Celebrating 20 years of H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince’s reign: Practical information

The celebration of the 20th anniversary of the reign of H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince, on Saturday 19 July 2025, at the Prince’s Palace of Monaco, open to Monegasques from 6.30pm to 10.30pm, will involve changes for pedestrians, motorists and public transport.

Therefore, on 19 July, from noon, the Prince’s Palace will be cordoned off, with traffic restrictions in place until 4pm. The Rampe Major will be close from noon. Access to Monaco-Ville via the Porte Neuve is still possible, as is access to all shops located at the end of Rue Basse, Rue Comte Félix Gastaldi and Rue Emile de Loth.

From 4pm onwards, access to the Prince’s Palace will be restricted to authorised vehicles only. Pedestrian access will be limited and only permitted to those holding an access pass.

From 5.30pm to 6.30pm, all guests may approach the checkpoints (at the start of the Rampe Major and in the three streets leading to the Prince’s Palace: Rue Basse, Rue Comte Félix Gastaldi, Rue Emile de Loth) with their invitation card, Monegasque identity card or resident card for spouses of Monegasques.

To access Monaco-Ville, authorised vehicles will still be able to use Avenue de la Porte-Neuve. CAM bus services will continue to operate as usual, free of charge across the entire network on that day.

With regard to public transport and parking, the following measures have been taken:

• CAM bus services will be free of charge for anyone presenting a pass for the event (invitation card, Monegasque identity card or resident permit for spouses of Monegasques), only from 5pm to 11pm only
• In addition to the regular bus services to and from Le Rocher, there will be extra buses to and from Le Rocher
