This week, NEWS.MC TV brings you the latest updates from Monaco, starting with a remarkable milestone in the Principality’s luxury property market. Monaco real estate reached record-breaking heights in 2024, with soaring prices and unprecedented transactions solidifying its status as one of the world’s most sought-after destinations for high-net-worth individuals.
In a major boost for regional transport, Monaco has backed enhanced rail links with the launch of the Zou! service. The new initiative provides a train every 15 minutes between Cannes, Nice, and Menton, with extended weekend services running until 2 AM, significantly improving connectivity for commuters and visitors alike.
Over in Port Hercule, the fifth edition of the Port Hercule Regatta on February 16 saw 250 rowers from 18 regional and international clubs competing in Monaco’s waters. Spanish, Italian, and British teams were among those participating in the Eurometre Challenge, highlighting Monaco’s growing presence in the world of competitive rowing.
On the diplomatic front, Monaco has strengthened ties with Montenegro, following an official visit led by Thomas Brezzo, President of Monaco’s National Council. From February 17 to 19, the delegation engaged in high-level discussions aimed at reinforcing interparliamentary relations between the two small European states.
Culture took centre stage at the Monte-Carlo Opera, where Richard Wagner’s The Rhinegold captivated audiences at the Salle Garnier. With four performances scheduled between February 19 and 25, the production has drawn opera lovers into the mythical world of the Rhine, delivering a grand spectacle of music and drama.
One year after its inauguration, the Beausoleil motorway slip road has proven to be a game-changer for Monaco’s traffic flow. Opened in January 2024, the slip road has significantly reduced congestion at the main entry points to the Principality, easing daily commutes for residents and visitors.
Monaco’s reputation as a global sports hub was further cemented this week as the Principality was officially named World Capital of Sport 2025. His Serene Highness Prince Albert II presided over a signing ceremony at the Prince’s Palace on February 18, marking an exciting year ahead for sporting events and initiatives.
However, the mood was bittersweet for AS Monaco, who faced Champions League elimination after a gripping playoff against Benfica on February 18. Despite an intense 3-3 draw in Lisbon, Monaco fell short on aggregate, ending their European campaign in heartbreaking fashion.
