Plan your Monaco Grand Prix trip

The Monaco Grand Prix is one of the most recognisable races on the Formula 1 calendar and one of the three events that make up motorsport's Triple Crown, alongside the Indianapolis 500 and the Le Mans 24 Hours. The circuit runs through the streets of Monte Carlo, with tight corners, a famous tunnel section and a stretch along the harbour front. It is narrow, unforgiving and unlike any other circuit on the calendar. Drivers who win here tend to remember it as one of the defining moments of their careers. Senna, Schumacher and Prost are among those who have won multiple times at Monaco. Beyond the racing, Monaco is a destination in its own right. The principality is small, but it is one of the more striking places on the Formula 1 calendar to spend a few days.

Where is the Monaco Grand Prix held?

The Monaco Grand Prix takes place on the Circuit de Monaco, a street circuit that runs through the streets of Monte Carlo and along the harbour in the Principality of Monaco, on the French Riviera.

Why go to the Monaco Grand Prix?

The Monaco Grand Prix is the most famous race on the Formula 1 calendar. First run in 1929, it's one of the oldest motor races in the world, and the only Grand Prix where the cars race through the streets of a working principality. The lap is the slowest on the calendar but also the most demanding, with no margin for error between the barriers, and the harbour, the casino, and the famous Hotel de Paris all within metres of the track.

What to expect over three days

The Monaco Grand Prix runs Friday to Sunday. The format is unusual: there's no Formula 1 running on Friday in Monaco, which is reserved for the Formula 2 and Formula 3 support series. Saturday is Formula 1 practice and qualifying. Sunday is the Grand Prix.

What makes the Monaco Grand Prix special?

The setting, the history, and the atmosphere. Monaco is the only Grand Prix where the cars race through a city centre that retains its full Mediterranean port-town character, with luxury yachts moored in the harbour, balconies overlooking the track, and the Casino de Monte Carlo as the focal point of the lap. The race weekend extends well beyond the circuit, with a long-running tradition of yacht parties, after-race events, and a calendar of social activity that runs across the whole Principality.
