City Guide Monaco

To mark the 83rd edition of the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026, the Louis Vuitton City Guide takes an insider’s look at Monaco, a vibrant, cosmopolitan microstate perched between the mountains and the Mediterranean. This discerning guide covers some 200 highlights of the city, from starred hotels to culinary experiences, from cultural hotspots to sport activities, all with personal picks by Célia Bernasconi, director of the Monaco Heritage Institute and a native of “The Rock”. In addition to an exclusive portfolio of photographs by Pascal Aimar, a member of the Tendance Floue collective, photographer Marie Deteneuille captures the portraits of ten local figures: from the artistic coordinator overseeing the restoration of the Prince’s Palace to the last fisherman in the port of Monaco; from a gaming employee at the Casino to the artistic director of the Printemps des Arts de Monte-Carlo – not to mention the “king of socca” and former personal secretary to Grace Kelly. A special section is dedicated to Formula 1 and the Monaco Grand Prix auto race, imaginatively illustrated by Jean Dalin. The Louis Vuitton City Guide spots trends, gives advice, and tracks the changes transforming cities. Exploring the world’s leading metropolises for over 20 years, it takes an offbeat look at fashion, design, contemporary art, food and culture in 35 cities, including Paris, New York, London and Tokyo. Writers and guests from all walks of life provide a completely subjective view of the most beautiful hotels, the best restaurants, the quirkiest shops, and the most famous historic places.
