September in Monaco 2025 – Events & Experiences Beyond the Yacht Show

September in Monaco offers far more than the glamour of the Yacht Show. As summer eases into autumn, the Principality shines with culture, gastronomy, and Riviera lifestyle. Here are the top events and experiences you won’t want to miss.

Staying at Villa Monaco, you can enjoy the serenity of a private retreat while being close to all the action.

Concerts & Performances

Monaco’s cultural venues come alive in September. The Opéra de Monte-Carlo and the historic Salle Garnier host intimate concerts ranging from classical music to jazz. Outdoor venues by the port and Larvotto Beach also feature live performances, often paired with dining and cocktails under the stars.

Art & Exhibitions

The Grimaldi Forum is a must-visit for art lovers. Its September exhibitions often bring together world-class collections and contemporary artists. Wandering through the galleries provides a cultural counterpoint to the nautical excitement happening by the harbour.

Dining by the Sea

September marks the end of summer harvests. Local restaurants and Michelin-starred chefs highlight fresh figs, late-summer seafood, and the Riviera’s famous citrus fruits. Dining outdoors is still a pleasure, with warm evenings perfect for terraces and beach clubs.

Coastal Escapes

Beyond Monaco, charming destinations like Èze, Cap-Ferrat, and Menton are at their best in September. With fewer visitors than in July and August, you can enjoy cliffside walks, historic gardens, and coastal villages in peace.
