How to accommodate guests on your balcony during the Grand Prix

To accommodate people during Grand Prix races on the balconies, loggias and terraces of buildings located on the outskirts and inside the circuit:

• Your balcony, loggia or terrace must have a view of the circuit
• Your balcony, loggia or terrace must be defined as such in the lease or deed of ownership
• Your balcony, loggia or terrace must be in good order
• Your guests must have a special pass
• The total number of people on your balconies, loggias and terraces must not exceed two people per linear metre of the guardrail, rounded up to the nearest whole number
• Permission must be obtained to install special structures on your balconies, loggias and terraces

Important information

The proximity of many apartment blocks and other buildings to the route of the Grand Prix circuit draws a particularly large crowd onto balconies and terraces, creating a risk of serious accidents by:

• The occurrence of a significant overload which is totally incompatible with what is calculated under normal conditions for use of balconies
• The presence of large numbers of people in residential buildings, which were not originally designed to provide adequate safety conditions for accommodating the public

You should ensure that your balcony, loggia or terrace is in good overall condition and have it checked by a compliance verification body in the Principality. It must meet the minimum requirements stipulated by building regulations.

Important information:

Owners, tenants or beneficiaries must arrange for this to be organised at least 30 days before the event.
 

In the first instance, owners, tenants or beneficiaries will need to provide the following documents:

• A certificate of ownership or tenancy agreement (if possible, detailing a terrace, loggia or balcony)
• An ID document, to confirm the identity of the named person on the certificate of ownership/tenancy agreement
• Verification certificate issued by a compliance verification body approved in the Principality

You can fill in the form and provide the necessary documents.

Your application will be processed by the Monaco Police Department along with the Automobile Club of Monaco.

Following this process, you will receive a reply to your request by email.
 

All owners, tenants and organisers wishing to invite people to use a location situated within the circuit must obtain a special pass. These passes are issued by Police Department.

Upon receipt of the email confirming the request to welcome people on the balcony/loggia/terrace, owners, tenants, or beneficiaries will be able to collect the passes from Automobile Club of Monaco staff in the Square GASTAUD starting from March.
