A ticket and no ticket
are different weekends.

1. 01
   Breakfast away from the circuit

   The harbour side wakes up early on qualifying day. Eat before the streets fill.

2. 02
   Walk the lower circuit while it is open

   Follow the harbour stretch on foot and see the barriers from the outside before anything runs.

3. 03
   Time to be announcedSprint

   Saturday’s Sprint is the first Formula 1 race of the weekend. Get to your seat before the start.

4. 04
   Make time for a meal

   Fit a meal around the Sprint and qualifying once the exact times are announced.

5. 05
   Time to be announcedGrand Prix Qualifying (Q1, Q2, Q3)

   Be in position well before the pit lane opens. This is the session that decides the race here.

6. 06
   Stay put for the dispersal

   Everyone leaves at once and the exits are narrow. Half an hour in a bar beats half an hour in a queue.

Crossing points are edition-specific and are not published for 2027 — do not plan on crossing the circuit at a particular place.

1. 01
   Eat properly, early

   Once you are in, your options narrow to whatever is inside.

2. 02
   Into position before the support races

   The support programme fills the morning and the crowd builds through it.

3. 03
   Time to be announcedMonaco Grand Prix (78 laps · 120 minutes maximum)

   The race. Grid position matters more here than almost anywhere, so the start is worth being early for.

4. 04
   Wait out the dispersal deliberately

   The whole principality leaves at once. Pick somewhere to be for an hour rather than joining it.

5. 05
   Evening on foot

   Nothing that needs a road, a taxi or a timetable.

Road closures and reopening times are not published for 2027.

1. 01
   Get above the circuit

   The ground rises steeply behind the town; the higher ground is where the view is free and legal.

2. 02
   Find a screen and a seat by mid-morning

   Without a grandstand seat the useful plan is somewhere with a view of a screen and space to stand.

3. 03
   Time to be announcedMonaco Grand Prix (78 laps · 120 minutes maximum)

   The race. Expect to be standing, and expect the good spots to have gone early.

4. 04
   Do not go straight to the station

   The post-race platform is the single worst place to be. Let it clear.

5. 05
   Later train back along the coast

   Check the last departure for the day before you travel; race-week services are not published for 2027.

Special race-week rail services and last departures are not published for 2027.

A general-admission view is not guaranteed anywhere — nothing on this page promises one.

1. 01
   Walk the districts before the first session

   The Rock, the port and the casino terrace are all walkable, with the public lifts doing the climbing.

2. 02
   Time to be announcedFree Practice 1

   First practice. The only F1 practice session before Sprint Qualifying.

3. 03
   Lunch, then the harbour

   Fit lunch around FP1 and Sprint Qualifying once the session times are announced.

4. 04
   Time to be announcedSprint Qualifying

   Sprint Qualifying sets the grid for Saturday’s Sprint.

5. 05
   Out before the evening

   Friday disperses far more gently than Sunday, but the trains still fill.

Ordinary-day walking routes are not a guide to what is open while the circuit is live.
