The Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix: Things To Do!

Beyond the Track: The Best Things to Do in Monaco During Grand Prix Weekend

Each year, Monaco transforms into the most glamorous destination in global sport as Formula 1 arrives for the legendary Monaco Grand Prix. The narrow streets of Monte Carlo become one of the most iconic circuits in motorsport, where drivers tackle tight corners, harbourfront straights and famous sections such as the swimming pool complex.

But the Monaco Grand Prix is about far more than just the racing. Across the Principality, the entire city comes alive with luxury experiences, spectacular views, fine dining and unforgettable nightlife. From superyachts lining the harbour to world famous casinos and historic landmarks, there is no shortage of incredible things to do while the Grand Prix is in town.

If you are visiting during race weekend, here are some of the best ways to experience Monaco alongside the on track action.

Watch the Race from the Harbour Aboard the Pegasus Lounge Yacht

One of the most iconic Monaco Grand Prix experiences is watching the race from the harbour surrounded by some of the world’s most spectacular superyachts.

With Corinthian Sports, guests can enjoy the race from the exclusive Pegasus Lounge yacht, a luxury tri deck vessel positioned in a prime harbour location overlooking the famous Tabac corner, one of the fastest sections of the circuit.

From the deck of the yacht, guests can watch the cars flash past while enjoying a full VIP hospitality experience. Gourmet catering, a complimentary bar including Champagne, and live DJs create a vibrant atmosphere throughout the day. Private tender transfers allow guests to arrive and depart in true Monaco style.

It is one of the most immersive ways to experience the Monaco Grand Prix, combining world class motorsport with the glamour and energy that the harbour is famous for during race week.

Experience the Action at Casino Square from the Hotel de Paris

For those who want to be right at the heart of Monaco during the race, few locations rival the legendary Hotel de Paris, situated directly on the famous Casino Square.

Through Corinthian Sports, guests can enjoy an exclusive hospitality experience inside the hotel’s luxurious surroundings with access to a private viewing terrace overlooking the circuit. From here, you can watch the cars race past the Casino before they descend down the hill towards the harbour.

Alongside the spectacular views, guests enjoy a full day of premium hospitality including pastries on arrival, gourmet buffet dining and a complimentary bar featuring Champagne, wines, spirits and soft drinks.

With the glamorous Monte Carlo Casino just steps away and luxury cars filling the square throughout the weekend, it is one of the most iconic settings anywhere on the Formula 1 calendar.

Discover Monaco’s Historic Old Town

Away from the crowds of the circuit, Monaco’s historic old town known as Monaco Ville offers a completely different atmosphere.

Perched on a rocky promontory above the Mediterranean, the area is home to charming narrow streets, historic architecture and some of the most impressive viewpoints in the Principality. Visitors can explore the Prince’s Palace, wander through colourful squares and enjoy panoramic views across Port Hercule and the Grand Prix circuit below.

During race weekend it provides the perfect escape from the busy harbour while still offering spectacular views across the city.

Visit the Oceanographic Museum

One of Monaco’s most impressive cultural landmarks, the Oceanographic Museum sits dramatically on the cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Founded by Prince Albert I, the museum combines marine science with spectacular aquariums filled with coral reefs, tropical fish and sharks. Inside the historic building visitors can explore fascinating exhibitions dedicated to ocean exploration and conservation while also enjoying breathtaking views across the coastline.

It is a fascinating place to spend a morning before the excitement of the day’s racing begins.

Explore the Famous Monaco Grand Prix Circuit

One of the most unique aspects of the Monaco Grand Prix is that the track is made up of everyday city streets. When racing sessions are not taking place, visitors can walk sections of the circuit and see some of the most famous corners in motorsport.

Fans can follow the route from Sainte Devote up the hill towards Casino Square before heading down to the harbour and through the legendary tunnel.

Seeing these locations in person offers a real appreciation for the skill required by Formula 1 drivers to navigate the tight streets of Monaco at incredible speeds.

Experience Monaco’s Nightlife at the Café Milano Party

When the racing finishes, Monaco’s nightlife becomes just as exciting as the action on track.

One of the highlights of the weekend is the Café Milano party located in the heart of the port area close to the circuit. Guests attending with Corinthian Sports can enjoy exclusive access to this vibrant evening event featuring live entertainment, music, a three course dinner and a complimentary bar.

With views across the harbour and the lights of the yachts reflecting on the water, the atmosphere perfectly captures the glamour and energy that Monaco is famous for during Grand Prix weekend.

Soak Up the Atmosphere Around Port Hercule

Even without a ticket to the race itself, simply walking around Port Hercule during Grand Prix weekend is an unforgettable experience.

The harbour becomes the social heart of Monaco as luxury yachts line the waterfront and visitors gather along the promenade to watch the action unfold on the surrounding streets.

The sound of Formula 1 engines echoing through the harbour combined with the electric atmosphere of race week creates a truly unique setting that cannot be found anywhere else on the Formula 1 calendar.
