Scenic viewpoint, Panoramic observation deck in Monte Carlo, Monaco.
The viewpoint overlooks Port Hercule, where numerous luxury yachts line the harbor against the backdrop of Mediterranean waters and coastal buildings.
The observation point was integrated into Monaco's urban planning during the 1960s expansion, when Prince Rainier III modernized the principality's infrastructure.
Photographers gather at this location during the Monaco Grand Prix to capture Formula 1 cars racing through the street circuit below.
The panoramic platform remains open daily from sunrise to sunset, offering free access and designated spots for tripod photography.
During clear winter days, visitors can see both the snow-covered Alps and the Mediterranean Sea from this single observation point.
