Monaco Tribune has compiled a list of the key events you shouldn’t miss in the Principality this month, as well as some ideas for outings.
The funfair
The fair is back at Port Hercule this year with two new attractions: the King Tower (a 130 kph drop tower that rotates around an axis, taking you up to 45 metres above ground level) and the Jump Zone trampoline course. Play Ball is also making a comeback along with the classic Extazy, Mega Dancer, Combat Spatial, and Jumping Frog… If you need waffles, brioches, crêpes, socca or hot dogs to steady your nerves, head over to the Quai Albert Ier.
