Special “Circuit” and “Saline” shuttles

This year, for the three motor events, the new Salines car park (1,790 spots), located at the western entrance to the Principality, will be accessible via shuttles provided to eventgoers by the Monaco Bus Company (CAM).

Free with a parking stub, the outbound “Circuit” shuttle and return “Salines” shuttle will run every 10 minutes between 8 am and 8 pm. The latter runs from the stop located on Avenue Albert II in Fontvieille, a few minutes’ walk from the Monaco Circuit.

Choosing this city entrance car park provides easy access to the circuit and prevents heavy traffic related to races, at affordable prices.
