While Monaco is getting ready for Christmas there are still quite a few interesting things you can do. So take a break and stroll around, have fun and enjoy your weekend. And here are a few stops we suggest you to make.
Christmas Village 2024 “Gingerbread & Treats” welcomes visitors on Quai Albert Ier so you can enjoy a leisurely stroll there.
And then you can continue your day gazing at Christmas Nativity Trail in Monaco-Ville.
Following the great success of the last year, the second edition of the Sports Village will be held from Friday 20 December to Sunday 5 January 2025 on the southern dock of Port Hercule, in addition to the Christmas Village.
Composed of 3 obstacle courses, inspired by the famous TV game show “Ninja Warrior”, a treetop adventure course and a climbing structure, this fun and sporting activity area will appeal to apprentice ninjas, aged 3 and over.
And for the second consecutive year, a 180-metre-long zip line will allow the most daring of them to fly over the Route de la Piscine from the highest diving board of the swimming pool of the Stade Nautique Rainier III.
Opera: “L’elisir d’amore” (“The Elixir of Love”) is on stage of the Opéra Garnier Monte-Carlo on Sunday 22 December 2024, at 3 pm.

There are several interesting exhibitions going on in Monaco these days. For example, discover the new monographic exhibition by Portuguese artist Francisco Tropa, specially conceived for the Villa Paloma and featuring a previously unseen selection of sculptures, drawings, films and light projections.
The exhibition takes its names from pietre paesine (imaged stones), whose geological designs are evocative of painted landscapes, on the boundary of figuration and abstraction. This idea of an analogy between nature and technique is at the heart of Francisco Tropa’s work, which focuses on the conditions of appearance and perception of an image.
One more exhibition opened this Friday: “Nouvelles Perspectives” (“New Perspectives”) held from Friday 6 to Friday 20 December 2024, 2 pm to 6 pm, Comité National Monégasque A.I.A.P – UNESCO.
The theme of this year’s salon, ‘Nouvelles Perspectives’, commemorates 75 years of UNESCO in the Principality with a special international project, METAVERSE, created as a way of inviting several different countries together. The 2024 Salon will showcase a selection of works by the members of our association in the beautiful exhibition space on Quai Antoine 1er, with an exclusive area reserved for creations by foreign guest artists featuring a real-time screening of an online virtual exhibition.
Of course there are other interesting events taking place in Monaco. If you want to learn more about them visit our Calendar.
So have fun and enjoy your weekend!
