The Monaco Grand Prix isn’t just a Formula 1 race—it’s a landmark occasion. From the tight corners of Monte Carlo to the trackside yachts, it’s one of the most immersive race weekends on the calendar. Here's how to plan it right.
Lock in Your Accommodation Early
Monaco is compact, and hotel rooms sell out quickly—often months in advance. If staying in the city is out of budget or unavailable, nearby towns like Nice, Menton, or even Ventimiglia in Italy offer rail access and shorter minimum stays.
Pick Your Viewing Style
You can watch the Monaco GP from grandstands, hospitality suites, balconies, or boats. Grandstand tickets are the most common option, but many fans opt for general admission zones with city views and more flexibility.
Travel Light and Plan Ahead
Monaco gets crowded. Expect limited mobility, bag checks, and tightly timed public transport. Wear comfortable shoes, bring only what you need, and give yourself extra time before and after the race.
Extend the Weekend
The race is just part of the experience. Use the rest of the weekend to explore Monte Carlo’s cafés, beaches, and casinos—or catch qualifying sessions, pit lane walks, and after-parties that run long into the night.
