Each year, the Monaco Grand Prix transforms the glamorous streets of Monte Carlo into the most iconic racing circuit in the world. Held from May 23 to May 25, 2025, this legendary Formula 1 event is not only a high-stakes competition—it’s a celebration of luxury, heritage, and global prestige. Attracting world-class athletes, celebrities, royalty, and elite travelers, it remains a must-attend moment on the Riviera's social calendar.

As the exclusive provider of executive flight support at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (LFMN), AirWise ensures your arrival into the French Riviera is as seamless and refined as the event itself.

Why the Monaco Grand Prix is the Crown Jewel of Formula 1

The Monaco GP offers a unique challenge unlike any other race on the Formula 1 calendar. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Monte Carlo harbor, the track winds through tight corners, elevation changes, and narrow straights that test even the most skilled drivers. Its rich history—dating back to 1929—makes it part of motorsport’s legendary Triple Crown, alongside the Indy 500 and Le Mans 24 Hours.

But what truly sets Monaco apart is the spectacle. From superyachts to rooftop soirées, from Michelin-starred dining to the sound of V6 engines reverberating off historic buildings—Monaco delivers an unmatched sensory experience that blends speed with sophistication.
