Plan a cultural day around your interests.
Start with one anchor experience, perhaps a museum, concert, guided visit or garden, then explore nearby streets and viewpoints at your own pace. Monaco is compact but includes steep changes in elevation, so allow for walking routes, public lifts and transport.
For exhibitions, performances and seasonal attractions, check official schedules and reserve in advance when required. Public holidays, private events and maintenance can affect access.
