School Holidays

Expect increases in tourism during all of the school holidays. Expect the beaches to be much busier with plenty of children and teenagers crowding the beach and markets during these dates.

Monaco School Holidays

Here is the official school schedule calendar from the Monaco government.

In Monaco, during school vacations, many Monaco residents leave to vacation at other destinations along the French Riviera or elsewhere around the world. Monaco fills up, instead, with tourists from France.
