The Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters opens the clay season every April at a unique venue: the Monte-Carlo Country Club, in the French town of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, just east of Monaco. From Nice, it takes about twenty minutes by train.

Do not confuse the two: the Monte-Carlo Masters is played in April near Monaco, while the Rolex Paris Masters takes place in Paris in the autumn. Two tournaments, two cities, two seasons.

Where to sit

  • Facing the centre court (Rainier III): the priciest categories, ideal for quarters, semis and finals;
  • Side views: good value, with a close look at the clay;
  • Outside courts: day tickets give access to the whole site depending on category, so you can move from court to court and watch the seeds warm up;
  • The opening days (qualifiers, first and second rounds) are the cheapest and the densest in matches: the best choice for a first visit.

The exact grandstand ranking depends on the category you pick: check the seating map on the official ticketing site before buying.

Getting there from Nice

  • Train, the recommended option: ZOU! trains link Nice-Ville to Monaco-Monte-Carlo in about 22 minutes (60 journeys a day). During the tournament a temporary « Monte-Carlo Country Club » stop is set up between Monaco and Roquebrune, about 500 metres from entrance no. 4: from Nice, ride to Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, then take a train back in the opposite direction. From Monaco, shuttles and the Principality's buses finish the trip;
  • Bus: Zou! line 600 leaves Nice's port district every 15 minutes and stops at Saint-Roman in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. Throughout the tournament, Principality buses are free for every passenger;
  • Car: A8 motorway, exit 56 Monaco. The Salines car park offers a €6 full-day rate (bookable in advance), linked to the tournament by free shuttles;
  • Helicopter: MONACAIR/BLADE flies from Nice airport to Monaco heliport in 7 minutes, every 30 minutes, with a chauffeur transfer to the tournament gates. Prices published by the operator: check before booking;
  • On foot: the coastal path links Monaco-Monte-Carlo station to the tournament, at your own pace.
