Hi guys! This post is long overdue, but I’m so excited to tell you all about our Monaco Grand Prix experience this past May! My husband was asked to DJ at one of the hospitality suites, and since attending the Monaco GP has been on our bucket list for quite some time, we jumped on the opportunity! We had also been eyeing the South of France for our honeymoon, so we figured this would be the perfect way to experience both. This post will be focused on Monaco and the Grand Prix, but if you’re interested in learning more about our time in the South of France, read my blog post about it here! 😊

Race weekend things to do/see:

Monaco Grand Prix: The Monaco Grand Prix was SO much fun to attend in person. It is the crème de la crème of all motorsport races, and if you ever have the opportunity to go, I would very highly recommend it. Even if you aren’t interested in Formula One, you can still absolutely enjoy it. It also poured rain on race day, which made the race very exciting to watch!
Yacht Day: On Friday of race weekend, we were invited as guests onto a trackside yacht to eat, drink, and enjoy watching the F1 practice. The yacht that we were invited to was provided by the hospitality group that hired Greg to dj the Grand Prix. It was a once in a lifetime experience, and the highlight of our entire trip! If you want to learn more, reach out to me and I can give you details on how to book a yacht experience like this for yourself! 😊
Le Nautic: We spent Qualifying Day and Race Day at this incredible restaurant that has been converted into a hospitality suite (this is where Greg DJ’ed). They provided delicious private catering, unlimited champagne and alcohol, and the best views of the track (in my opinion). It is located within an arms reach of the track, which added such an incredible and thrilling element to the entire experience! If you would be interested in this as well, please reach out to me and I can provide further details!
Casino de Monte Carlo: The Monte Carlo Casino is a staple in Monaco, and something that you absolutely need to see! We visited on Saturday evening after Qualifying, and even saw both Ferrari drivers leaving the track right in front of the casino! The inside of the casino is beautiful and it is free to go inside and walk around the main entrance area. But, if you want to go further inside and do some real gambling, you essentially have to pay a cover fee.
Prince's Palace of Monaco: I decided to take a solo adventure for a few hours and explore Monaco on my own while Greg was DJ’ing. This was my first stop, and I’m so happy that I decided to check it out! It is a decently long walk up an incline, so be prepared with some good walking shoes and water. But, once you reach the top, you are welcomed by the most stunning views of Monaco! I would highly recommend taking a stroll up here, grabbing a gelato, and checking out the palace souvenir shop! They had a great selection, and I ended up buying all of my souvenirs for the trip here!

Food/Drink:

Mozzafiato: We got the most delicious espressos and powdered sugar croissants at this cute little Italian bakery in Monaco. It was a great place to sit and people watch before the race!
Le Nautic Hospitality Suite: During race weekend, we spent the majority of our time in the hospitality suite that Greg was DJing at. They had a wonderful chef who created fantastic meals throughout the day for everyone. My favorite was the tortellini with truffle oil! All food and drinks were included each day, which made it very enjoyable!
