Monte Carlo Travel Guide

Monte Carlo Nightlife

A good place to get into the swing of things is Le Bar Américain where the upper-crust mingle and socialise with their Champagne and cocktails in hand, while a jazz trio belts out some upbeat tunes to get you in the mood. But on a perfect warm summer''s evening there''s no better place to watch the sun go down that at the hip and trendy Sea Lounge where party people meet over a cocktail or two by the water''s edge in Monte Carlo Beach. The Living Room and the Legend, both located on avenue des Speluges, are popular nightclubs where anyone wanting to get their groove on can dance the night away, while lively bars like the Chip and Castle or Black Diamond are more upmarket and many come here to pose and be seen. Jimmy''z on avenue Princesse Grace is place to go where you can don your favourite party outfit, slip into those killer heels and dance the night away with Monte-Carlo''s beautiful people.

If live music is what you''re after, visit Moods on place du Casino, which has already attracted some big international acts while Sass Café is another hot spot for live music, lots of dancing and a rip roaring good time. Or if jazz is more your thing, head to the Blue Note to get your groove on! For a quieter and more sophisticated night out, the Grand Théâtre de Monte Carlo is the place to go to see international ballets and other productions as well as the Ballets de Monte Carlo. Mention the resident opera company, and the symphony, while the Monte Carlo Opera also draws hundreds of visitors to its world-class performances.
