https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/enMon, 20 Jul 2026 09:14:50 +0200All news from the MonServicePublic.gouv.mc websiteen-GBhttps://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/visit-monaco-city-walk-a-different-way-to-explore-the-principalityThu, 16 Jul 2026 11:02:22 +0200 Developed jointly by the Ministry of Public Works, the Environment and Urban Development, the Ministry of Finance and Economy, and the Interministerial Delegation for Digital Transition (DITN), Visit Monaco City Walk is a new initiative launched by the Principality to help visitors discover the Destination in a different way. Created for those who wish to explore Monaco at their own pace, "Visit Monaco City Walk" encourages visitors to experience the Principality in a new way: leave their car behind on arrival, explore the neighbourhoods on foot, enjoy the many experiences on offer along the way, and simply let themselves be guided throughout their visit.A new way to discover Monaco with easeAt the heart of the initiative is the citywalk.visitmonaco.com website, where visitors can easily plan their stay, choose their preferred route and discover Monaco at their own pace.To make planning even easier, visitors can also check real-time parking availability, regardless of whether they drive an electric or combustion-engine vehicle. They can also reserve a space directly at the Salines Car Park, an option that will soon be extended to the Wurtemberg Car Park.Walking routes to explore Monaco neighbourhood by neighbourhoodThe initiative offers a selection of walking routes showcasing must-see attractions, gardens, museums, shops, restaurants and panoramic viewpoints. For every route, the website shows the distance, estimated walking time and key stops, while dedicated wayfinding signage installed throughout the Principality helps visitors follow their chosen route.These routes are fully flexible: they can be completed on foot alone, or combined with the bus network to reach another neighbourhood, shorten an itinerary, or simply continue exploring with ease.An interactive map to help visitors plan and enjoy their stay The citywalk.visitmonaco.com website features an interactive map enabling visitors to explore Monaco's different neighbourhoods through dedicated icons.For each itinerary, visitors can view the distance, estimated walking time, an introduction to the neighbourhood, together with a detailed route description and its various points of interest. This allows everyone to choose the experience that best matches their interests and easily plan their day around the places they wish to discover.An initiative integrated into the Destination's digital ecosystemVisit Monaco City Walk complements the range of digital services already available to support visitors before and during their stay, including Monapass, Your Monaco, Monaco Bus, Taxi Monaco, Mobee, Citymapper, Ma Place PMR and StreetNav: services that make getting around easier and help visitors make the most of everything the Destination has to offer.Useful links:Visit the dedicated website: citywalk.visitmonaco.comFind the tourist routes at: www.visitmonaco.com https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/what-s-on-this-week-in-monaco67Mon, 13 Jul 2026 10:35:55 +0200 Get inspired for the days ahead!

These new payment methods enable users to purchase tickets and services more quickly and conveniently. Launched in 2021, Monapass has become, in just five years, a flagship application providing access to a wide range of services across the Principality. Initially dedicated to mobility, it now enables users to purchase tickets for the Compagnie des Autobus de Monaco and MonaBike, pay for on-street parking, and buy tickets for cultural venues, events and leisure activities (including cinema tickets and admission to the Grimaldi Forum Monaco Summer Exhibition, among others).Available in French and English on both iPhone and Android, the application currently records more than 1,450 unique users every day and around 2,700 ticket validations daily.Since its launch, Monapass has continued to evolve with the introduction of real-time transport information, notifications, new cultural and tourism services, as well as offers linked to sporting events and major events hosted in the Principality. The integration of Apple Pay and Google Pay therefore represents a further step in this continuous enhancement.Users wishing to receive assistance in using these new payment methods may contact the Monapass Hotline (+377 98 98 99 29) and/or seek support from the advisers at the Digital House, who provide free assistance with digital services and online procedures. Advisers are currently available without appointment at the Monaco Telecom store in Fontvieille. https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/mobility-summer-bus-service-enhancement-on-l2-lineFri, 10 Jul 2026 10:14:22 +0200 Since 4 July 2026, the L2 bus line, which connects Salines