De beste winkelcentra van Monaco

If you’re bound for Monaco in search of bargains, I’m going to have to disappoint you. True, there are a few ‘affordable’ shops in the Condamine/Port district. But key Monaco shops (mostly in Monte-Carlo’s Cercle d’Or district around Place du Casino ) kleden, verfraaien en anderszins verfraaien de duurste lichamen op de planeet.

Here is a preview of the shopping centers in Monaco:

Luxury Monaco Shopping Centers

The One Monte-Carlo shopping promenade is made up of five futuristic, rounded buildings filled with haute-couture designer shops (think Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton and the like). Even more big-ticket boutiques can be found on Avenue de Monte-Carlo .

Meanwhile, slightly more modest budgets might move across the Casino Square gardens to the Métropole Shopping Center . Take the escalators, just to the left of the entrance to Hotel Metropole , then head down into this glam shopping center, which houses a few cafes and 80 shops on 4 floors.

Budget Monaco Shopping Centers

Across the other side of the principality, by the Fontvieille district, the Fontvieille Commercial Centre is much minder glamoureus maar veel betaalbaarder. Het herbergt een gigantische Carrefour-supermarkt en andere winkels die mensen echt nodig hebben. Het is ook de thuisbasis van verschillende betaalbare fastfoodrestaurants, sommige met zitplaatsen buiten (maar geen van die zouden we aanbevelen).

But the most picturesque shopping is at the daily morning Condamine Market (in Place d’Armes ). It’s a proper Provencal farmer’s market, and center of Monégasque life. If you don’t actually want to buy any fruit and veg, take a seat at one of the cafés in the square and watch normal Mediterranean life pass by…
