Summer Evenings in Monaco: the Principality at Dusk & the Fireworks Festival
Monaco from 6 PM: the Rock in the evening light, the Casino square as the lights come on, and the fireworks over the port.
Overview
On summer evenings, Monaco is at its best: the heat has gone, the Rock glows in the last light, and the Casino square fills as the lamps come on. On several evenings in July and August, the International Fireworks Festival adds a pyromusical show over Port Hercule, each one fired by a different country. This private evening with Pacôme, from 6 PM to 10 PM, walks the Principality at dusk and finds the right place for the show, away from the thickest crowds.
The evening is billed as a half day, €450 per group, with the vehicle for up to 3 guests. The fireworks dates are published by the Principality in spring; Pacôme confirms them with your request and, on evenings without fireworks, the walk at dusk and dinner on a terrace remain a beautiful end to a Riviera day.
