Monaco observes Labour Day public holiday
The Principality marks May Day with traditional public holiday closures across government services and businesses.
Monaco joins nations worldwide in observing Labour Day, with the public holiday bringing the customary closure of government offices and many businesses throughout the Principality.
The May Day celebration, known locally as Fête du Travail, sees Monaco's administrative services pause their operations, whilst many shops and restaurants also close their doors for the day. Essential services remain operational to ensure residents and visitors can access necessary support.
The holiday provides an opportunity for Monaco's workforce to enjoy a well-deserved break, with many taking advantage of the spring weather to spend time with family or explore the Principality's outdoor spaces. Public transport continues to run on modified schedules to accommodate those wishing to move around during the holiday.
