The most popular shopping destination remains the area with the spectacular name Golden Circle. It was formed around Casino Square and covers part of the nearby streets; in addition to gambling establishments, there are a number of popular brand boutiques. Those who appreciate branded items should go shopping here; the Dior brand store is located here, as well as a Gucci boutique. The cost of the goods presented here is quite high, but this is fully compensated by the high quality and exclusivity of the goods.
If the luxury shops presented here are not enough, you can go for a walk along Larvotto Beach. Near the coast there are chic designer shops where you can buy ready-made items and order the sewing of necessary wardrobe items. The prices in these stores are very high, so many tourists come here just to admire the shining windows. In the stores presented here you can buy not only fashionable designer items, but also chic accessories, for example, an original handbag worth several thousand dollars.
There are several large shopping centers in Monte Carlo; one of the largest and most expensive is the Galaxie de Metropole shopping complex. It features more than 80 boutiques, and in many ways they are also aimed at wealthy travelers. You can go here in search of a chic evening dress, an elegant designer suit, exclusive shoes and bags, and the shopping center also houses several excellent jewelry stores.
The Fontvieille Shopping Center has more affordable prices. Due to the lack of outlets in Monte Carlo, it is the most attractive shopping destination for budget tourists. This shopping complex features boutiques and stores of famous European brands, which are distinguished by affordable prices. Here you can buy interesting souvenirs, sportswear and paraphernalia, inexpensive perfumes and household goods. The shopping center hosts sales every season, during which time many items can be purchased at a significant discount.
Elite jewelry salons remain another attractive feature of Monte Carlo; Fred Boutique is considered one of the best and most famous. Even representatives of the royal family buy jewelry in this store, which is known far beyond the city limits. Obviously, the prices here are more than impressive, but all the jewelry is unique from a design point of view. This jewelry store sells only the most spectacular designer accessories and the most beautiful gems.
Representatives of the fair sex who do not expect to spend fabulous sums on new jewelry should look into the popular jewelry store Bijoux Cassio. All the jewelry presented here is also of very high quality; some of them can only be distinguished from luxury jewelry by a professional jeweler. The cost of jewelry here is very attractive; fashionistas will have the opportunity to purchase exact copies of some jewelry presented in the most luxurious and expensive jewelry stores in Monte Carlo.
For original souvenirs, city guests should head to the Condamine market. They sell very interesting handmade crafts; among the products on display you can find many luxurious items that will become a true decoration for any home.
Another notable historical store is Boutique du Rocher, where you can buy luxurious souvenirs. The founder of this boutique is Princess Grace; it opened in the 60s. Today it sells incredibly beautiful ceramics, chic photo frames and various home decorations. The price of souvenirs in this store remains at the most attractive level, and all proceeds from sales have been going to local charities for more than 50 years. Fans of exclusive items will be pleased to know that all the souvenirs presented here are made only by hand.
