Monte Carlo City Breaks

City breaks to Monte Carlo offer an intriguing taste of the jet-set lifestyle and a fascinating insight into the frequently surreal lifestyle of the idiosyncratic principality of Monaco. Few city break destinations can rival Monte Carlo when it comes to luxury yachts, grand hotels and the flagrant celebration of opulent wealth. The city will delight fans of stylish cafes, smart restaurants, designer boutiques and chic nightclubs. However, there is far more to Monte Carlo city breaks than expensive jewellery and fine dining. The city boasts a superb Mediterranean holiday climate and a wonderfully romantic setting with spectacular views of the glittering Côte d’Azur. An absorbing collection of unusual sights and attractions makes for an entertaining short break holiday. You can book Monte Carlo city breaks online or by phone with directline-city breaks.

All self-respecting Monte Carlo city breaks should include a pilgrimage to the weird and wonderful Prince’s Palace. The Grimaldi family residence is home to the cathedral tomb of Princess Grace. The other essential sight is the legendary casino: a wonderfully eccentric architectural concoction with romantic terraced gardens overlooking the glitz and glamour of La Condamine harbour. Even the shortest of Monte Carlo short breaks will allow time for the atmospheric medieval streets of Monaco-Ville, swish marinas, quirky museums and a charming collection of parks and gardens. Lifts are a great way to negotiate steep terrain. Long weekend breaks to Monte Carlo allow time for day trips to glamorous Antibes, legendary St Tropez or the stylish France city break favourites of Nice and Cannes.

Mild French Riviera weather means Monte Carlo city breaks are popular all year round. Short breaks to Monte Carlo are especially memorable when coinciding with events like the Spring Arts Festival, the International Dog Show, the Yacht Show and the Monaco Grand Prix.
