Why choose Nice for the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix 2026 ?
During Formula 1 weekend, hotels in Monte Carlo display record prices and often restrictive booking conditions, with multi-night minimum stays and rates several times higher than usual. For Formula One World Championship fans who want to enjoy the race without straining their budget, Nice stands out as the best accommodation choice on the French Riviera.
Just 30 minutes from Monaco Grand Prix by direct TER train, the capital of the Côte d'Azur offers more accessible accommodation options, a lively local life away from the strict traffic restrictions in Monte Carlo during race weekend, and the pleasure of a real city to enjoy morning and evening, between boutiques, restaurants and seafront terraces. It's also the choice made by many motorsport professionals, technical teams and seasoned visitors who travel daily to the street circuit from Nice-Ville train station. Before booking, take time to check prices and availability: at equivalent comfort, the gap between Monaco and Nice easily justifies the short train journey.