Car Park to Monaco-Ville, has been reinforced on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. Three additional buses are deployed during this time slot until the end of the summer season. This measure responds to the high passenger volumes recorded on the L2 line during summer weekends, particularly departing from Salines Car Park. It will improve passenger comfort during peak travel times and streamline journeys between Salines Car Park and Monaco-Ville.Visitors choosing to arrive by car are encouraged to use the town-entrance car parks, in particular Salines Car Park. Drivers parking there benefit from 10 free journeys on the Monaco Bus Company (CAM) network, enabling them to reach the Principality's main attractions easily by public transport. https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/the-spme-becomes-the-dpmfeTue, 07 Jul 2026 18:03:49 +0200 The State Medical Benefits Office is changing its name. As the Health Insurance Funds and family allowance fund for all employees working for the State or the Commune, the SPME has, since 1 July 2026, become the Department of State Medical and Family Benefits (DPMFE).The address of its offices located at 23, Avenue Albert II (2nd floor of the Fontvieille Shopping Centre), as well as telephone numbers and opening hours for in-person and telephone enquiries remain unchanged.Find all relevant procedures and the DPMFE contact details on MonServicePublic.Did you know? You can find the contact details of all Departments in the Directory of Government Departments. https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/driving-licence-monaco-introduces-a-new-formatWed, 08 Jul 2026 14:53:10 +0200 From 4 July 2026, the Principality is introducing a new bank card-format driving licence, designed to be more practical for everyday use, more secure, more durable and fully compliant with international standards. This new model will progressively replace the current driving licence, which will remain valid for several years. Both formats will coexist during this transitional period. Holders of the current-format driving licence therefore have no immediate action to take. From 4 July 2026, the Principality is introducing a new bank card-format driving licence, designed to be more practical for everyday use, more secure, more durable and fully compliant with international standards. This new model will progressively replace the current driving licence, which will remain valid for several years. Both formats will coexist during this transitional period. Holders of the current-format driving licence therefore have no immediate action to take.More compact than the current model, the new driving licence is manufactured from a recyclable material. It also incorporates numerous advanced security features, including, on the reverse, a visible digital certificate enabling its authenticity to be verified quickly during roadside checks.Another important change is that the licence card will now have to be renewed every fifteen years, as is already the case for passports and national identity cards. This is a purely administrative procedure intended to update the holder's photograph; no new driving test or examination will be required. The fee remains unchanged at €23 (2026 rate), whether for a first issue or a renewal.To support this change, a new online driving licence renewal service is now available on the monguichet.mc platform. Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, this online service enables users to complete the entire renewal procedure remotely, simply and securely, without the need to travel in most cases. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Office encourages users to make use of this new digital service, developed to simplify administrative procedures and reduce processing times.Designed to provide a smoother and more intuitive user experience, the online service includes the electronic submission of the applicant's identity photograph, together with a handwritten signature capture facility that can be completed directly on a touchscreen or by scanning a QR code. Led by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Office, in close cooperation with the Digital Services Department and the Information Systems Department, the project also includes the modernisation of the Office's information system, paving the way for further digital developments. It also illustrates the Prince's Government's ongoing commitment to delivering public services that are ever simpler, more accessible and more innovative.  https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/what-s-on-this-week-in-monaco66Mon, 06 Jul 2026 19:34:19 +0200 Get inspired for the days ahead!

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.Dates:15/07/2026: French22/07/2026: English12/08/2026: French19/08/2026: EnglishPlease note: These tours are open to the general public but involve a significant amount of walking throughout the Principality.

