FAQ's
Where is the best place to sit to see the most action?
Grandstand K is widely considered the best spot for spectators as it offers views of the inner harbor and the high-speed section from Tabac to the Swimming Pool. Another popular choice is Grandstand B which faces the Casino Square and provides a close-up look at the cars navigating the technical turns. If you prefer to see overtaking attempts the Sainte-Devote corner at Grandstand A is the most likely spot for incidents.
Can I walk on the track after the race has finished?
Yes, one of the most beloved traditions in Monaco is the track invasion after the podium ceremony on Sunday afternoon. Once the marshals give the all-clear signal the gates are opened to the public allowing fans to walk the asphalt and see the tire marks. It is a fantastic opportunity to take photos at famous corners like the Hairpin or the Tunnel without any traffic.
Is there a dress code for attending the Grand Prix?
For general grandstands and standing areas there is no formal dress code and comfortable clothing with walking shoes is highly recommended. However if you are accessing VIP areas the Paddock Club or private yacht parties a smart-casual or elegant dress code is strictly enforced.

How do I get around Monaco when the track is closed?

There are specific pedestrian bridges and tunnels designated for ticket holders to cross the track at certain intervals between racing sessions.
