A narrow lane opens onto a balustraded overlook and the Mediterranean pushes against the quay — that’s the first view many get on a private walking tour of Monaco. The route climbs from the Prince’s Palace plaza through the compact streets of Monaco-Ville, pauses under the Romanesque towers of Saint Nicholas Cathedral, and threads past photo frames that force your camera to choose between glittering yachts and terracotta rooftops.