In light of the risks associated with rising temperatures, the Prince’s Government is calling on everyone to exercise the utmost vigilance, particularly towards the most vulnerable members of the population. Prolonged exposure to heat can lead to dehydration or heatstroke, which may sometimes be severe. Infants, young children, pregnant women, older persons and people living with chronic illnesses are particularly vulnerable.Healthy individuals are not immune, however. Athletes, outdoor workers and anyone exposed to heat for prolonged periods should also adopt the appropriate precautions to protect themselves.A few simple measures can help prevent the effects of heat: Drink at least 1.5 litres of water throughout the dayCool down regularlyLimit outings and avoid physical activity during the hottest hours of the dayKeep your home cool by closing shutters and windows during the dayCheck regularly on relatives and neighbours, particularly those who are isolated or vulnerableEveryone’s vigilance is essential to protect the most vulnerable and to get through this period of hot weather safely.In the event of illness, heatstroke or any emergency, dial 112. https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/what-s-on-this-week-in-monaco65Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:12:11 +0200 Get inspired for the days ahead!

At a time when digital platforms, social media and artificial intelligence tools increasingly blur the line between information and misinformation, media and information literacy has become a major challenge. With this objective in mind, the Prince’s Government, in coordination with the Council of Europe, will roll out a multidisciplinary programme extending beyond the period of Monaco’s Presidency of the Committee of Ministers. In the Principality A wide range of initiatives, the detailed programme of which will be unveiled shortly, will take place in October 2026, including a press conference, a public round table featuring specialists in the field, as well as workshops and debates within educational establishments involving international experts and Monegasque journalists. An audiovisual awareness campaign will also be produced to complement these initiatives. Through a Socratic approach, it will encourage audiences to reflect on the mechanisms of information overload, conspiracy theories and disinformation. Drawing on the codes of fiction and situated somewhere between short-format series such as Bref or Migraine and social media content, these video capsules will be specifically designed to engage the campaign’s primary target audience: young people.At the European LevelIn the same spirit, the programme will encourage young Europeans not only to question information critically but also to play an active role in combating disinformation by involving them directly in the development of solutions. The highlight of the programme will take place on 9 and 10 November 2026, when nearly forty young people from across Europe will be welcomed to Strasbourg, at the Palace of Europe and the European Youth Centre. This high-level international conference, which will mark the conclusion of Monaco’s Presidency, will feature round tables and interactive workshops bringing together international experts, representatives of media organisations and institutions, young journalists and social media stakeholders to discuss, together with the young participants, issues relating to information integrity. The event will also mark an important milestone in the programme’s international development, as it will coincide with the launch of working groups composed of young people aged 18 to 30, selected through the call for applications described below, who will work over the course of a year on the development of practical projects promoting reliable information and quality journalism.  Young nationals of Council of Europe member States wishing to take part in this initiative and attend the workshops in Strasbourg on 9 and 10 November are invited to submit a technological, artistic or eco-citizenship project via the online application form available on the Council of Europe website: Youth Facing Disinformation – Why Journalists Matter - Freedom of Expression. Application deadline: 1 July 2026.Young people who do not wish to join a year-long working group but would nevertheless like to take part in the Strasbourg events on 9 and 10 November 2026 may apply through a separate call for participation, which will be open from 6 July to 1 September 2026. https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/exceptional-closure-of-the-ministry-of-state-reception-deskThu, 25 Jun 2026 17:59:26 +0200 The Ministry of State reception desk  will be closed tomorrow, Friday 26 June 2026, from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm.

