Christmas in Monaco 2013

Traditional events, parties and activities.

Our handy list of Christmas events taking place in Monte Carlo and Monaco from now up to the big day. There's plenty of entertainment with concerts of traditional music, festive parties and the annual Christmas market.

If you're looking for ideas for gifts, we've come across at least three with a Monaco theme. The Printemps des Arts spring music festival has published a collectors' book with over 200 photos and some music CDs to mark its 30th anniversary next year. Orders received by phone on +377 93 25 58 04, before 13th December make a saving of 15 euros on the full price of 75 euros. For something less cerebral, Brasserie de Monaco has put together a gift box priced 30 euros, containing a litre collectors' bottle of beer and two glass tankards with the Brasserie's logo. There's a limited number available and you can buy yours by asking at the bar. Finally, for a tasty treat, there's always Monte Carlo SBM's 150th anniversary Christmas yule log, available at the Hermitage Hotel.
