A journey through Jannik Sinner's Monte Carlo neighborhood.

Not a glass skyscraper, not even an apartment in the new, futuristic Mareterra complex designed by Renzo Piano, among others. Jannik Sinner, who lives in Monte Carlo between tournaments and trips to his Val Pusteria , has chosen one of the more traditional and less visible neighborhoods to live in.
Jannik Sinner lives in the Condamine neighborhood, behind Port Hercules, the real historic center of the city, famous for its market and shops where Monegasques, ordinary people and not super-rich residents, go to do the shopping, to spend their lunch break with a Niçoise or a pan bagnat and to eat an ice cream, perhaps at Dipiù, the favorite ice cream shop of Jan and his new girlfriend Laila Hasanovic , while taking a stroll through the historic streets of the Principality of Monaco.
La Condamine, the Monegasque district of JanLa Condamine is an iconic neighborhood in the Principality of Monaco , easily recognizable by its ochre roofs, colorful squares, and market stalls selling fruit, vegetables, and flowers. La Condamine is home to many places steeped in history. Here are some recommended stops for discovering the neighborhood and perhaps even meeting the world's number one tennis player.
The marketTo truly experience Monaco and its people, you need to visit the market that stretches across the Place d'Armes . This large esplanade is filled every morning with stalls serving Monegasque, Southern Italian, and even Asian specialties, surrounded by shaded arcades where you can enjoy a coffee and a bite to eat while reading the paper. Jan doesn't like to show off too much and, as in everything he does, always maintains a low profile. That's why he chose this area of Monaco rather than the marble palaces with imposing marble gatehouses and Arabian Nights-like crystal chandeliers that radiate opulence everywhere.
Princesse Caroline StreetAfter the first stop, continue your stroll toward Rue Princesse Caroline, which is still part of the market's pedestrian zone, ideal for strolling, eating, shopping, or playing with the children in the little square. With its brightly colored facades and rows of orange trees lining both sides, Monegasque municipal officials are responsible for picking the fruit when the season arrives. Far from being thrown away, the harvested oranges, called bigarade , are used to make a bitter liqueur. A delicious and very Monegasque recipe. And, since we're talking about Monegasque icons, who is the street named after? Princess Caroline of Monaco , of course, the eldest of siblings Albert and Stéphanie, a very beautiful and elegant woman, just like this street. Rue Princesse Caroline is one of the most picturesque streets in Monte Carlo.
Port HerculeAt the end of this road, you'll find Port Hercule, the Principality's main port—the other is in Fontvieille, a neighborhood located behind the Rock and the Prince's Palace—which was originally a natural bay. Today, the world's most beautiful (and largest) yachts are moored there. The large esplanade hosts world-famous events every year, such as the Monte-Carlo International Yacht Show (Jumping International) and the Monaco Yacht Show (September 24-27, 2025), as well as the summer and autumn fairs and the Christmas village in winter. The Rainier III nautical stadium and its heated seawater swimming pool are also located here. The Condamine promenade is also part of the district, popular with tourists and Monegasques for a gastronomic break in one of the many restaurants and bars overlooking the sea. During the Formula 1 Grand Prix , this area transforms into an open-air party zone.
The Formula One circuitBetween Princesse Caroline and the port is one of Monaco's main roads, which, during the GP, transforms into the legendary Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit. The red and white speed bumps line the roadside. Don't miss the legendary Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit. The red and white speed bumps, which help drivers understand the track limits during the race, are easily recognizable because they remain there all year round. You can put yourself in the drivers' shoes by taking a seat on the starting grid, located next to the Casino supermarket, and admire the legendary Chicane and La Rascasse .
The Prince Albert II of Monaco Car MuseumSince 2022, the Collection de Voitures de SAS le Prince de Monaco, a true car museum previously located in Fontvieille, has been moved to this neighborhood. It will allow you to relive the highlights of the Grimaldi family's history, with unique pieces such as the Chrysler that Prince Rainier III had specially shipped from the United States to collect Princess Grace from the port, and the Lexus with the glass-back cockpit, built for the royal wedding of HSH Prince Albert II and HSH Princess Charlene in 2011.
