Self-guided city games in Monaco’s Old Town

Why explore Monaco with a self-guided city game
A self-guided scavenger hunt is one of the easiest things to do in Monaco without a guide: in about 2 hours you see the main sights of Monaco-Ville at your own pace. The Rock has been the seat of the Grimaldi family since 1297, and Princess Grace and Prince Rainier III are buried in the Cathedral.
Compared with a guided tour, you choose the start time, the pace and the order of the stops, and you can stop for barbagiuan, a local pastry, along the way. The riddles make you look closely at coats of arms, plaques and façades, and the stories that follow explain what you found.
- Start early or late in the day, before or after the day-trip crowds.
- The Rock is reached by steep ramps or lifts, so wear comfortable shoes.
- Start the escape game in daylight, because its puzzles rely on details of the buildings.
- Every stop is seen from outside, so you need no entry tickets.
