For the second time in just two years another British driver looked down triumphantly from the top of the Monaco Grand Prix podium. Five wins in six races - in a few short months Jenson Button had been transformed from an out of work racing driver to a national hero and he and the Brawn F1 team were basking in every glorious moment. Who could have doubted, at this stage of the season, that they had what it takes to become world champions.
Street circuits come and go but in spite of the difficulties of running a race in the Principality, Monaco has a permanent place on the F1 calendar. Many of the drivers are at home here and on the track they are closer than ever to the fans in the stands. It's a special event for everyone and the perfect opportunity to spend a few days on the glamourous French Riviera.
Stay in Monaco itself, in the quiet and elegant resort of Beaulieu or in Nice. We have a choice of specially chosen hotels in all categories and to suit all budgets.
Our tour prices are based on flights from London Gatwick or Stansted airports. Flights from alternative London and regional airports are also available and can be reserved for you. If you prefer to take a longer holiday and drive down to Monaco we can arrange your channel crossings and overnight stops en route. Some of our hotels have private parking. View the proposed event timetable.
All our prices include return transfers between Nice Airport and your hotel and accommodation on bed and breakfast basis. If you stay in Nice or in Beaulieu rail tickets are also included so that you can make your way to and from Monaco for practice, qualifying and the race at your leisure and at times to suit you and, of course, we are on hand throughout your stay to give you any advice and assistance you may need.
