With Monaco preparing to welcome thousands of visitors for two of its most high-profile annual events — the 8th and 9th Monaco E-Prix on 3rd and 4th May, followed by the 82nd Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix from 22nd to 25th May 2025 — the Monaco Government is encouraging racegoers to take advantage of the Parking des Salines, a large-capacity facility designed to ease congestion and streamline access to the heart of the action.
Positioned at the western entrance to the Principality, the Salines car park provides a practical and efficient alternative to navigating the city centre. With 1,790 parking spaces and a flat day rate of just €10 during race periods, it offers a cost-effective option that allows visitors to bypass urban traffic while still reaching the circuit quickly and easily.
Two dedicated access routes have been put in place to connect the car park with the race zone. The first is a complimentary shuttle service operated by the Compagnie des Autobus de Monaco, available to all users presenting either their parking ticket or the QR code from an advance online booking via the RésaWeb platform. The shuttle runs between Salines and Avenue Albert II in Fontvieille, a short five-minute walk from the track. This option is especially recommended for people with reduced mobility.
The second is a clearly signposted pedestrian route, taking approximately 16 minutes, that winds through the Galerie des Salines, Promenade Honoré II, Place du Canton, and Place d’Armes. Both options are designed to ensure smooth, stress-free access to the circuit without entering Monaco’s often congested core.
By comparison, city centre car parks will charge between €24 and €30 per day over the race weekends, making Parking des Salines a saving of up to 67% for drivers.
Reservations can already be made at https://resa.parkings.mc, offering visitors the chance to secure their space in advance and benefit from the full convenience of the service.
With affordable rates, free shuttles, and direct walking routes, the government is positioning the Parking des Salines as the smart choice for anyone driving into Monaco during its flagship sporting events.
