of Monaco’s proximity to Nice and other parts of the Riviera. Others are first-time visitors fulfilling long-held plans to discover the Principality in person.
Overall, tourists have responded positively to their experience in Monaco. They praise the cleanliness, walkability, and variety of things to see in a compact area. Families, in particular, appreciate the balance of cultural and recreational offerings.
With visitor numbers at their highest during July and August, Monaco’s key institutions are seeing steady footfall, a reminder of the enduring appeal of its heritage, institutions, and coastal setting.
