Monaco Grand Prix

Few race tracks in the world have the glamour and prestige of world famous Grand Prix de Monaco, one of the most important stages of the Formula One season. The circuit de Monaco uses Monte Carlo’s city streets and La Condamine, which includes the famous harbour, and seeing the cars scream round the city, navigating the tight hairpins and passing the luxurious yachts at harbour is an experience racing enthusiasts will cherish. The tight corners and narrow roads make the Monaco Grand Prix one of the most enthralling races in the Formula One calendar, with more action than most other Grand Prix races and a sense of drama that is sometimes not found with other races, even though overtaking is nigh on impossible. To have a chance to see this world-famous race that will live long in the memory, planning is key. Pretty much everything needs to be reserved, while most Formula One fans stay in Nice, Cannes or Menton as these are usually cheaper and not fully booked a year in advance.
A trip to the Monaco Grand Prix is really a taste of the high life. The wealthy watch from the Hotel Hermitage, while the super rich watch from their yachts—and then there’s the Grimaldis, who see the race start and finish from the Royal Box. Although a pricey endeavour, a rooftop party where you can watch all the action below is an amazing way to see the Grand Prix, but be prepared to flash the cash or call in a favour from friends in very high places indeed.
