If you are already relaxing, then it’s time for our weekend guide. We put together our recommendations in case you can’t decide what to do.
As every year, municipal services offer numerous quality activities throughout the summer for different types of audiences. Among the events that have become unmissable over the years is “Summer at Port Hercule”, which takes place on the Quai Albert Ier, from Friday, July 18 to Sunday, August 24, 2025!
Family-friendly rides and activities are on offer: a carousel, go-karting (for children and adults), basketball courts, duck fishing, a trampoline, small boats, and temporary tattoo stands. Additionally, this year, as part of the partnership with the Grimaldi Forum and its “Colors!” exhibition, numerous children’s workshops will be held in the specially dedicated chalet.
La Note Bleue continues its Summer Festival with a concert of Sai Galaxy ft Oby Onyioha on Friday 22 at 9 pm and Saturday 23 August 2025.
Afro-disco queen Oby Onyioha has set dancefloors around the worlds on fire with her 1981 hit ‘Enjoy Your Life’ re-edited by Soundway Records in 2016. For this very special collaboration, the Nigerian pop-star will perform some of her classics alongside Sai Galaxy, the brainchild of talented producer and percussionist Simon Durrington, whose love for Afro-disco and Afro-house will teleport you right onto the dancefloor!
Mondial du Théâtre 2025, World Festival of Amateur Theatre, is held from 20th to 27th August 2025.
In 2025, the Mondial du Théâtre will bring together 18 troupes from five continents who will offer performances from the repertoire or original works every evening at the Théâtre des Variétés and the Théâtre Princesse Grace.
The exhibition “Monaco and the Napoleon(s): lntertwined Destinies”, for the first time this summer, invites visitors to explore the strong ties that united the reigns of the two French emperors, Napoleon I and Napoleon Ill, with the Grimaldi dynasty. To recount this fascinating and little-known history-marked by grandeur, power, military exploits, and persona! relationships-the event will bring together major historical artifacts that illustrate the origins and formation of the contemporary Monegasque State.
Thanks to the collaboration of leading French and Monegasque museums, prestigious private collections and the invaluable support of the Prince’s Palace of Monaco-providing access to numerous treasures from its collections and archives-nearly 200 works of unique historical and artistic significance, many of which have rarely or never been shown to the public, will be gathered for this exhibition.
The New National Museum of Monaco is dedicating an original exhibition to cacti and succulent plants on 06.07.2025 – 11.01.2026, in collaboration with the YVES SAINT LAURENT Museum in Marrakech, which initiated the project in 2024. Curated by Marc Jeanson and Laurent Le Bon, with scenography by Jasmin Oezcebi, “Cactus” offers a dual perspective, botanical and artistic, on these plants.
To celebrate 50 years in the Principality, Buccellati presents an exceptional exhibition at its boutique in the Hôtel de Paris, Place du Casino. Historic jewelry, fine silversmith pieces, original sketches, and family archives showcase the artistic heritage of the Italian maison.
An Immersive exhibition “There Was a First Time” opened at Louis II Stadium to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
The exhibition is staged along the pedestrian walkway inside the stadium, newly renovated for the occasion, and will be open to the public for several months. It will highlight landmark firsts at the stadium: the first football match, the first world record, the first archery competition, the first concert, the first boxing gala and many others.
Thanks to archives, photographs and posters contributed by various organisations and bodies, visitors will have the opportunity to relive these historic occasions and gain a sense of the impact that the Louis II Stadium has had on sport and culture in Monaco.