Developed jointly by the teams of the National Archives, the Digital Services Department and the Information Systems Department, the website provides researchers, genealogists and the general public with easy access to a wide range of heritage resources. It also offers archive holders, whether government departments, businesses or private individuals, guidance and procedures for the proper management of their records and data. In its first year, the website surpassed 15,000 visits. Nearly 60,000 pages were viewed, reflecting growing public interest.Among its most popular features are:Search tools for archival collections  Passport application records of Monegasque nationals between 1917 and 1931, particularly valuable for genealogical research alongside the municipal civil status recordsUrban planning photographs documenting the evolution of MonacoTo date, 94 archival finding aids and collection descriptions are available online, including nearly one-third originating from the Caroline Media Library Heritage Collection, notably relating to the historical archives of the Municipality.This first year was also marked by the launch of the virtual exhibition dedicated to the 20th anniversary of Monaco’s accession to the Council of Europe, as well as the publication of numerous documents and thematic files, including several series linked to current events, such as motor sport, the visit of Pope Leo XIV, and commemorations of the 1956 Princely Wedding.To celebrate this anniversary, six new finding aids are being published this week, devoted in particular to AS Monaco FC, the Monaco Grand Prix, the Monte-Carlo Rally, and the 1967 Montreal World Expo.In the coming months, in addition to numerous news features, new public and private archival inventories will be made available online, together with the digital version of the exhibition “Preserving the Mediterranean: RAMOGE, a Pioneering Agreement for 50 Years.”The National Archives Department and the Digital Services Department are thus continuing their shared ambition: to make Monaco’s heritage ever more accessible through digital technology. Visit the Website! https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/what-s-on-this-week-in-monaco64Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:35:34 +0200 Get inspired for the days ahead!

In view of the risks associated with rising daytime and night-time temperatures, the Prince's Government is urging everyone to exercise the utmost vigilance, particularly with regard to the most vulnerable members of the community. Prolonged exposure to heat should be avoided, as it can have serious health consequences, including dehydration, heatstroke and fainting.Infants, young children, pregnant women, older persons and people suffering from chronic illnesses are particularly vulnerable.Likewise, outdoor workers, athletes and anyone exposed to heat for prolonged periods should take appropriate precautions to protect themselves.A few simple measures can help reduce the risks associated with high temperatures:Limit outings and avoid physical activity during the hottest hours of the dayKeep your home cool by closing shutters and windows during the dayDrink at least 1.5 litres of water a day, spread throughout the dayCool down regularlyCheck regularly on relatives and neighbours, particularly those who are isolated or vulnerableEveryone has a role to play in protecting the most vulnerable and helping ensure that this heatwave period passes safely.In the event of illness, heatstroke or any emergency, please dial 112. https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/launch-of-the-cid-alumni-communityThu, 25 Jun 2026 11:32:31 +0200 The Committee for Graduate Employment (CID) officially launched the "CID Alumni" community on Tuesday 16 June, a new network designed to strengthen ties among graduates of the Principality and support their professional integration and career development. Created in 2010 at the initiative of the Prince's Government, under the aegis of the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs, the CID supports students and young graduates in gaining access to the labour market. Since its creation, nearly 2,700 young people have benefited from its personalised support, with a professional integration rate approaching 78%.This new “CID Alumni” community brings together former CID beneficiaries, young graduates entering the workforce and Monegasques returning to the Principality. It aims to encourage the sharing of experiences and opportunities through meetings, thematic exchanges and, ultimately, mentoring initiatives.For more information on the Committee for Graduate Employment (CID), please see the dedicated page. https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/declaring-shore-based-recreational-fishing-activities-on-monguichet.mcMon, 22 Jun 2026 11:42:09 +0200 This mandatory declaration is now available online via MonGuichet.mc thanks to a new online service that simplifies procedures for users while facilitating the processing of applications by the Government. In order to support the development of recreational fishing in the Principality and to improve knowledge of those practising the activity, a mandatory declaration procedure was introduced in 2025.Valid for a period of three years, this declaration enables recreational anglers, both adults and children, to pursue this activity within a regulated framework. It also enables the Government to maintain contact details for participants and to keep