Heritage Tours: At the Heart of Monaco

With the aim of showcasing the richness and diversity of Monaco's heritage to visitors from around the world, the Heritage Institute is launching from 1 July to 19 August 2026, a series of heritage tours,  offering two guided itineraries through the districts of Monaco-Ville (Le Rocher) and Monte-Carlo & Mareterra.

You will be invited to discover the historic district of "Le Rocher", a journey back to the origins of the Principality, and the legendary district of Monte-Carlo, now recognised worldwide, followed by the exploration of Mareterra, the land extension district, a new eco-district that continues to push the boundaries of what is possible.

Join us every Wednesday from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm for a guided tour in French or English. 

Monaco-Ville, Le Rocher - or A Roca, as it is known by Monegasques - is the historic and institutional heart of the Principality, where tradition and modernity have met for centuries. Established for strategic reasons, this emblematic site embodies the origins of Monaco and the visionary legacy of its rulers. An invitation to immerse yourself in the soul of the Principality, where it all began.

Who has never referred to Monaco by mentioning Monte-Carlo? Named after Prince Charles III, this famous district has made the Principality known throughout the world.
This guided tour retraces the remarkable story of a district that became both a world-renowned centre for gaming and culture, and the cradle of an urban vision unlike any other.Today, that story continues with Mareterra, a new eco-district built on land reclaimed from the sea, bringing together some of the world's leading contemporary architects. A remarkable engineering achievement that perpetuates Monaco's spirit of boldness while embracing tomorrow's environmental challenges.
Blending historical heritage, little-known stories and contemporary challenges, this tour reveals Monaco from a fresh perspective, where the past meets the future.

Please note: These tours are open to the general public but involve a significant amount of walking throughout the Principality. Participants are therefore advised to wear suitable clothing and
footwear.
The "Le Rocher" tour is accessible to persons with reduced mobility.
The Monte-Carlo & Mareterra itinerary includes significant changes in elevation and is therefore more physically demanding. Accessibility for persons with reduced mobility cannot be guaranteed.
