Hi, how do people who live in Monaco find stuff to do on weekends? Given Monaco is so small, do they frequently have to go to France to find stuff to do? If so, which cities do they go to? Thanks.
Salut, my Wife and I will be in Monaco next week and she is asking if anyone has a good waxing salon they can recommend for bikini line. Thanks, this will be our second trip and we can't wait to be back!
hi! i was wondering if there were promoters or easy ways to get into club in monaco/monte carlo!
My friend and I(20s–30s, female) are looking for nightclub recommendations for Thursday night (this week). Ideally, somewhere with a 20-40s crowd, and where it’s easy to meet people.
I’ve been to Sass Café before, but the night I went, the clientele was older (50s), so I’m not sure if that’s typical. 💀
If anyone is open to sharing promoter contacts through DM, we'd appreciate it! x
This is my opinion,
With Monaco always being a logistics challenge to plan, I wanted to put together a comprehensive breakdown of the absolute best vantage points around the circuit, depending on what you’re actually looking to get out of the weekend (drama, speed, or pure luxury).
After looking at how the circuit layout translates to real-world viewing, here is the breakdown of the key sectors:
1. For First-Lap Drama: Sainte Dévote (Turn 1)
If you want to see where races are literally won or lost on lap one, you need a view of Turn 1. It’s a heavy braking zone where drivers have to show massive commitment.
The View: You want something elevated here, like the Ermanno Palace Suites. It gives you a direct look down at the start-finish grid, the chaos of Turn 1, and a sweeping view of the harbour panorama.
2. For Pure Elevation & Grid Action: Start-Finish Line
If you want to feel the energy of the starting grid and the pit lane strategy, sticking to the main straight is key.
The View: The Heracles Roof Terrace or Shangri-La Apartments are the go-tos here. Shangri-La is high enough to let you see the starting grid *and* look across to the fast Swimming Pool section at the same time.
3. For the Iconic Monaco Photo-Op: Fairmont Hairpin (Turn 7)
The slowest corner in all of motorsport. If you want to see the technical precision of an F1 car turning at full lock-up close, this is it.
The View: The Fairmont VIP Suites look directly down onto the apex. It’s not where you'll see overtakes, but it’s arguably the most famous track view in the world.
4. For the Atmosphere & Driver Sightings: La Rascasse & Anthony NoghèsThe The
final sector is where the party happens, and it’s also where the cars slingshot back onto the main straight.
The View: La Rascasse is legendary for its indoor/outdoor party vibe right on the inside of the track. If you want a mix of trackside dining and a view of the final acceleration zone, the Grid Café area is usually the place.
How to choose?
Grandstands: Usually 3-day tickets, meaning you are locked into one spot. Great if you find a view you love, but less flexible.
* **Hospitality/Terraces:** More expensive, but usually includes food/drinks and lets you split days (e.g., one spot for Quali, another for the Race).
For anyone trying to map out exactly where these terraces and views sit relative to the track, I found this detailed breakdown map and FAQ super helpful: https://www.senategrandprix.com/Best
What’s everyone’s favourite spot to watch Monaco from? Are grandstands worth it over the hospitality terraces if you're on a budget?
Hello everyone,
One of the hardest things when you arrive in Monaco is finding real social circles beyond the young party scene or superficial networking.
Here’s a curated list of the most recommended clubs and associations by expats:
Question for the community:
Which of these have you joined and actually recommend for making genuine friends (not just networking)?
Any other good ones missing from the list?
What’s the best non-Michelin starred dinner you’ve had in Monaco, regardless of price? I’m talking really show stopping and/or left you thinking about it once you got home. Ideally no prix fixe. For the sake of the conversation, let’s say money’s no object.
Hi! Visiting Monaco from Nice next week and put together a walking plan for the day.
Would really appreciate any advice on:
Planned route:
Thanks in advance!
I'm going to Monaco for the GP and I'm scrambling on what to wear for night time. I have tix for Lily's Club that Friday. Is it sparkly dress type? Long or short? Any advice would be great :)
Entre dépôt bancaire, logement en Principauté, carte de séjour et justificatifs financiers, obtenir la résidence à Monaco demande une vraie préparation. Le système reste attractif, mais les critères sont souvent plus stricts qu’on ne l’imagine.