them informed, particularly in the event of regulatory changes. Finally, it contributes to a better understanding of recreational fishing practices, with a view to monitoring the activity and preserving the marine environment.Since its introduction, the scheme has been widely adopted by users, with 614 declarations recorded in 2025 and a further 190 declarations already submitted since the beginning of 2026.In response to users’ requests to complete this formality without having to travel in person, and in order to facilitate the processing of applications, the Prince’s Government has launched a new online service on MonGuichet.mc, enabling the entire declaration process to be completed online quickly and easily, in just a few clicks. https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/monaco-to-host-the-3rd-ocean-space-forum-on-2-july-2026Wed, 17 Jun 2026 10:07:27 +0200 The Prince’s Government, in partnership with the French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES) and Prométhée Earth Intelligence, is organising the 3rd Ocean Space Forum, which will take place on Thursday 2 July 2026 at the Rainier III Auditorium, under the High Patronage of H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince.Led within the Prince’s Government by the Monaco Office for Outer Space Affairs (BAS) , this event reflects the Principality’s commitment to promoting the use of space technologies in support of ocean protection and climate action. A Summit at the Heart of Today’s ChallengesAt the crossroads of ocean, climate and space-related issues, the Ocean Space Forum aims to strengthen dialogue between public policymakers, international organisations, scientific, industrial and academic stakeholders, and representatives of the space sector. Through conferences, thematic round tables and dedicated discussion sessions, the event will highlight the growing role of space technologies in advancing the understanding, protection and sustainable management of the ocean. Earth observation satellites, space-based services, maritime surveillance systems and emerging capabilities from the space sector now constitute essential tools for improving our understanding of the effects of climate change on the ocean, supporting conservation policies, contributing to the decarbonisation of maritime activities and strengthening the resilience of coastal and island communities.A Forum Supporting the Momentum of the Space4Ocean AllianceThe 2026 edition also forms part of the momentum of the Space4Ocean (S4O) Alliance, of which the Prince’s Government is a founding member. Officially launched during the Third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3) in Nice in June 2025, this international initiative seeks to encourage the mobilisation of space capabilities in support of ocean preservation by fostering cooperation between public institutions, international organisations and scientific stakeholders.

Prolonged exposure to heat can lead to dehydration or heat stroke, which may sometimes be severe. Babies, young children, pregnant women, older persons and people living with chronic illnesses are particularly vulnerable.However, healthy people are not immune. Athletes, outdoor workers or anyone exposed to heat for prolonged periods should also adopt the appropriate precautions to protect themselves.A few simple measures can help prevent the effects of heat:Drink at least 1.5 litres per day, spread throughout the dayCool down regularlyLimit outings and avoid physical activity during the hottest hours of the dayKeep your home cool by closing shutters and windows during the daytime hours Check regularly on relatives and neighbours, particularly those who are isolated or vulnerableEveryone's vigilance is essential to protect the most vulnerable and to get through periods of hot weather safely. In the event of illness, heatstroke or any emergency, dial 112. https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/health-situation-relating-to-hantavirus-outbreak-identified-on-cruise-ship-mv-hondiusThu, 21 May 2026 10:58:28 +0200 At this stage, no contact cases residing in the Principality have been identified. The Prince's Government is closely monitoring the health situation related to the hantavirus outbreak identified on board the cruise ship MV Hondius, whose passengers were disembarked on 10 May in the Canary Islands before their return to their respective countries.Accordingly, the Monegasque health authorities are fully mobilised. They ensure continuous monitoring of the situation's evolution, following international recommendations, and in coordination with local and regional healthcare professionals.With regard to protective measures, the Principality of Monaco has a strategic stock of surgical masks and FFP2 masks, allowing, if necessary, to respond to an epidemic risk.To date, the health situation relating to hantavirus corresponds to a limited international cluster, linked to a single index event, with no evidence of spread within the general population.It warrants heightened vigilance to enable rapid detection of any imported cases and to ensure the health system is prepared, without impact on the normal functioning of care provision, nor any need for special measures for the population.The Prince's Government will keep the public informed of any developments in the situation. https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/what-s-on-this-week-in-monaco59Mon, 18 May 2026 12:11:03 +0200 Get inspired for the days ahead!
