Port Hercules
Port Hercule
A deep-water harbour packed with superyachts, with the F1 circuit running along it. Stroll the quayside to admire the yachts, or take a solar-powered ferry across the water.
Port Hercule is Monaco’s only deep-water harbour, nestled between the rock-top old town and Monte Carlo. In summer, it fills with superyachts from around the world, and the Monaco Yacht Show is held in late September. The waterfront promenade forms part of the F1 circuit, and the harbour straight and the Piscine corner are both here. Small solar-powered ferries cross the harbour basin for just a few euros, saving you a climb. In summer, the Prince Rainier III outdoor pool is open, and in winter it turns into an ice rink. Bars and restaurants line the quayside. It is about a 10-minute walk from Monaco-Monte-Carlo station.
