A self guided audio tour of Monaco.
Monaco is smaller than you imagine and denser than seems possible. A steep hillside drops to a harbour packed with boats, and the streets between climb and wind past old stone and polished glass in equal measure. There is genuine beauty here alongside the glitter, especially in the older quarter and the long views out over the Mediterranean.
In the app, 55 stops in Monaco are narrated aloud, about 1h 34m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 100 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
