Last updated: August 2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are Grand Prix weekends, and then there is Monaco. For a few extraordinary days, the streets of Monte Carlo become one of the most famous racetracks in the world. Formula 1 cars race past apartment buildings, through Casino Square, around the iconic hairpin, into the tunnel and alongside a harbour filled with superyachts. It’s glamorous, historic, slightly chaotic and completely unlike attending a race at a purpose-built circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Paramount Cruises team has attended the Monaco Grand Prix<\/a> on numerous occasions, so we’ve learned a few things about navigating the Principality on race day. From getting into Monaco and finding your grandstand to choosing the right shoes for those famous hills, here’s what we’d want to know before going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is the 2027 Monaco Grand Prix?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 2027 Monaco Grand Prix is scheduled to take place from Thursday 3 to Sunday 6 June 2027<\/strong>, with the main Formula 1 Grand Prix taking place on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 2026, Monaco moved from its traditional late-May slot to the first weekend in June, giving you the perfect excuse to enjoy some early summer sunshine on the French Riviera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes the Monaco Grand Prix so special?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At most Formula 1 races, you travel from the host city to a racetrack. In Monaco, the city is the racetrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Circuit de Monaco measures just over 3.3 kilometres and squeezes 19 corners into the streets of the Principality. Drivers race past landmarks, apartment blocks, hotels and the harbour, with barriers sitting incredibly close to the cars for almost the entire lap. There’s very little room for error, which is part of what makes watching Formula 1 here so impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Monaco is about much more than what happens on the track. The yachts, harbour, packed balconies, caf\u00e9s, historic buildings and crowds filling the streets all become part of the spectacle. You’ll hear Formula 1 cars echoing between the buildings while people are having lunch just a few streets away. It’s an atmosphere you simply don’t get at a conventional circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Where are the best places to watch the Monaco Grand Prix?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Monaco is unusual because the view can change dramatically from one grandstand to another. For Paramount Cruises guests, Grandstands K and T<\/strong> are two of the areas you’re most likely to experience, depending on your ticket allocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandstand K<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Grandstand K sits alongside Monaco’s famous harbour and offers one of those views that immediately tells you where you are. Formula 1 cars race past with Port Hercule, yachts and the surrounding Monaco skyline creating an unmistakable backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a fantastic choice if the setting is an important part of your Monaco experience, and there’s always plenty happening around the harbour area before and after the racing. If you’d like to sit in the upper rows choose a K Gold ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandstand T<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Grandstand T is another of our favourite locations. Situated around the harbour section and opposite the pit complex, it gives you the opportunity to watch the cars on track while also catching some of the activity taking place around the Formula 1 garages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may see teams preparing for pit stops, cars entering or leaving the pits and potentially catch glimpses of drivers and team members moving around the pit area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Paramount Cruises top tip:<\/strong> Monaco isn’t the sort of circuit where we’d spend the whole day glued to our seat. Get there early enough to explore the surrounding area, visit the Fan Zone and soak up the atmosphere before settling into your grandstand for the main event.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What’s the best way to get to the Monaco Grand Prix?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Getting into Monaco on Grand Prix Sunday can require a little more planning than the size of the Principality might suggest. Road closures, enormous crowds and restricted access mean this is definitely not the weekend to rely on simply jumping in a taxi and asking to be dropped beside your grandstand. Fortunately, Paramount Cruises guests have that part taken care of.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Race-day transfers for Paramount Cruises guests<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For our 2027 Monaco Grand Prix cruise guests<\/strong>, escorted race-day coach transfers are included from Villefranche-sur-Mer<\/strong>, near Nice, where you’ll be staying aboard your Azamara ship. On arrival in Monaco, the coach parks in nearby Fontvieille<\/strong>, on the western side of the Principality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, allow around 15 to 20 minutes to walk towards Place d’Armes and La Condamine, where you’ll begin to enter the main Grand Prix atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monaco is compact, but don’t be fooled by distances on a map. The Principality is built on several levels and you’ll encounter slopes, stairs, tunnels, lifts and escalators as you move around. The good news is that Monaco’s network of public lifts and escalators can save both time and tired legs, so use them whenever you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Paramount Cruises top tip:<\/strong> Monaco might have a reputation for glamour, but Grand Prix Sunday is not the day to debut those new designer shoes. Between the walk from Fontvieille, Monaco’s hills and finding your grandstand, comfortable footwear will win every time. Save the smarter shoes for cocktails back on board.