Parking in Monaco?
Discussion
Anybody driven to Monaco over the past couple of years?
Just wondering what the parking is like?
Extortionate prices?
Easy to find a space?
A genuine place to stop and look around or really just a place to pass through and not get caught up with all the pompus disregard for money? (tounge in cheek)
(I'm going for a euro-drive along the mediterrainian coast this summertime)

Never driven in but have got the train into their a couple of times.
The train station was so clean you could eat your dinner off the floor! If you stay away from the Harbour/Palace and find some backstreets you can get a decent meal and a beer for reasonable amount.
A day visit is probably all you will need but it's worth going to, fireworks over the habour are quite impressive!
We used to have family holidays in Ste Maxime so used to vist St Tropez, Monaco etc.

was there about 5 years ago, I dont recall any parking issue which probably means it wanst a great hassle. We were ther about a week before the GP and they were putting barriers up everywhere. Its quite a neat place to people watch. Get a table outsie the cafe du paris and watch the rich folks going into the casino. Take plenty of cash though, even then it was dear for drinks
i was in monaco last summer, we parked in an underground car park
this one to be precise
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=monaco&oe=utf-...
which is just by (underneath) the prince's car collection/museum which was very good
its also by mc donalds if your really on a budget (we were)
petrol seemed to be the cheapest in monaco out of all countries we went to (france, italy, monaco, germany, luxemburg and belgium).
we assumed it would be more expensive in monaco, so filled up £70 in france just before entering, i think the price was just under a euro a litre at the time
cant remember what the parking cost, but it wasnt too bad

Op,youre not going on the weirys rally by any chance?
No.Just going for a big 3-week euro-tour.
My uncle has a place on the south of Spain and my route will be from England - Portsmouth to Le Havre...driving down the west coast of France through La Rochelle towards the Pyrenees and then down through Spain to the Medeterrainian. A few days stay on the beaches etc. and then driving along the coastal roads through bottom end of France to Monaco.
Then up through top end of Italy and over the alps into Austria and then Germany to Munich. Then upto the Nurburgring for a few days and then back home via Calais.
Previously been to Germany many times, but bottom end of France will be new.
