Monaco is synonymous with luxury shopping. However, in between the shiny Chanel and Hermès shopfronts, there are a smattering of boutique shops, stocking glitzy partywear alongside floaty designer kaftans and floppy straw hats, ready for wafting around onboard a sprawling Sunseeker yacht. Here’s our guide to the finest boutique shops in Monaco.

Did you know – Culture Trip now does bookable, small-group trips? Pick from authentic, immersive Epic Trips, compact and action-packed Mini Trips and sparkling, expansive Sailing Trips.

Ciribelli

Accessories

Seeking accessories for your evening soiree? Jewellery and watch designer Ciribelli has its only store inside the exclusive Metropole shopping centre, attached to Hotel Metropole. Their customisable 18-carat gold ring – with your name set in white diamonds – is among their most popular pieces, as well as the Swiss-made watches for men. Get your credit card at the ready.

Also inside the Metropole, you’ll find luxury womenswear boutique, Eden. It’s all about understated luxury here; you’ll find Levi jeans paired with a simple wool jacket, and silk pyjamas that are too good not to be seen – with a hint of glitz. Don’t forget to throw a sparkly camisole in your shopping basket, ready to be worn with black cigarette trousers.

La Boutique de Rocher

For childrenswear, head to La Boutique de Rocher, opened by Princess Grace of Monaco in 1966. It’s very quaint – think knitted booties and cosy mini dressing gowns. It also stocks antiques, artwork, ceramics and other homeware pieces. All profits go to the Princess Grace Foundation, set up in the icon’s name to support performers in theatre, dance and film.

Maison Noir

Bow tie and tuxedo

Need a last-minute tuxedo for dinner? Menswear boutique Maison Noir hires out eveningwear of all varieties – from morning suits to a dazzling array of bow ties. The incredibly helpful staff will make sure you’re dressed to the nines before they shut up shop for the day. They also have their own collection of unisex casualwear to buy – from simple T-shirts and smart backpacks to uber-comfy tracksuits, ready for the gym.

K11 Concept Store

Fashion should be fun, right? Cue rails of frothy fur jackets, neon cardigans and sequin leggings at this eclectic boutique on Avenue de la Costa. Clashing prints are given pride of place here, as well as a touch of Monte Carlo glamour. Candles, cushions and kitchenware are among the items also on offer at K11.

Eleven Monte Carlo

Bright prints and kitsch accessories are part of the charm at this boutique on Boulevard de Moulins, among the quirkiest Monte Carlo shops. Barbie-print 1950s skirts from Alessandro Enriquez, bold-patterned kimonos from Rianna + Nina, and Borsalino hats make up the offering here. Don’t forget to pick up an Ortigia candle to take home with you.

Monte-Carlo Forever

If you’re looking for more formal attire – say, a floor-length Armani gown for a black tie gala, or a cashmere sweater for lunch at a Michelin-starred restaurant – then this Monte Carlo shop is the place to go. As soon as you step inside and see the sweeping marble staircase, you’ll know you’re in a classy joint (with price tags to match). Roberto Cavalli, Versace and Bora Aksu are among the brands available here. There’s also a decent menswear section on the top floor.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
