A Weekend in Monaco: The 2-Day Itinerary
Monaco has several museums close together, which makes it a practical one-day town. Think of this as a sketch of a day in Monaco, Monaco: where to start, where to eat twice, and how to end the evening. Every stop is a real place you can look up right now.

Day 1: the essentials
Start with the key stops. Day one covers the main sights in an order that doesn't waste steps.
Col de Verroux
Col de Verroux earns its place on any one-day plan: viewpoints are a fast way to understand a town's layout. Go early for the clearest light.
Antiquarium di Albintimilium
Antiquarium di Albintimilium gives the day some depth beyond sightseeing. An hour or two here pairs well with lunch nearby.
Day 2: go deeper
Slow down on day two. Revisit a favorite, then see what you missed the first time around.
Albert 1er
Albert 1er is one of those Monaco landmarks worth seeing in person. Fold it into the afternoon when the light is good and the pace can relax.
Andrea Doria
Don't skip Andrea Doria. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
Evenings
Both nights deserve a proper ending. If the calendar cooperates, a live event beats a bar; if not, dinner somewhere lively does the job.

Is a weekend enough for Monaco?
