Schedule of Monaco Grand Prix: plan your own experience
The Monaco Grand Prix 2021 is getting closer. Soon Formula One cars will drive at crazy speeds on the legendary Monaco Grand Prix track and fans will await their favourite pilots to take their steps on the podium.
Recently, the Monaco government announced that despite the reduced number of guests who will be allowed in the Grand Prix stands in the Principality, Monaco is nevertheless waiting for guests from all over the world. But every one of them will have to show evidence of a recent PCR test with negative results. The spouses of employees of Monaco, nationals of the Alpes-Maritimes and Var and all people coming from outside must present a PCR test of less than 72 hours to access the stands. Only Monegasques, residents, employees, schools and students of the Principality will be able to access their places without providing proof of a PCR test.
Now is the right time to plan your unique experience during the legendary races in Monaco this year. Tickets can be purchased by visiting the official website.
On Thursday 20th, Saturday 22th and Sunday 23rd the seated stands will be open (regular publicized pricing applies) with the spacing allowing around 40% of its usual capacity, i.e. 7,500 spectators each day. On Friday May 21st, only the K and T stands will be open with their capacity limited to 3,000 spectators with no restriction as to their origin. Access to the stands will be free that day.
