Celebrating 20 years of H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince's reign: Practical information

The celebration of the 20th anniversary of the reign of H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince, on Saturday 19 July 2025, at the Prince's Palace of Monaco, open to Monegasques from 6.30pm to 10.30pm, will involve changes for pedestrians, motorists and public transport.

Therefore, on 19 July, from noon, the Prince's Palace will be cordoned off, with traffic restrictions in place until 4pm. The Rampe Major will be close at noon. It will still be possible to access Monaco-Ville via Porte Neuve and to access the businesses located at the ends of Rue Basse, Rue Comte Félix Gastaldi and Rue Emile de Loth.

From 4pm onwards, access to the Prince's Palace will be restricted to authorised vehicles only. Pedestrian access will be limited and only permitted to those holding an access pass.

From 5.30pm to 6.30pm, all guests may approach the checkpoints (at the start of the Rampe Major and in the three streets leading to the Prince's Palace: Rue Basse, Rue Comte Félix Gastaldi, Rue Emile de Loth) with their invitation card, Monegasque identity card or resident card for spouses of Monegasques.

To access Monaco-Ville, authorised vehicles will still be able to use Avenue de la Porte-Neuve. CAM bus services will continue to operate as usual, free of charge across the entire network on that day.

The following measures apply to public transport and parking:

• Travel on the Monegasque Bus Company (CAM) will be free for event pass holders (people who have an invitation, Monegasque identity card or residence permit for spouses of Monegasques), between 5 pm and 11 pm only
• Additional buses will operate to and from the Rocher along with the regularly scheduled service

Further information is available on the CAM website.

The "Petit Train" tourist train will run to and from Place de la Visitation and Place du Palais between 5.30 pm and 6 pm, as well as when the event is over.

Parking at the Chemin des Pêcheurs car park will be free for anyone entering between 5.30 pm and 8 pm. A ticket is required (offer not valid in conjunction with a membership or Self card).

For those with reduced mobility only, it is still possible to obtain a Rocher access permit for vehicles from Monaco City Hall (protocole@mairie.mc or +377 93 15 29 19). This permit authorises drop-offs before 6pm only.
