Monaco set to celebrate the 30th European Heritage Days - Sunday 5 October 2025

The European Heritage Days are a unique chance to explore or rediscover Monaco’s rich cultural heritage. In keeping with the theme of this year’s 30th edition, “Architectural Heritage”, the Principality will be holding various events showcasing its diverse architecture and how it has evolved through history.

Monaco has been taking part in this pan-European event, launched jointly by the Council of Europe and the European Union, since 1996. Celebrated in more than 50 countries, the European Heritage Days see some 70,000 events attended by nearly 30 million visitors.

On Saturday 4 October, visitors can join a guided tour beyond Monaco’s borders, including a trip to Villa Eilenroc, a neoclassical villa on the Cap d’Antibes peninsula.

Then on Sunday 5 October, some 30 buildings and institutions will open their doors to the public for the day, offering rare insights into the Principality’s cultural heritage.

The day will feature a variety of activities, including guided tours of work sites, and children’s workshops at Les Studios de la Costa where younger visitors can learn all about the concepts of space and design. There will also be architectural walks, highlighting both famous landmarks and lesser-known buildings.

This year, the Department of Cultural Affairs and the Heritage Institute will be welcoming Jean-Philippe HUGRON, architectural historian, journalist, and author of Guide d’architecture Monaco : Beausoleil – Roquebrune-Cap Martin (2021). Making his first guest appearance at the event, he will be leading two walks: “Art Nouveau, Art Deco, New Modernities” and “Monaco and the Tradition of Originality”.
