Monaco’s Events: Thousands Gather in the Principality
The Principality of Monaco is renowned for its prestigious international events, such as the Formula 1 Grand Prix and the Rolex Masters. These gatherings draw thousands of visitors each year, turning Monaco into a global hub of activity. As a result, Monaco’s train station becomes a critical entry and exit point for these travelers. Efficient passenger flow management is crucial to ensuring a seamless experience.
