Monaco is getting more and more digital – and honestly, once you get used to it, it’s hard to go back.
Whether you live here year-round or you’re just visiting, a handful of apps can save you time, energy, and small unnecessary stress.
From getting around, managing daily life, discovering things, here are 7 digital tools worth having on your phone:
1. MONAPASS
If you live in Monaco, this one’s a no-brainer.
Monapass brings together pretty much everything related to getting around:
- Buy and store bus tickets and subscriptions
- Rent Monabike bicycles and check where bikes are available in real time
- Buy outdoor parking tickets directly from the app: no more parking meters. Your license plate is automatically registered, and the police can see your ticket validity.
Think: no lines, no paper & real-time info: next bus arrival, bike availability…
Everything related to moving around Monaco – in one place.
2. CITYMAPPER MONACO
The easiest way to get around the region – not just Monaco.
Citymapper shows the best itineraries depending on how you want to move:
- Walking
- Bus
- Train
- Bike
- Boat
- Tram
- Shared car
- …and yes, even helicopters!
Coverage goes from the Italian border to Nice airport.
Super handy when you don’t know whether it’s quicker to take the bus, walk, or hop on a train.
3. MOBEE
If you want a flexible alternative to public transports or taxis, then Mobee is worth downloading. It’s Monaco’s electric car-sharing service that lets you book and drive a vehicle straight from your phone whenever you need it.
Why it’s handy:
- Choose your eco-friendly electric vehicle – from small city-friendly cars to larger five-seat models you can take further afield.
- Free access to dedicated parking spaces across Monaco.
- No fixed pickup/drop-off spots: you locate, unlock, and return the car where it’s allowed in the Principality.
- Pay as you drive: perfect for occasional use without long-term commitments.
Best for:
- Running errands without needing your own car
- Short day trips around town
- Eco-friendly travel with no parking stress
Mobee makes moving around Monaco simple, flexible, and green.
4. CARLO
Carlo is Monaco’s local loyalty and cashback app.
You pay as usual in participating cafés, restaurants, shops, and services, and automatically get 5% cashback on your purchases.
There’s nothing complicated to set up, no habits to change – just an easy way to support local businesses while getting a little back each time you spend. We highly recommend it.
