How to get to Monaco for the GP

Hello,


We just came back this week-end from the Monaco Grand Prix and had a wonderful time and instantly thought about going back next year, this is the only race each year which is on the same week-end of each year and when I looked at Expedia the hotels were fully booked, we stayed in Nice this year but any other places or ways of doing this and also when will the air fares be announced, as it was prohibitive to fly direct we flew into Milan and got the train there and back to Nice.


Hope this makes sense

    Air fares vary by airline
    BA will release at T-355...currently selling up to 19th May 2018...tomorrow it will be up to 20th etc
    Easyjet are due to release flights for that time in September

    Thanks Caz - sorry to be thick but what does T--355 mean?
    Is it -355 days of the year?

    date of flight less 355 days (10 days short of a year)
  • I think P&O are doing a cruise that, whilst doesn't dock in Monaco (so you'd have to train it in) is planed around being in the area for the GP

    Eurostar/train to one of the resorts between Frejus & Monaco (though bear in mind it's usually the end of Cannes Film Festival the same weekend)


    Dead easy to get the train into Monaco on the Sunday am and back out again Sunday evening

    The same way as you get to Carnegie Hall, "Practice, practice, practice".

    Sorry, I'll get me coat...

    Nice is the most convenient base unless you have mega millions to stay in Monaco itself
