Views of Monaco
Panoramic photography from the principality's finest vantage points
Monaco occupies less than two square kilometres, yet its vertical geography, from the seafront boulevards to the hillside roads above, creates extraordinary vantage points. The views range from intimate harbour scenes to full panoramas sweeping the entire principality from Fontvieille in the west to the Larvotto beach clubs in the east.

Avenue de Varavilla
One of Monaco's finest panoramic vantage points, offering sweeping views across the entire principality from the Rock to Monte-Carlo. The perspective is dramatic at any time of day, from golden morning light through to the glittering nightscape.
Fontvieille Port
Fontvieille district →The western port of Monaco frames a striking perspective looking eastward towards La Condamine and the Grand Casino. The industrial-turned-cultural quarter gives way to a horizon of high-rises and the Rock of Monaco.
Mareterra: Larvotto Waterfront
Larvotto district →From Monaco's newest district, Mareterra, the camera looks back across Larvotto beach and the principality's eastern coastline. The Mediterranean stretches beyond as the skyline recedes toward Monte-Carlo.
Grand Prix Circuit, near Tip Top
Monte-Carlo district →The most celebrated street circuit in motorsport winds through the city streets below. From the heights near the Tip Top bar, the full scale of the track's urban setting becomes clear: hairpins, barriers and grandstands occupying every available metre.