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Can you take the train to the Monaco Grand Prix?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely. If you’re travelling independently, or simply want another option while you’re on the French Riviera, the train is one of the easiest ways to reach Monaco. Monaco-Monte-Carlo railway station is right in the heart of the Principality, with regular TER services connecting Monaco with destinations along the C\u00f4te d’Azur including Nice and Villefranche-sur-Mer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In normal conditions, trains between Villefranche-sur-Mer and Monaco take around 15 minutes. During Grand Prix weekend, however, normal conditions don’t really exist. Trains can become extremely busy, particularly on Sunday morning and once large crowds begin leaving Monaco after the race. Additional services may operate during the event, but we’d always check the latest SNCF information before travelling rather than relying on schedules from a previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re planning to use the train, buying your ticket in advance is a very good idea. For Paramount Cruises<\/a> guests, we’d recommend using the included escorted coach transfer to Monaco on race day unless you’ve got a particular reason to travel independently. It removes one more logistical decision from what is already a very busy day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Download the official Monaco Grand Prix app<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The official Monaco Grand Prix app is worth downloading before race day. It includes an interactive circuit map, grandstand and entrance information, event schedules, practical information and live updates throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That interactive map is particularly useful in Monaco. Getting from A to B isn’t always as straightforward as walking in a straight line. Temporary barriers, road closures and the different levels of the city can change the route you need to take, so having an up-to-date circuit map on your phone can save a lot of wandering around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Paramount Cruises top tip:<\/strong> Download the app and familiarise yourself with the circuit before race day. Find Fontvieille, Place d’Armes and your grandstand on the map so you’ve already got a rough idea of where you’re heading when you step off the coach.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Visit the MGP Live Fan Zone at Place d’Armes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Place d’Armes is a useful landmark for Paramount Cruises guests because you’ll naturally head in that direction as you walk from Fontvieille towards the circuit. It’s also traditionally where you’ll find the MGP Live Fan Zone<\/strong> during Grand Prix weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, the free Fan Zone has featured Formula 1 driver interviews, simulators, pit-stop challenges, live music, DJs, merchandise and big-screen coverage of the track action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2027 programme will be confirmed closer to the event, so check the latest schedule before travelling if there’s something in particular you want to see. Even if you aren’t chasing a driver appearance, we’d still recommend passing through. It’s one of the easiest places to soak up the wider Grand Prix atmosphere before heading towards your grandstand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Paramount Cruises top tip:<\/strong> If you’re travelling with us, remember the name Place d’Armes<\/strong>. It’s a useful orientation point between Fontvieille and the harbour, as well as the location of the Fan Zone in recent years. If you know roughly where Place d’Armes is, everything starts to make a little more sense.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Getting around Monaco on Grand Prix weekend<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is where comfortable shoes come up yet again. Monaco might be the second-smallest country in the world, but it’s certainly not flat. There are steep streets, steps, tunnels and changes in elevation throughout the Principality. Grand Prix barriers and road closures can also mean a destination that appears extremely close on Google Maps requires a much longer route on foot. Allow more time than you think you’ll need when moving between different areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, Monaco has an extensive network of lifts, escalators and pedestrian tunnels connecting different levels of the city, and learning to use them is one of the secrets to getting around without feeling as though you’ve entered an impromptu hill-climbing competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve found your grandstand, we’d avoid repeatedly crossing Monaco unless there’s something you particularly want to see. Get your bearings, enjoy the atmosphere around your area and save some energy for exploring after the racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should you wear to the Monaco Grand Prix?