💡 The Short Version: The Monaco Grand Prix runs Thursday 3 to Sunday 6 June 2027, and it is a sprint weekend for the first time. The Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) sells the tickets: €40 for any grandstand on Thursday, €250 to €300 on Friday, €550 to €900 on Saturday and €800 to €1,150 on Sunday, with standing places at €50 to €75 on Friday. Formula 1’s own ticket site sells the same grandstands for more. Monaco is about 22 to 26 minutes from Nice-Ville by train, and the station is a 10-minute walk from the start-finish straight. Prices are in euros. Or book a tour: the Èze, Monaco and Monte-Carlo half-day tripad is from €36 and the Formula 1 track and Monte-Carlo night tourad from €65 (GetYourGuide). Neither sells entry to the race.
⚠️ Buy from the ACM. The same grandstand costs less at monaco-grandprix.com than on Formula 1’s ticket site, and Nice’s beds fill for the weekend, so book the room before you book the seat.

Getting to Monaco from Nice

Formula 1’s ticketing page puts the station a 10-minute walk from the start-finish straight and says driving in during the weekend is heavily restricted.
