The Event

Winding a rubber-burning route through the streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine, the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix is arguably the most glamorous event on the auto-racing calendar. 120,000 onlookers join up to spot the world’s greatest drivers as they put their steering skills to the test across tricky hairpins, tight tunnels, and exhilarating shifts in elevation. Watching the action from the Rocher area, motor fans can cheer racers across the finish line before taking some time to soak up the atmosphere, dine in top-class restaurants, and explore Monaco’s famous yachting marina and casinos.

The Flights

After boarding a specially chartered Boeing 737, guests will depart at 7.30am before enjoying a hearty in-flight breakfast, served on elegant china crockery. Leather seat pitches will help this business class service flight pass comfortably, while a selection of complimentary drinks may add a cork-popping dash of indulgence to proceedings. Arriving at Nice Airport later that morning, visitors will be transferred to Monaco by coach to get the day’s racing underway.

Groupon’s Guide To Monaco

Sheltered from the cold winds of the north by the Alps and pampered by the hot sun of the southern coast, Monaco is the second smallest independent state in the world. Monaco is located on the French Riviera and offers holidaymakers not only historic, but also modern notable sights.

This territory consists of four districts: Monaco-Ville, Monte Carlo, Fontvieille and La Condamine. A cluster of specific landmarks such as the Prince’s Palace bearing a historic significance, or the Oceanographic Museum boasting a multitude of maritime species, may be found in Monaco-Ville. In Monte Carlo, visitors may gamble at one of the many grand casinos, or get a breath of fresh air in the Japanese Gardens. In Fontvieille, travellers will be delighted by an authentic collection of classic cars at The Private Collection of Antique Cars of H.S.H. Prince Rainier III, and an exhibit of various ships at The Naval Museum. Set in the heart of Monaco, La Condamine offers pedestrian areas filled with boutique shops, while a diversified selection of plants, as well as an underground cave with archeological formations may be found at the The Exotic Garden.
