Explore Mareterra during ‘Nature Weekend’

Monaco’s new neighbourhood welcomes the public this weekend as residents are encouraged to explore its green spaces for free.

The third edition of ‘Nature Weekend’ will once again take place in Mareterra on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 October. Organised by the Gardens section of the Urban Planning Department, the initiative turns the Principality’s eco-neighbourhood into a veritable botanical hunting ground.

The 2025 theme, ‘Explorer’, is about discovering, helping the public to understand the mechanisms behind the neighbourhood’s landscape design. Visitors will be able to discover the secrets behind the development of this urban space, designed according to strict criteria of environmental sustainability and preservation of Mediterranean biodiversity.
