How to avoid the worst of it today
- The Oceanographic Museum Before 10:00 The old lanes and the palace square in sea light, before the guard-change crowd.
- The Grand Prix circuit Midday The tunnel curve and the climb to Casino Square make the best free walk here.
- Casino Square Dusk Coffee on the terrace as the lights warm, with the gardens behind when it tires you.
Where the crowds are
- The palace square at 11:55: The daily guard-change crush on the Rock's one open space.
- Casino Square's photo ring: Cars, cameras and doormen all day.
Quiet places in Monaco
- The Jardin Exotique cliff: Cactus terraces above the city, and almost private.
- Fontvieille: Rose garden, heliport lawns and harbor, off the visitor loop.
