View from the Rock’s Terrace

If you’re looking for the best possible view of this eccentric, extravagant, and wildly wealthy City-State, there’s only one place to go—straight to the Rock. No hesitation needed. From up here, on this panoramic terrace perched at Monaco’s highest point, the word “contemplate” suddenly takes on a whole new meaning. Don’t you think? Before you unfolds a breathtaking 180° view that seems to stretch endlessly across the horizon. Just below lies La Condamine—Monaco’s beating heart. It’s the traditional district with its charming market, the commercial hub with over 200 shops, and the lively waterfront of Port Hercule, home to the legendary Monaco Grand Prix every year. Further off, tucked at the base of the opposite cliff, is the district that truly needs no introduction: Monte Carlo. Two words that conjure up more dreams and prestige than even the name Monaco itself. This is where you’ll find gourmet restaurants for refined dining, opulent palaces offering the ultimate in luxury, the designer boutiques of the Galerie des Allées Lumières where window-shopping alone feels indulgent, and of course—the iconic Casino, a monument in its own right. Because in Monaco, it’s not just about spending. It’s about living a life so elevated that, truth be told, you can never really have too much money.
