- Monaco Grand Prix (May 27 – May 28)
It is the most sought-after motorsport event on Planet Earth. Those who win after 78 laps are remembered as legends forever. Racing through the tight and narrow streets of Monaco at up to 180 mph is frightening. There’s no room for error. The best way to watch it is from your own yacht in the marina. Celebrities, statesmen and royals will be in town so you can expect the most extravagant parties and events of the year.
