The Principality of Monaco is an interesting place to visit this fall. It gets a little crowded in spring and summer and a little cold in winter, but in autumn Monaco is the perfect place for a quick European getaway. Here are five reasons to visit Monaco this fall:
The weather is perfect
Winter in Monaco is quite wet, while spring is plagued by strong winds, and high temperatures combined with humidity make the weather unmerciful in summer. On the other hand, the months between September and December are absolutely gorgeous. The weather is perfect for all kinds of outdoor activities, be it sailing, shopping or just eating outdoors.
Summer shutdowns in France and Italy are finally over
People who regularly visit Europe on business know that summer is not a time to run errands. This is especially true in southern Europe, when people in France and northern Italy head to the Mediterranean coast in search of relief from high temperatures. Monaco’s excellent position between the French and Italian Riviera means it can get terribly crowded in summer, especially in August and early September. Long lines at restaurants, bars and shops can make Monaco a stressful high season experience. All of this changes at the end of September when you can enjoy the yacht marina, excellent restaurants and the world famous Monte Carlo Casino no crowds or traffic. To experience the true luxury of Monaco, you must visit it in the fall.
Monaco Yacht Show
Although the crowds are disappearing after summer has passed, that doesn’t mean Monaco is closing. On the contrary, the most prestigious and exclusive events on the Monaco calendar are held in the fall, the first being the Monaco Yacht Show. The Monaco Yacht Show this year runs from Sunday 28th September – 1st October and it will feature great yachts as well as luxury cars and even helicopters. If you’ve ever wondered how the super-rich live, this is the place to find out there.

E-Rally Monte-Carlo, from Wednesday 26 to Sunday 30 October 2022, is an authentic regularity road race reserved to 100% Electric Vehicles (excluding any use of range extenders) and 100% Hydrogen-powered cars. It is now very appreciated by car manufacturers and race teams who are eager to show, in a real and tough environment, the technological and innovative potential of their vehicles.

Casino in Monte Carlo
The Monte Carlo casino is the most glamorous in the world and is known as the fictional James Bond playground . Early fall is the best time to visit as there are several exhibitions that allow you to admire world-class art while having fun. Weather permitting, the open-air Salle Blanche offers great views of the blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea and roulette, Punto Banco, poker and Black Jack. Fans of slot machines will enjoy the Salle des Amériques, which has to be the most elegant gambling hall in the world. Roulette players will be attracted to Salle Médecin.
