Monaco Attraction Tickets and Guided Visits

October 20, 2026

Most paid attractions in Monaco sell a plain entry ticket, and only a few add a timed guided slot. The table shows the adult price for 2026 and how each visit works, and the sections after it cover the ones that need planning.

Attraction	Adult price	How it works
Casino morning visit	EUR 20	Self-paced, 10:00 to 13:00, guide on your phone
Prince’s Palace State Apartments	EUR 13	Audioguide, open by season only
Oceanographic Museum	EUR 22.50	Self-paced, last entry 30 minutes before closing
Cars Collection	EUR 10	Self-paced, about 100 cars
Jardin Exotique	EUR 12 (garden only)	Cave by guided tour only
Villa Paloma	EUR 6	Self-paced, guided slots on set days

Visits that need a time slot

The Observatory Cave inside the Jardin Exotique cannot be entered alone. Guided groups leave on the hour from 10:00, each tour lasts 40 to 45 minutes, and the route includes about 300 steps. Adding the cave or the Botanical Centre takes the ticket to EUR 15, and all three together cost EUR 18. The garden’s visit page has the current grid.

Villa Paloma, the one open site of the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco, adds EUR 6 guided visits of about 45 minutes. They run on Saturdays at 11:00 and Sundays at 15:00, with an extra Thursday slot at 12:30 in July and August. Entry itself is free on Sundays and for anyone under 26. Villa Sauber is shut for works, so Paloma is the address to use. Dates and the current show are on the museum’s hours page .

At the palace, guided visits are by reservation only, through visites@palais.mc .

Visits you can do at your own pace

The casino’s morning heritage visit costs EUR 20 for adults and EUR 15 for ages 13 to 17, and ages 6 to 12 go in free. The last entry is at 12:15, and the guide is a download to your own phone, so bring a charged battery. Morning dress is relaxed, and T-shirts, bermuda shorts and trainers are accepted. The games rooms are a different ticket from 14:00, for adults only. They cost EUR 20, which includes EUR 10 to spend, and they need a passport or EU national ID card. Monaco residents may not gamble. The casino’s entry page lists every tier.

The Cars Collection is at 54 route de la Piscine on Port Hercule. Children from 6 to 17 and students pay EUR 5, and younger children are free. Two listings print different opening hours, so confirm them on the collection’s site before you walk down.

At the Oceanographic Museum, students and ages 4 to 17 pay EUR 14. Its online shop shows adult tickets from about EUR 20.50. The Shark Lagoon, Tropical Seas, Sea Turtle Odyssey and the rooftop terrace are open, but the Mediterranean Aquarium is under renovation with no reopening date. Check the practical page for hours.

Seasonal and closed

The State Apartments open for a season that runs roughly from spring to mid-October. The 2026 season ended on 15 October, and the 2027 dates had not been published, so check the palace site before building a day around the interior. Hours are 10:00 to 18:00, stretching to 19:00 in July and August. The rooms shut over Grand Prix weekend and can close without notice. Outside the building, the free guard change at 11:55 on Place du Palais goes ahead all year.

Two other places are closed in 2026 and should stay off a list: the Rainier III Zoological Gardens in Fontvieille, and Villa Sauber.

Combined tickets

The museum sells paired adult tickets: with the Cars Collection EUR 33, with the Jardin Exotique EUR 33, and with the Monaco Le Grand Tour bus EUR 40. The pairing with the palace costs EUR 31, but it only makes sense while the apartments are open.

Loop buses and the tourist train

Two sightseeing loops operate: the Monaco Le Grand Tour hop-on hop-off bus with 12 stops, and a small tourist train that leaves opposite the Oceanographic Museum between February and mid-November. Resellers show roughly EUR 22 to 30 for the bus and about EUR 12 for an adult train ticket, but neither price comes from an official 2026 tariff, so treat them as a guide.
