Monte Carlo is certainly no budget shopping destination, but there are plenty of places to melt the credit card alongside Europe's high rollers. The chicest clothes shops are in the ‘Golden Circle', framed by avenue Monte Carlo, avenue des Beaux-Arts and allees Lumieres, where
Hermes,
Christian Dior,
Gucci and
Prada all have a presence. The area on and around place du Casino is home to high end jewellers such as
Bulgari,
Cartier and
Chopard.
For souvenirs, the tourist orientated shops that inhabit the winding old streets of Monaco-Ville are the place to head. The Condamine area is home to around 200 shops, while the Fontvieille Shopping Center is a more ‘normal' shopping experience with 36 shops selling electronic goods, CDs, furniture, and clothes. The tourist office also issues a useful free shopping guide to the city.
