Getting around Monaco by car

Driving in Monaco

For the most part, Monaco follows the French Highway Code on a daily basis: the speed limit is 50 km/h, road signs are similar to those in France, and the blood-alcohol limit is 0.5 g/L.

The famous Louis-II tunnel (the Grand Prix tunnel), for example, links Port Hercule to Boulevard du Larvotto and Avenue Princesse Grace, the two roads that cross the coastline and seaside area of Monaco. To the south of the Principality, the Larvotto tunnel, Avenue d'Ostende, Avenue Albert II and Rue Grimaldi lead to Monaco-Ville (home to the Prince's Palace, Cathedral and Oceanographic Museum) and Fontvieille - home to the Princess Grace Rose Garden, Stade Louis II and Heliport.

Parking in Monaco

Outside Monaco-Ville, surface parking is available in Monaco: some 1,000 outdoor parking spaces, managed by the Monaco Municipal Police, are free for electric cars, and chargeable via pay-and-display machines for internal combustion vehicles.
Underground, the Principality of Monaco has a network of some forty public parking lots, most of them underground, for parking close to the city's points of interest. Parking de la Digue du Grimaldi Forum, de la Condamine, Place d'Armes, de la Gare... the whole Principality is criss-crossed by these pay-and-reserve car parks on the Monaco Parkings website. The Parking relais des Salines, based on a new model for Monaco, offers in addition to its parking spaces, access at preferential rates to the shuttle bus service when visiting Monaco. So you can visit Monaco with a light heart!

Car-sharing in Monaco

Many of Monaco's parking lots are partners of the Mobee service, an electric car-sharing system that lets you get around Monaco by car without parking fees or carbon emissions. The various cars in the Mobee fleet can be reserved in just a few clicks via the Mobee by Smeg application. Ideal for using a car in town only when really needed.
