DESTINATION GUIDE
A quiet weekend in Monaco
Between the Grand Prix and the summer crowds, Monaco has a quieter register — this is how to find it.
Most visitors experience Monaco at its loudest: Grand Prix week, the yacht show, the height of summer. But there's a quieter version of the Principality, available most of the year, that rewards a slower pace.
A chauffeur who knows to avoid the Casino Square crowds at the wrong hour, a table at a restaurant that doesn't need a promoted name to be worth the visit, a walk through the old town before the day boats leave the harbour — none of it requires a headline event to justify the trip.
The best weekends here are the ones planned with a little notice, not the ones organized around whatever happens to be on the calendar.
