I can suggest you to arrive in Biassono ingresso S.Maria alle Selve (or ingresso Vedano al Lambro). There was about 7 around the circuit according to the map. Staying in Milano and we have a rental car. Just be aware we got the run around asking a few of the staff where to go but if you head to Gate A then you should be able to get someone to point it out. We was behind the grandstand for the majority of the race queuing for food and drink again but the main big Green beer sponsor also ran out of beer at this tent. Trains run regularly (about every 10 minutes) between Nice and Monte Carlo Station. Ask a fellow passenger or have Google Maps open on your smartphone. Buy a ticket from the driver, about 2 EUR I guess. Thank you! You will need to take a train from MXP to Porto Garibaldi train station in Milan, then a second train to Monza. This was already worth the effort. It took forever! The park is huge and has lots to see and do, so use that time to walk around and experience the atmosphere. Do you know which train/bus connection is best?? You can also get a local bus, like the 221. scan the QR code. Hi Jerry, best idea is to take the train to Monza train station, then the Black shuttle bus and walk. Id drive to the track, but maybe take the train on race day when the traffic will be much heavier. do we have to go to Monza station because is there one entrance or do we have to walk somewhere else with general admission tickets. This year will be our 7th trip to Monza over the last 20 odd years, and as you probably guessed, it is our favourite circuit for so many different reasons. It is my guess that Ferrari have the best opportunity since Alonso in 2010 to have two cars on the podium, even a 1-2. Another option would be a taxi to the north of Milan, to Sesto San Giovanni, followed by the 221 bus to Monza. I have that pic on my 500PX account. I hear girls screaming and asking people stop pushing but no one seem to care. Cheers. Italy has a good motorway network, but the tolls can get quite expensive. I was in grandstand 8 that year. Heading to the fanzone which was a large empty tent, food places etc all insane on queue lengths Depends where you park, but Gate E is convenient. Heading to the pit walk today from Milan Centrale, we can get a train in but is it a case of a taxi at the other end to get us to the track? Not 100& sure, sorry. I am coming from an international flight at 10 am race day and i need to check in at hotel, will i still have time to reach the circuit? It can take up to 30 minutes to make your way from the shuttle bus to your seat. I will be coming from Venice by train. The Z221 bus is another option as it gets you closer to entrance gates, but I think youd need to take it from the start in Sesto San Giovanni, as I think it will be full by the time it gets to Monza. I suppose that the logical thing is that I get the 10 ticket for the train+shuttle bus, right? I heard that it would also take very long with the trains after the race? It certainly paid to not choose the obvious route if arriving by car. They cost 4 EUR return and its easiest to buy them when you are ready to take the shuttle. We parked in a side street close to the bike rental Noleggio bici Cascina Bastia in Via Cavriga and rented 4 bikes (3euro/hour for hours 1-4, 1.5euro/hour after that). If you need any info on either the city or the trains just let me know. I dont recommend booking flights so early after the grand prix, but you still should be fine. Race day, I wanted to try Monza station to z221 bus, but we voted to do the Biassono walk again, and good thing. Thank You Im not sure about ATMs at the track: better to stock up on some cash before you arrive, but Im sure you can pay for merchandise with a card. So, I decided to write about my experience in case it would help someone else. WHERE TO PARK During the ITALIAN GRAND PRIX it is not possible to access the racetrack with private cars and motorbikes . Despite this we had an amazing day, the atmosphere was fantastic and everyone was very friendly and helpful.

You have to validate the tickets on the yellow boxes on the platform. Can I get a train direct to Monza from Como without having to go into Milan? Hello, dont you know when the parking tickets will be available to buy? Hi Paul. Woke up later than planned on race day but still, somehow, made it to the grandstand in time for the GP3 race from Biassono. Came back as late as possible and keep calm. You could use the public bus arriving to Biassono (here one of the lines http://monzabrianza.autoguidovie.it/it/l/orario-monza-brianza/index). Before arriving Id consider driving to Milan, finding some suitable/safe parking and then taking the train or the bus to the circuit. Golf carts ? Train from Bergamo and then the Black shuttle sounds like a good plan. It is also possible to take bus 100 to the circuit! I just wish the train companies would put more trains on!! However the regular hourly service on line S7 between Milano Porta Garibaldi and Lecco stopping at Biassono-Lesmo Parco runs every day (even Sunday). Last time I went for the main straight bleachers, which are excellent value for money and great for the start/finish of the race and pits action, but unfortunately they are already sold out this year. Any advice much appreciated. This is the entrance closest to the outside of the Parabolica corner. Como-Monza are mainly regional trains, so w/o the fixed time for the ticket. Hi Lieve, I wouldnt hire a car to get to the circuit on Saturday/Sunday. This has to be the worst, notwhithstanding the race. Ordered our tickets way back and found out today that they wont ship in time, so we are stuck having to pick them up there. You cannot buy in advance, only on the day. As a first time visitor, I cant help be sense Italy is struggling with its economy, so when you walk up from train platform, there are about 15-20 metro police waiting to check your to metro. Hi to both of you, Hi Sue, I think the only time you can walk around the circuit itself is after the race finishes on Sunday. I am thinking of going to the race, I would land at 12h30 at Linate and race starts at 15h00. We are staying near to Milan Centrale station and have tickets for Parabolica. Can you please advise best (and easiest) way to get there. Required fields are marked *. 1) Saturday should be fine. We walked the track for pictures, and after about an hour felt it would be safe to head back.

