What a Monaco Grand Prix trip actually costs in 2027

The 2027 Monaco Grand Prix runs Thursday 3 to Sunday 6 June, and for the first time it is a sprint weekend. A five-night trip over it costs most people between about $2,000–$16,000 a person, and more for a room inside the principality. Almost all of that spread is two decisions: where you sleep, and how you watch.

Every price on this page comes from the trip we have on sale, read live from our catalogue when you load the page. Where we quote someone else's price, we say whose it is.

The short answer

The cheapest column is a real weekend, not a stunt: a proper hotel in Nice, the three-day standing ticket on the Rocher, trains on the pass every level includes, and evenings you arrange yourself.

Where to stay: Nice, Cap d'Ail, or inside Monaco

Monaco has about 2,500 hotel rooms and a race weekend that wants far more than that. Almost everybody stays outside the principality and comes in by train. That is not a compromise: the regional trains take 20 to 25 minutes from Nice, run often all day and more often during the Grand Prix, and on race weekend they are quicker than any car. The pass for them is included at every level.

There is a cheaper level in Nice when its hotel is cheaper than the one above it. For race week this year it is not, so we do not sell it: a budget level that costs more than the good one is not a budget level.

The last row is the single most useful thing to understand about this weekend. You are paying about $22,000 more for a walk instead of a train: the gap between a good hotel in Nice and a room inside the principality, on the same trip, in the same group. Some people want exactly that. Most people are better served by Nice and the train.

Cap d'Ail is the one people have not usually heard of. It sits on the coast directly west of Monaco, the last station before Monaco-Monte-Carlo, and the coast path walks you into the principality.

How to watch the race

This is where the money goes, and where the options are worst understood.

Three things worth knowing before you choose.

The terraces are sold by the day. Friday is the cheapest day to be inside the principality and the calmest one for learning the circuit; Sunday is the race and costs the most. You can take one day, two or all three, and pick a different terrace each day.

The Rocher is a hill, not a seat. It is general admission, it is standing, and people arrive early to claim a spot. It is also the reason a Monaco weekend can cost a few thousand dollars rather than twice that, and it has a genuinely good view down onto the harbour section.

You can book every one of these yourself. The Automobile Club de Monaco sells the grandstands and the Rocher, Ticket Grand Prix sells the terraces, and Amber Lounge sells its own yacht days, all on their own websites. We never price above what they charge you there, and if you would rather book direct, book direct. We would rather say that than have you find out afterwards.

Getting there and getting around

Nice Côte d'Azur is the airport, about 30 minutes from Nice and 50 from Monaco by road. It is the second busiest in France and flies most of Europe direct.

• Train, Nice to Monaco. 20 to 25 minutes on the regional line, a few euros each way, and included in your trip at every level.
• Airport to your hotel. The tram runs to the centre of Nice, the airport has a regulated flat-fare taxi, and a private car to your hotel is an add-on at the operator's published fare, which depends on how far your hotel is. The detail is on getting there.
• Helicopter, airport to Monaco. Seven minutes, and the classic arrival. Monacair publish the fare on their own site. We do not sell it: we have no trade rate, so buying it from us would only make us the expensive way to buy the same seat.
• A car. Do not. Monaco closes half its roads for the week and parking is a competitive sport.

What the weekend looks like

The race is Sunday, but a sprint weekend puts something on track from Friday, which is the part people miss when they book two nights and fly home on Sunday evening.

1. Wednesday. Arrive. The track is not yet running. This is the night for the Bar Américain at the Hôtel de Paris and the Casino across the square, neither of which you book through us, because neither sells a ticket.
2. Thursday. The Formula 1 sessions start on Friday, so this is the best day for the coast: Villefranche, Èze, or the corniche.
3. Friday. Practice, then sprint qualifying. The cheapest day to be inside the principality.
4. Saturday. The sprint, then qualifying for the race. Qualifying matters more here than anywhere because Monaco is so hard to overtake on.
5. Sunday. The race. Formula 1 publishes the 2027 session times nearer the date. The harbour afterwards.
6. Monday. Fly home. Flying out on Sunday evening means leaving before the podium.

Nights out, with prices

Monaco's nightlife during race week is a real cost, not a footnote. Two evenings are ours to sell, because they sell tickets:

Everything else worth doing at night in Monaco takes a reservation rather than selling a ticket, so we do not sell it and we do not price it. Those places are in your recommendations in the app and you book them yourself. A table on a Saturday in race week is asked for early.

Group trip, do it yourself, or a traditional tour

Doing it yourself is entirely possible and thousands do. What it costs you is the work: race-week hotels sell out early, the ticket market is confusing, and the good nights book out.

A traditional escorted tour solves the planning and takes your weekend with it: a coach, a schedule, and a guide holding an umbrella.

Guideless is the third option. We book the hotel, the trains and whatever extras you choose, and then leave you alone. There is no guide. The group is there at the start and at the harbour after the podium, and the rest of the weekend is yours. Some of the group will be on a yacht on Sunday, some on the Rock, some at a beach in Villefranche: same trip, same group chat.

What we include

The room at the level you choose and the train pass. Every extra on this page is priced separately and you pick it or you do not. That is deliberate: a package that bundles a dinner you did not want is charging you for it.

Frequently asked

How much does it cost to go to the Monaco Grand Prix?

A five-night trip costs most people between about $2,000–$16,000 a person: your own room, the train pass and a way to watch the race. Flights are extra. The table at the top of this page breaks it down from the cheapest weekend that works to the expensive end.

How much are Monaco Grand Prix 2027 tickets?

Standing on the Rocher for all three days is the cheapest way to see the cars, at $392. A numbered seat in Grandstand K for three days is $1,915. A catered VIP terrace for race day runs $2,014–$6,132, and a day on the Amber Lounge yacht is $4,450 for qualifying day. Every one of these can also be bought direct from its seller, and we never charge more than they do.

When is the 2027 Monaco Grand Prix?

Thursday 3 to Sunday 6 June 2027, and for the first time it is a sprint weekend.

When should I book?

Race-week hotels are the constraint, not tickets. The good rooms go six to nine months out and the price only climbs. Our prices follow the hotels' live rates, so a level can rise or sell out.

Is Monaco worth it if I am not a Formula 1 obsessive?

The circuit runs through a working city, the cars pass a few metres from the barrier, and you can hear them from most of the principality. It is the one race where the venue is the attraction.

Do I need a ticket to be in Monaco?

To enter the principality, no. To see the track, yes: the circuit is fenced during sessions.

Can I go for just the race?

You can, and the weekend costs almost as much, because the hotels charge for the week either way.
