The Grand Apartments of the Prince’s Palace have reopened to the public for the 2026 season, offering visitors renewed access to one of Monaco’s most iconic historic sites…
Traditionally open from April to October, the apartments provide a rare opportunity to explore the heritage of the Grimaldi family within a residence that remains very much in use today.
The visit takes guests through a series of remarkable state rooms and reception areas, including the Throne Room, the Blue Drawing Room and the palace library, which also serves as a working space for researchers. Far from being a static museum, the Palace continues to function as a living residence, adding a unique dimension to the experience.
This year’s reopening includes several highlights. A newly accessible room allows visitors to observe ongoing restoration work, with 17th-century frescoes gradually being revealed. The initiative offers a rare behind-the-scenes insight into the conservation of the Palace’s artistic heritage.
An additional attraction for 2026 is a temporary exhibition dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the wedding of Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace, revisiting one of the most defining moments in Monaco’s modern history.
Visitors can explore the apartments daily, with extended opening hours during the summer months, as the Palace once again welcomes tourists eager to discover its history, architecture and enduring cultural significance.