I guess we need to be at the airport max 1h15 before, so before 19h30). My wife & I have been to 6 Monza events. Wondering how to get to the circuit on Thursday? The advantage as I saw it is that the park and ride buses drop you off about a 30 minute walk from the entrances whilst this was actually 100 yards from the entrance. Check the circuit map closely on this page, you can see the route for the Black shuttle. We would like to park at the Gold parking. I looked at maps on my phone, and noticed that there is Arcore train station less than 3 kms from the Lesmo exit. Sanctuary of Santa Maria delle Grazie 1.28 km. Best Price. Use your google map for te destination stop as a reminder and DO NOT get off Vedono as most peopl gets off this stop. or not?? Four of us are off to Milan for the first time on 1st September, staying at LaGare Hotel, close to Stazione Centrale. Hello. thanks for the info Jerome, I will update the post soon. You will see the Black shuttle drops you off around 15 minutes walk from Parabolica or Vedano entrances, either of these are good. And the Black shuttle costs 6 EUR return, you can pay on the day or buy in advance here. Outbound trains leaves Milano Porta Garibaldi at 17 past the hour for a 32 minute journey, and the return towards Milan leaves Biassono-Lesmo at 9 past the hour.

Merci pour ces information si je pars trs tt le dimanche matin en voiture pour monza, a quelle heure des difficults commencent ? Hi Mike, Is it worth driving to the track and parking or is there another option thats more efficient? I havent received mine yet, although I am in Scandinavia. I was looking at buying a weekly pass for the train so we can get around Milan as well but it appears you need some sort of card to load it on to, which is not available for tourist. The info on Shuttles / walking times was very informative. Thanks a lot! Monza Train Station | The F1 Spectator From here there are a number of ways to continue to the circuit which are listed below. Thanks for the information, by the way, very helpful! If you planning a trip to Monza, I wish you have a great time and watch an amazing race. Is it best to pre-book our train tickets and if so do we need to stick to the times we book for? I am not sure why did I have to spent the money for the torture. I just attended the August 31,2017 pit F1 put walk today. It may be possible to take a taxi, but honestly it can be quicker to walk as well at peak times. It is the capital of the Province of Monza and Brianza. Im planning to go back this year, I love this place. Hi, we are traveling to Monza next weekend. (Brown area, but very busy during this last years). But consider taking the train on race day, otherwise you will get stuck in traffic. ticket. First of all, overall experience was the worst by far. The circuit is easily reachable by bus from the train station (in italin it's called FS on the maps). The main person we are taking is my friends Nona and she is not the strongest walker but is so excite to see Ferrari for the 1st time in her life. Thanks for the quick response! Im coming from Adelaide, Australia and am looking forward to going to Monza for tas they may not be the most expensivehe 1st time. Very disappointing, hopefully the organizers make some big improvements for 2023, but Im not holding my breath. Thanks. Great site, informative with great info and tips. What time is your flight after the race? Definitely recommended when compared to the food & beverage close to the stands 8a with higher prices and long queues. Going to Monza station and taking the black line shuttle is your best bet for this grandstand (youll have a 20 minute walk to enter the circuit and then another 20 minute walk to your grandstand). Dont be in a hurry to leave the circuit after the race, enjoy the atmosphere and wait for the crowds to die down. You dont want to be lining up for tickets at peak times if you can avoid it. I think either station works for 6b, but you would have to walk further from the Biassono-Lesmo station. Honestly, its been a while since I was in GA at Monza. Hi Neil, optimistically a taxi shouldnt be too expensive from Monza station to the circuit, its only a few km. Then from Monza you can use the guideline here above. You can try CampingF1, they have a campsite thats around 30 minutes walk from the Lesmo entrance of the circuit. Pitlane walk on Thursday should be open from 4-7pm, more in Trackside: https://f1destinations.com/trackside-italian-f1-grand-prix/ Also, if you are keen to get drivers autographs, the exit of the paddock is a good place to hang out, more info here: https://f1destinations.com/where-to-meet-f1-stars-monza-italian-grand-prix/ Right now we are thinking of arriving at the circuit on Sunday by train and shuttle, and leaving the circuit in the same way. Can confirm shuttle busses are 5 EUR. More info in our Tickets guide. You shouldnt even need to print them if you can scan the QR code on your phone, but having a printout is always a good idea. Can we expect ridiculous queues for shuttles and trains afterwards though ? I wouldnt recommend flying out before about 9pm. But you can find more info here (to actually buy parking passes, the site is in Italian only). Alternatively you could come more Westerly via Paris and Geneva. The 20 minutes walk to Monza park from the black busline is a little optimistic. I only did the Monza/shuttle method, which I can recommend. We parked our bikes close to Ingresso C and after some queuing entered the circuit area. Do you know, with half capacity this year, if shuttle buses are running at the same times as mentioned above? Best to take the train to Monza station on Sunday, it will be less walking (if you take the Black shuttle) than Lesmo. I thought this may be the case. I have stumbles across this site a couple of weeks ago. But I would personally buy in advance, save you having to line up. Exciting seeing it all, but quite a trek. The train certainly seems the best bet but would you suggest getting off at Monza or Lesmo on Sunday?
