If you are heading to the 81st Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix this weekend, or will simply be in Monaco, here is everything you need to know to navigate your way around the city.
The circuit closes to vehicles and pedestrians every morning between 6am-7:30am and reopens in the evening between 6pm-9pm, though on-track incidents can delay evening reopening.
Access to the circuit is provided through 10 entry gates, each designated for specific grandstands. Recommended entrance gates include Gate 1 for Le Rocher (General Admission and the cheapest option), Gate 2 for Grandstands N, O, P, V, etc. For more information, click here: Trackside at Circuit de Monaco – 2024 Monaco Grand Prix – F1Destinations.com.
A tip for the general admission areas is to get there at around 6am to secure your spot as the system works on a first come first serve basis.
