How seating location affects your F1 weekend from entry to exit
June 30, 2025
Reaching the Autodromo Nazionale Monza is an essential part of your Formula 1 weekend. Luckily, there are several convenient and inexpensive transport options that take fans from Milan, Monza, and other neighboring locales directly to the circuit. This guide will not only help you decide what transport option is best for you (based on comfort, speed, or frugality), but it will also give you the basic rundown on how to use these options to get to the track.
Most fans find that taking the train and shuttle bus is the best way to reach the Italian Grand Prix. Trains on the S8, S9, and S11 lines leave from Milano Centrale and other city stations, making the trip to Monza in about 20 minutes. From Monza station, you can catch the "Black Line" shuttle bus that takes fans directly to the circuit gates inside Monza Park.
The shuttle bus is fairly cheap, as are the trains; expect to pay between €3–5 for the round trip. Trenord, the train line serving this area, has even started offering combo tickets that include both the train and shuttle.
If you're looking for a budget-friendly alternative, public buses serve the Grand Prix well. From Milan, you can take Metro Line M1 to Sesto 1° Maggio FS and then catch the Z221 bus to Vedano or Biassono—both close to circuit entrances. These buses are integrated into the Milan public transport system, so tickets cost just a couple of euros. From Monza station, local buses like the 204 and 221 will also drop you within walking distance of the track. These buses are frequent and cost-effective, and they’re especially useful if shuttle queues are long after the race.
If you want a more private or direct experience, taxis and ride-shares are available in Milan and Monza. A taxi from Milan to Monza on average costs between €60–€80 one-way, depending on the amount of traffic and the time of day. Be warned, though: if you plan to return right after the race on Sunday, it may be hard to snag an available taxi, and surge pricing could make the fare even heftier.
If you're planning on driving, you'll need to account for the local road closures and the access to limited parking around the track. Monza restricts many roads near the circuit during the race weekend. As a result, drivers must park in the designated areas like the Blue or Purple Zones and take a shuttle to the track from there. Parking prices vary by distance and damn near proximity, with the added feature of whether or not a shuttle service is included in the deal. That's between €25 and over €100, friend. Plan ahead and avoid leaving anything valuable in your car.
For fans who like walking and want to avoid the shuttle crowds, there are lovely walking paths to the circuit. From Biassono-Lesmo station, fans can walk through Monza Park and reach Grandstand 1 in about 20–30 minutes. It’s a nice path and perfect for avoiding the queues. For the more adventurous, or if you happen to start from Monza station, there’s the 40-minute walk through the park to the circuit. Not ideal for everyone, of course, but peaceful and perfect for the timing control that is so helpful when leaving after the race.
Even though taking a train or an organized shuttle bus is the most recommended and reliable way to arrive at or depart from Monza, these too can be less than perfect ways to travel when you are trying to get to an event, especially an event where there are likely to be a lot of people. So, with that in mind, these are some suggestions for working around that tiny obstacle to better enjoy the experience of seeing cars go very fast and, hopefully, not hearing many vroom! vroom! sounds that are confined to a particular phase of car propulsion.
