Princess Caroline Street

Rue Princesse Caroline, pedestrian charm of old Monaco

The Monaco audio-guided tour has you wander through the heart of old Monaco, along Rue Princesse Caroline, one of the finest thoroughfares of the Principality. Charm and photogenic appeal are present in this street full of character.

The only fully pedestrian street

It is often said of Rue Princesse Caroline that it is the miniature version of the nearby Rue Garibaldi. But it is forgotten to mention that, compared to its big sister and the other streets of Monaco, it is the only one to offer an exclusively pedestrian crossing. A real luxury for those who want to move about in complete tranquillity, sheltered from the traffic that otherwise characterises the Principality.

What there is to see

Lined with colourful façades, shops and terraces, Rue Princesse Caroline invites strolling and photography. Its cafés and shops make it a lively place of life in the Condamine district, a stone's throw from the market and the port. It is the ideal place to soak up the authentic atmosphere of old Monaco, far from the glitz of Monte-Carlo.
