Monaco Grand Prix 2026 - F1 Monte Carlo

A tradition of almost 100 years, the next edition of the Monaco F1 Grand Prix takes place between 4-7 June 2026, bringing the Principality’s 38,000 residents 4 days of magic or mayhem, depending on whether you love the sport and watch glued to the circuit from your terrace, or you flee the streets of Monaco before the invasion.

The first Monaco Grand Prix took place in 1929 and was organised by a wealthy tobacco manufacturer and salesman, Antony Noghes, who had set up the Automobiles Club de Monaco with some of his friends. The last corner before the start/finish line is named after him and is very popular with spectators. He also suggested the international adoption of the checkered flag to end races.

It is allegedly the most technically demanding race and the ultimate test of driving skills; by the finish line, a driver will have made almost 5,000 gear changes.

With a total distance of two miles, the Monaco Grand Prix has the shortest lap distance of all Formula One races. F1 race length is defined as the smallest number of complete laps that exceeds 305 kilometres, but Monaco Grand Prix is the sole exception with a race length of 260.5 km. However, it also requires the most laps out of any circuit to complete the race – 78 laps in total.

What really makes the Monaco Grand Prix so fascinating is the sheer amount of spectators, and money, that descend on the coastal city-state for just four days of competition. In 2025, 250,000 people attended, all of them packed into an area about the size of Hyde Park, or one square mile.

Tickets for the Grand Prix are, as always, in demand, and there are numerous ways of seeing it: in the grandstands, on a private terrace with limitless champagne on tap, or from a super yacht in the harbour. All have their attractions. And once the races are over, the party really begins, with Monaco’s array of bars and restaurants, chic nightclubs including the pop-up Amber Lounge, not to mention private parties abounding.

The Formula 1 Grand Prix isn’t only about watching a race after all: it is an entire weekend experience... A stay in Monaco’s finest suite, the Diamond Suite Princesse Grace offers nearly 10,000 square feet of pure luxury on the 7th and 8th floor of the Hôtel de Paris. Multiple terraces and patios provide 180 degree views of the see and a private, heated infinity pool. It will cost you 40,000 Euros per night, but it does include a housekeeper, in-suite concierge, a tent at the Monte-Carlo Beach Club and helicopter transport to and from Nice Airport.

Wherever you will be watching it from, enjoy the ride!

The Savills team will be available during the Grand Prix week to share their knowledge of the local market.
