Orient Express train to stop in Monaco for first time in 2027
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
The Orient Express will make its first ever stop in Monaco on 11 May 2027 as part of its Paris to Venice route.
The Orient Express will pull into Monaco-Monte-Carlo station on 11 May 2027, the first time the storied train has stopped in the Principality during its Paris to Venice route. The brief halt will give passengers a rare glimpse of the station before the train continues its journey along the coast and on towards Italy.
The stop marks what organisers describe as a particular link between Monaco and the Orient Express name, though details of how the Principality will mark the occasion have not yet been confirmed. For residents, the visit offers a chance to see the train up close at a station many pass through daily without a second thought.
With more than a year before the scheduled stop, local tourism and hospitality operators are likely to watch closely for any accompanying events or exclusive experiences tied to the visit, particularly given the appeal of the Orient Express name to the kind of visitor Monaco already attracts.
