How to maximize your F1 weekend without spending a fortune
June 27, 2025
If you are heading to the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, you will find plenty of options for places to stay, no matter what your budget is. Whether you want to be close to the track, in the midst of F1 excitement, or would prefer a quieter spot next to a picturesque lake, choosing the right accommodation is crucial to making the most of your weekend at Monza.
Here are some recommendations.
This spot, of course, has everything one might need to catch the pre-race excitement that builds and intensifies right next to the circuit. (You probably won't be able to book this to be honest, but would be lovely!)
If being close to the track is your top priority, Monza is the most convenient place to stay. You’ll be just minutes from the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, and this makes early arrivals and post-race escapes much simpler.
While staying in Monza means shorter commutes, hotel availability is limited and prices tend to rise fast around race weekend. Book early, and expect to pay around €55–100/night for budget hotels and €100–140+/night for mid-range options.
Many enthusiasts choose to make Milan their home base, just 30 minutes by train from the circuit. As one of the biggest cities in Italy, Milan presents a far wider range of lodgings, dining, and nightlife options—making it just right for any aficionado wanting more than just the roar of engines.
Milan hotel prices are on the high side generally, and prospects get bleaker the nearer you get to race weekend.
Great! But where do you stay? Look to Bergamo. It’s about 50 minutes from Monza, and a good sight-to-see on the Monza Grand Prix trip, in and of itself. Zubizarreta says it’s pretty peaceful compared to Monza. That’s true! Come on! It’s a little town with a lot of beautiful architecture, local eateries, and decent hotel accommodations. Prettiness and peace are hard to find in major Italian cities, much less at a good price.
“We took the train from Bergamo to Monza, then hopped on the circuit shuttle. Easy and budget-friendly.”
Expect to pay around €47–80/night in budget-friendly hotels and about €100–215 for nicer accommodations. Reportedly, the €47 options are third-rate—but still doable.
Do you want to combine watching the fastest cars in the world with one of Italy’s most arresting destinations? Get thee to Lago di Como!
The towns of Como and Lecco, at either end of the lake, are simple to reach by train from Monza and are two of the clearest contenders for a picturesque Italian jaunt.
Expect scenic views, wine, and winding walks—not just engine noise.
For the most dedicated F1 enthusiasts—or those with a tighter budget—camping near the Monza circuit is an unmatched way to absorb the ambiance.
Camping is the least expensive way to stay near the track, but more than that, it's also the most immersive. You're right in the community of fans, with the simplest possible amenities—and that’s the charm.
If you don’t have a place in Monza, your most reliable option is public transportation. Trains darting out from Milan—especially the S7 line—leave frequently and reach Monza in about 30 minutes.
From there, you can either:
