The problem is that a lot of the walking is uphill and, because of the winding nature of the streets, there are few straight routes. Whichever mode of transportation you decide on, personal safety shouldn't be among your concerns. Street crime is practically non-existent in Monaco, which has had only two homicides in the past 22 years.