Selon vous, est-ce que Monaco devrait assouplir ses conditions de résidence ou préserver ce modèle très encadré ?
Which foods do you miss the most and that always disappoint you when you're abroad?
Visiting Monaco in a couple of weeks and as a tennis fan, would love to see the Monte Carlo Country Club courts.
Is there any way for non-members to enter (e.g. restaurant access or public times), or are there any good viewpoints from outside where you can see the courts?
How many of you actually acquired Monegasque citizenship after ten years of residency? Some people say it's not possible to acquire Monegasque citizenship even after ten years.
Hello Everyone!
I’m a student from Singapore and I enjoy collecting postcards. I would be very grateful to receive postcards from anywhere in Monaco 🙂
If postcards aren’t available, I’d also really appreciate a greeting card, generic card, or a small souvenir.
(like a keychain, rock, local snack, flag, ornament, cap, T-shirt, or handmade craft)
This is for my personal collection, and not for any commercial purpose.
If you’re willing to help, please leave a comment and I’ll share my mailing address with you.
Thank you so much in advice, and warm greetings from Singapore!
🇸🇬🤝🇲🇨
Bonjour à tous !
Je suis étudiante à Singapour et je collectionne les cartes postales. Je serais ravie de recevoir des cartes postales de Monaco 🙂
Si je ne peux pas recevoir de cartes postales, j'apprécierais beaucoup une carte de vœux, une carte classique ou un petit souvenir.
(Par exemple : un porte-clés, un caillou, une spécialité locale, un drapeau, une décoration, une casquette, un t-shirt ou un objet artisanal).
Cette collection est personnelle et n'a aucun but commercial.
Si vous souhaitez m'aider, merci de laisser un commentaire et je vous communiquerai mon adresse postale.
Merci d'avance pour vos conseils et mes chaleureuses salutations de Singapour !
🇸🇬🤝🇲🇨
Ciao a tutti!
Sono uno studente di Singapore e mi piace collezionare cartoline. Sarei molto grato di ricevere cartoline da qualsiasi parte di Monaco 🙂
Se non fosse possibile ricevere cartoline, apprezzerei molto anche un biglietto d'auguri, una cartolina generica o un piccolo souvenir.
(come un portachiavi, una pietra, uno snack locale, una bandiera, un ornamento, un cappellino, una maglietta o un oggetto artigianale)
Questo è per la mia collezione personale e non per scopi commerciali.
Se siete disposti ad aiutarmi, lasciate un commento e condividerò con voi il mio indirizzo postale.
Grazie mille in anticipo e un caloroso saluto da Singapore!

Hello, my girlfriend and I are coming this weekend to watch the E-Prix car race, and we are wondering if there is anywhere to store bags in Monaco. Does anyone know of any places or hotels that would store bags for a couple hours for relatively cheap?
Does anyone know if I can watch the GP race live for free on site in Monaco? I'll be in Monaco on Sunday but the race tickets are terribly expensive and I want to know if there are any places where I can watch the race for free.
My son is absolutely obsessed with cars and motorsport, so taking him to Monaco for a few days feels like a dream father and son trip 😊
We’re visiting until Sunday and are mainly enjoying the atmosphere, the cars, and everything around the race weekend.
If anyone happens to have a nice local tip, viewing spot, or maybe even space available on a boat during the next few days, feel free to send me a message. Of course we are happy to pay for it.
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Spam & phishing calls have become one of the most persistent daily frustrations for residents and businesses in Monaco. Despite being the world’s wealthiest and a technically sophisticated jurisdictions, Monaco has no meaningful defence at the network level. MonacoTelecom, the sole carrier, provides no spam & phishing filtering and its time to change that.
No need to go to a landfill in Argentina for birdwatching, just go to the Carrefour in Monaco where pigeons walk around freely everywhere 😅 Hopefully there won’t be any contamination in Monaco too. #Hantavirus
