From La Turbie: The Easiest Option
The easiest way to get to the Tete de Chien viewpoint is from La Turbie. Although you may only be interested in getting to the best view of Monaco, I guarantee that taking a stop in La Turbie will be a highlight of your trip, as well. From the center of La Turbie, you only have to walk about 20-30 minutes on a verygradual uphill to get to the Tete de Chien. It’s a 1.7 km walk each way and you get to see amazing views of Eze and the whole coastline on the way. If you’d like to get to La Turbie...
How to Get to Tete de Chien From the Principality of Monaco
Although you’re looking straight down into Monaco from the viewpoint, you can’t actually start the hike in Monaco! The start of the hike is quite a bit away from the main tourist spots of Monaco. On our trip to Monaco, we had the Tete de Chien on our itinerary before actually realizing how far away it was. If you are staying in Monaco or even just visiting, I don’t think a trip to Monaco would be complete without seeing this view from above! Choose to visit La Turbie and then walk just 30 min...

If you are looking for a workout and a challenge, then this hike is for you! Instead of an easy 30-minute stroll to the viewpoint, you will be starting the hike in Cap d’Ail and heading straight up to the viewpoint.

The only issue would be the exposure to the sun, so make sure to wear sunscreen and bring water! From Cap d’Ail, the hike will be much more difficult. You gain over 500 feet of elevation and the hike is a bit s...
As always on the French Riviera, you will be hard-pressed to find a bad time to visit the Tete de Chien. However, I recommend checking the weather ahead of time making sure it’s a clear day and not hazy. If it is hazy, wait until just afternoon to visit when some of the haze may have burned off or be less visible because of the sunlight hitting the...
Obviously, this viewpoint is most famous for the ability to look straight down into Monaco (it seriously feels like you’re paragliding over the country!) but there are a few other places visible from this area! On the walk from La Turbie, you can look to your right and spot the medieval village of Eze perched on top of a hill! After you pass throug...