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is Monaco, so we fully understand the temptation to dress for the occasion. And you absolutely should. Just don’t sacrifice your feet in the process. Smart casual clothing works perfectly well for most spectators, while lightweight fabrics are a sensible choice if the Mediterranean sun is out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat are all useful for exposed grandstands. It’s also worth checking the forecast before leaving the ship because conditions on the C\u00f4te d’Azur can change, even in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But footwear is the one area where practicality should win. You’ll walk from the coach, navigate Monaco’s hills and spend much of the day on your feet, so wear something you know is comfortable. You can still bring a touch of Monte Carlo glamour. Just perhaps keep the stilettos for the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food & Drink at the Monaco Grand Prix<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You won’t struggle to find somewhere to eat in Monaco, although prices and queues naturally increase around the busiest parts of the circuit. There are food and drink outlets around the Grand Prix itself, while La Condamine and the streets surrounding Place d’Armes have plenty of caf\u00e9s, shops and places to pick something up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to keep things simple on race day, we’d eat when you get the opportunity rather than waiting until five minutes before the Grand Prix starts. Fontvieille can also be useful for picking up food before you head further into the main circuit area. And remember, you’re going back to an Azamara ship afterwards, so you don’t necessarily need to turn Grand Prix Sunday into a Michelin-starred culinary tour of Monaco. There will be plenty of time for that another day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things to do in Monaco <\/strong>during the Grand Prix<\/strong> Weekend<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of Monaco’s biggest advantages is that the destination itself is part of the event. There isn’t a distant circuit to travel back from when the racing finishes. You’re already standing in the middle of Monte Carlo. If you’ve got some free time before or after the Grand Prix, there are several things we’d make time for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore Monaco-Ville and the Prince’s Palace<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For a completely different side of Monaco, head uphill towards Monaco-Ville<\/strong>, the historic old town often referred to simply as Le Rocher, or The Rock. You’ll find narrow streets, caf\u00e9s, shops and the Prince’s Palace of Monaco<\/strong>, along with fantastic views back across the harbour. It’s a much calmer experience away from the immediate Grand Prix crowds and a reminder that Monaco has plenty of history beyond Formula 1 and casinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See the Prince’s car collection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If three days of motorsport somehow haven’t provided enough cars, Monaco can help with that too. The Collection de Voitures de S.A.S. le Prince de Monaco<\/strong> in Port Hercule brings together an impressive collection of historic vehicles assembled by Prince Rainier III. For Formula 1 fans, it’s an easy addition to a Monaco visit and particularly useful if you’re spending more than just race day in the Principality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit Casino Square<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Casino Square is one of the most famous locations in Monte Carlo and forms part of the Formula 1 circuit itself. The Casino de Monte-Carlo, H\u00f4tel de Paris and Caf\u00e9 de Paris create the Monaco you’ve seen in films, photographs and television coverage for years. Race weekend can make the area extremely busy, but it’s still worth seeing if you’ve got time. And yes, it’s probably the moment to bring out those smarter shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Monaco and cruising work so well together<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Monaco Grand Prix has always had an unmistakable connection with the Mediterranean. Yachts line Port Hercule, the French Riviera stretches away on either side of the Principality and some of Europe’s most beautiful ports are only a short sail away. It’s one of the reasons Mediterranean cruises<\/a> and the Monaco Grand Prix work so naturally together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of trying to find a hotel room in or around an incredibly busy Monte Carlo, your cruise ship becomes your home for the trip. You can spend race day surrounded by the noise and excitement of Formula 1 before returning to the comfort of the ship that evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Paramount Cruises, our Monaco Grand Prix cruise packages<\/a><\/strong> combine a luxury Azamara voyage with race-day grandstand tickets, flights and escorted transfers between Villefranche-sur-Mer and Monaco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day you’re watching Formula 1 cars race alongside the superyachts of Port Hercule. The next, you’re back aboard your ship exploring the Mediterranean. It’s difficult to imagine a more appropriate way to experience the most glamorous race on the calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
