The Jardin du Casino surrounds the famous Casino de Monte-Carlo, forming one of the most elegant public spaces in Monaco. Designed in the 19th century, these gardens were created to complement the grandeur of the nearby Belle Époque casino and opera house.
Manicured lawns, flower beds, and ornamental water features frame the paths, creating a refined setting that contrasts with the surrounding luxury hotels and historic buildings. Palm trees and Mediterranean plants thrive in the mild Riviera climate, adding to the garden’s relaxed atmosphere.
The gardens also provide beautiful vantage points for admiring the architecture of Place du Casino, including the ornate façade of the casino designed by Charles Garnier, the architect of the Paris Opéra.
Today, the Jardin du Casino is a pleasant place to pause while exploring Monte Carlo, whether to enjoy the greenery, watch the luxury cars passing through the square, or simply take in the glamorous surroundings.
👉 Local tip: Sit on one of the benches facing Place du Casino for a few minutes. It’s one of the best spots to watch the parade of supercars and luxury vehicles arriving at the casino.
