Place du Casino, Central square in Monte Carlo, Monaco.
Place du Casino is a central square in Monte Carlo, surrounded by Belle Époque buildings and anchored by a circular fountain at its heart. The space is lined with twenty Mediterranean palm trees that frame the elegant setting where visitors gather.
The square gained international attention after the Casino de Monte-Carlo opened in 1863, transforming the region into a destination for wealthy travelers and gaming. This development prompted the construction of the grand buildings that surround the square today.
The square serves as a meeting point where people from around the world gather to experience the luxury and refined architecture that defines Monaco. Visitors observe expensive cars, fashionable individuals, and gain a sense of the principality's lifestyle.
The square is easy to reach on foot, and nearby underground parking offers direct elevator access to the area. Visitors should expect a well-dressed crowd and can explore the square at any time, though evenings tend to feel more active.
During the Monaco Grand Prix, Formula 1 cars race through this square at high speed as part of the street circuit. This dramatic shift from serene elegance to racing excitement once a year makes the location especially memorable for motorsport fans.
