Guide til Monaco Grand Prix 2026: Billetter, fester, opphold

The Monaco Grand Prix is four days of Formula 1, yacht parties, sold-out clubs and traffic chaos on a 2km principality. This complete 2026 guide covers what you actually need to plan a trip: dates, tickets, where to stay, how to get there, parties, yacht options, and what to do if you are travelling with non-fans. Each section links to a dedicated deep-dive.

Plan by topic

Pick the deep-dive that matches what you are deciding.

Race schedule (subject to FIA confirmation)

Sessions times are confirmed by the FIA in late spring. Verify on the official ACM calendar before booking your travel.

Tickets and grandstands

Standing tickets sell to the public directly. Premium grandstands and hospitality are mostly sold by accredited resellers (F1 Experiences, Senate GP, Motorsport Tickets, GP-Ticketshop). Verify any reseller against the ACM accredited list before paying.

Hospitality and yacht options

Three real options for premium experiences.

• Grandstand hospitality terraces (€2,500 to €6,000+ per person). Lounge access plus your grandstand seat. The corporate hospitality default.
• Yacht day pass (€890 to €4,000+ per person). Hospitality on a third-party yacht in Port Hercule. The most photogenic option. See the full yacht cost breakdown.
• Private day charter outside the harbour (€450 to €700 for the boat, half-day). The cheapest sea view of the race if you have a group of 4 to 8. See our Guide til båtutleie i Monaco.

Hvor man skal bo

Three clusters. Pick by walking distance to your priority.

• Le Meridien Beach Plaza (Avenue Princesse Grace). Same property as Amber Lounge and Sunset Monaco. 10 minutes walk to Jimmy’z, Twiga, Sass Cafe. Premium room rates during GP. The party hotel.
• Hotel de Paris / Hermitage / Metropole (Place du Casino). The historic core. Walking distance to the track at Casino square. Highest room rates. Most traditional Monaco experience.
• Monte-Carlo Bay or Riviera-Marriott. Slightly further east, more space, calmer. Better value during GP.
• Beausoleil and Cap d’Ail (backup zone). 10 to 20 minute walk into Monaco. Cheaper hotels and Airbnbs. The smart budget play.
• Nice (the rest of us). 25 minutes by train. Far more accommodation choice. Late train back from Monaco runs until around midnight. After-midnight returns require taxi (€80 to €120) or pre-booked transfer.
