The circuit: F1’s most famous street race runs straight through Monte Carlo.
The vibe: Glamour, yachts, tight turns, and serious camera roll potential.
Top Areas to Stay:
- Monte Carlo: Closest to everything—but books out fast.
- Beausoleil: Just above Monaco, walkable and more reasonably priced.
- Nice: Your best base for affordability, with regular trains (20–30 mins).
Things to Do Beyond Racing:
- Stroll the Monaco harbour and spot the superyachts.
- Visit the Prince’s Palace or the Oceanographic Museum.
- Take the train to Èze for a hilltop village lunch with epic views.
- Swim off Larvotto Beach before the qualifying session.
