Rules in force · 6Streets between the harbour, the Rock and Monte-Carlo are…
- Monaco ↗Monaco is not in the EU but is inside the Schengen area in practice through France: the French entry rules for your passport apply, and there are no border checks from France.
- Monaco ↗The Monte-Carlo Casino gaming rooms admit adults only with a passport or ID; Monaco citizens may not gamble there, and dress rules apply in the evening.
- Monaco ↗Do not walk around the town bare-chested or in swimwear away from the beach: local rules forbid it.
- Monte-Carlo ↗Plan every leg along the coast by regional train or bus; avoid the Grand Prix days when trains and roads are full.
- Monaco city ↗Streets between the harbour, the Rock and Monte-Carlo are steep: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk between districts.
- Monaco city ↗During Grand Prix week (late May or early June) streets close for the circuit and hotels on the whole coast fill; plan another date or a base in Nice with an early train.
