Am thinking of going to the monaco grand prix this year, am travelling from newcastle.
What's the best way to get there, would preferto fly I think, what is the nearest airport?
Any advice on anyone who has gone before or knows more than me (not difficult) would be excellent and then I can set the wheels in motion!
Cheers
Paul

It'll cost you.

As I have just found out, new travel would be more expensive around that date but the price hike is huge! hmmmm, going to have to look into this one...

easyJet fly newcastle-nice.

I looked at easyjet and as a comparison return early may £50ish, around the grand prix dates £150-£200. Going to have a look at more thanks for the link!

There is a travel company that does all the WRC events and take you on a tour of the area and take you to the beat places to see it. Their may be a simular thing for F1.

I went to the Monza grand prix last season - quite a good laugh. Easily accessible from (Milan) Bergamo airport for the low cost carriers, or milan Linate with the scheduled ones.
Pretty tedious race though - only one overtaking manoeuvre at the entrance to the Parabolica, where we were, all afternoon.
Glad I went but I won´t go again.
PS take ear plugs.

Some years ago, I flew to Marseille and got a train to Monaco for the GP. Found that flights to Nice were booked fully up some time ahead and the Marseille option was not a bad alternative although not a fast trip. Go down a few days ahead and make a long weekend of it.

I have been to Monaco grand prix twice, both time used Motor Racing International.
They offer all types of tours including Day trip - which is too much hassel. Both times I have done the day trip, both times stuck at Nice airport trying to get a slot out. They quote in the brochure - back in Stanstead by 930 - 10 pm - never, both times very late back.
