Getting Around By Car

All of the car parks are underground and staffed by security guards, making them the best option for parking your vehicle with peace of mind. Although there is a charge for using most of the car parks in Monaco, payment is hassle-free and relatively inexpensive. All of the "Monaco Parking" car parks offer one hour’s free parking.

If you are visiting Monaco for a limited time, the brand new Parking des Salines car park at the western entrance to the city has 1,800 spaces across 15 levels, and is an affordable option at  just €7.50 for a half-day, and €11.00 for a full day. The car park also offers easy access to other modes of transport for getting around in Monaco itself, including two Monabike stations, a free return journey for five people on the "Xpress 1" and "Xpress 2” shuttle buses, and pedestrian access to several districts. The city centre (Place d'Armes) is just 15 minutes away, while the new Les Salines pedestrian tunnel makes it a short walk from the Exotic Garden to Avenue Pasteur, where you can hop across the new Wurtemberg footbridgeto La Condamine and Fontvieille.

Every day, around 100,000 vehicles enter and leave the Principality.  You can obtain real-time updates on traffic conditions on Monaco’s main roads from the Info Trafic website.

Only vehicles registered in the Principality or the French département of Alpes Maritimes are permitted to enter the Old Town district.

Do not leave your vehicle just anywhere, as it will be towed quickly and you will need to reclaim it from the Police Station in Fontvieille.
