Tender Service for yacht access departs from Monaco's main harbour, Port Hercules (see map).

The train from Nice to Monaco takes approximately 25 minutes. The train runs until approximately 11.30pm every night.

The trains can become overcrowded during the F1 weekend, especially directly after Sundays race.

A taxi normally takes 35 minutes between Nice & Monaco. During Grand Prix this time can increase to approx. 90 minutes.

Taxis are relatively easy to find in Nice, including Uber/rideshare apps.

Monaco has a limited taxi fleet and Uber/rideshare apps are banned from picking up in Monaco. So finding a taxi back to Nice in the evenings can be difficult.

Senate Grand prix offers a coach service between nice & Monaco during the F1 period.  

 Helicopters takes approx. 7 minutes from Nice Airport – Monaco. Providers such as Blade run a regular service where guests can buy a seat on a shared helicopter helping to keep costs down. Once you have landed in Monaco the shuttle will drop you at your final destination.

What Women Wear to the Monaco Grand Prix: Style & Elegance at the Ultimate Racing Event

The Monaco Grand Prix is not just one of the most prestigious races on the Formula 1 calendar—it's also a significant social and fashion event. Attended by celebrities, royals, and the elite of the motorsport world, the Grand Prix in Monte Carlo is an opportunity for women to showcase their most glamorous and sophisticated outfits. Whether attending from a yacht, terrace, grandstand, or paddock, here’s what women typically wear to the Monaco GP.

1. Chic Daytime Attire for Race Viewing

Women opt for elegant yet comfortable outfits during daytime events. Lightweight fabrics such as linen, silk, and cotton are ideal for staying cool under the Mediterranean sun. Popular choices include:

  • Tailored jumpsuits or flowy sundresses in neutral or pastel tones.
  • Stylish wide-leg trousers paired with silk tops or designer blouses.
  • Sophisticated co-ord sets or lightweight blazers over shorts.

2. Footwear: Comfort Meets Luxury

With the steep streets of Monaco and yacht decks to navigate, women avoid uncomfortable heels during the day. Instead, they wear:

  • Designer espadrilles, chic flat sandals, or stylish loafers for effortless elegance.
  • Wedges or block heels are for those who prefer a little height without discomfort.

3. Accessories: The Finishing Touches

  • Designer sunglasses (think oversized frames or cat-eye styles) are necessary for function and fashion.
  • Wide-brimmed hats or chic headscarves provide extra sun protection.
  • For a sophisticated touch, minimalist jewellery, such as delicate gold necklaces and statement earrings.

4. Evening Glam for Yacht Parties & VIP Events

When the sun sets, the Monaco Grand Prix transforms into a luxury party scene, with gala dinners and exclusive yacht events. Women dress in:

  • Elegant cocktail dresses or floor-length gowns for evening functions.
  • Satin slip dresses, tailored jumpsuits, or designer two-piece sets for a modern, fashion-forward look.
  • Strappy heels or embellished sandals complement their glamorous outfits.

5. Paddock & VIP Hospitality Fashion

For those with access to VIP hospitality suites or the F1 paddock, the dress code is upscale yet relaxed:

  • Sophisticated midi dresses, chic rompers, or designer separates.
  • Neutral or monochrome outfits with branded accessories (such as Chanel, Hermès, or Dior).
  • A balance between glamour and practicality, as comfort is key for walking through the paddock.

Final Thoughts

The Monaco Grand Prix is the perfect blend of high fashion and motorsport. Women attending the event embrace the elegance of the French Riviera, ensuring they look effortlessly stylish while enjoying the thrill of F1 racing. Whether lounging on a yacht, attending a VIP afterparty, or cheering from the grandstands, sophisticated glamour is the ultimate dress code.

Monaco Historic Grand Prix: Friday 24th to Sunday 26th April 2026


The Monaco Grand Prix has traditionally been held in late May. However, starting in 2026, the race will shift to the first weekend of June. This change is part of a six-year extension agreement between Formula 1 and the Automobile Club of Monaco, ensuring that the Grand Prix remains on the calendar until at least 2031. ​
The Monaco 2026 F1® dates are confirmed as Thursday June 4th, Friday June 5th, Saturday June 6th, and Sunday June 7th 2026.


The adjustment aims to optimise the racing calendar, reducing logistical challenges and environmental impact by allowing for more efficient event scheduling. Notably, this move will prevent future clashes with the Indianapolis 500, enabling fans to enjoy both iconic races on separate weekends. ​
