Circuit de Monaco
The most famous street circuit on the F1 calendar. On ordinary days you can walk past the Sainte Dévote corner, the Fairmont hairpin and the tunnel.
The Monaco Grand Prix has been held on the city's streets since 1929. The circuit is about 3.3 km long and winds past Port Hercule, Casino Square and the seafront tunnel. It is one of the most legendary stops on the F1 calendar. On ordinary days these stretches are regular roads, and you can walk a route of photo spots in this order: Sainte Dévote corner, the Massenet climb, Casino Square, the Fairmont hairpin (the slowest corner of the season), the tunnel, the harbour straight, the Piscine complex and La Rascasse. The full loop takes about one to one and a half hours, and you can still see the red-and-white kerbs on the road surface. During the Grand Prix weekend in late May, tickets are required. Grandstands are built over the preceding weeks, and some roads are closed.
