Full Story:
Monaco’s Prince Albert II, accompanied by Minister of State Pierre Dartout, has inaugurated the new Les Salines parking lot at the entrance of Monaco’s Jardin Exotique. The parking facility boasts 1,800 spots, including 100 for electric cars, along with spaces for motorcycles and a bus station. The impressive structure, entirely carved into the rock, features multiple levels and clear signage indicating available parking spaces. Prince Albert II explored the parking lot, including the car wash area and the dual ramp that provides direct access to the exit and other floors. Additionally, he visited the Des Salines gallery, which provides a direct route to the nearby cemetery. Soon, the Wurtemberg pedestrian walkway will open, leading to Fontvieille. The parking lot, which cost €208 million and took seven years to construct, will benefit commuters, tourists, and visitors to Monaco. Its convenient location offers easy access to public transportation, including two new bus lines, X1 and X2, that connect to Monte-Carlo Tourisme and Place d’Armes. The parking facility is expected to reduce traffic by 4,000 cars in the principality. Monthly passes are offered at a reduced rate of €51, providing free bus service, while visitors can enjoy ten free bus rides by presenting their parking ticket from Les Salines. Overall, the new parking lot serves as an important infrastructure development for Monaco, promoting convenience, reducing congestion, and facilitating transportation options for residents and visitors alike.
