Getting to a Formula 1 race can be half the adventure. While many circuits require long shuttle rides or expensive taxis, a handful of Grands Prix stand out for being directly connected to metro or subway systems. If you’re staying in the host city, these venues make race-day transport simple, fast, and affordable. Here’s a guide to the easiest F1 tracks to reach by metro, plus a look at those that are almost as convenient with a short shuttle ride.

Montreal – Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve

The Canadian Grand Prix is arguably the most metro-friendly race on the calendar. Fans can take the Montréal Metro Yellow Line to Jean-Drapeau station, located on Île Sainte-Hélène. From there, it’s a short walk through Parc Jean-Drapeau to the circuit entrances.

The metro runs extra services on race weekend, but lines can build up after the chequered flag—so buying your return ticket in advance is a smart move.

Mexico City – Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez

Mexico City’s circuit is surrounded by metro stops, making it one of the easiest to access. Take Line 9 (Brown) and get off at Velódromo, Ciudad Deportiva, or Puebla stations. Each one links to different gates around the Autódromo.

With no spectator parking at the venue, the metro is the most practical way in. Expect crowds, but trains run frequently and clear the rush quickly.

Singapore – Marina Bay Street Circuit

The Singapore Grand Prix is built right into the city, and the metro (MRT) is the best way to navigate road closures. Several stations connect directly to different zones of the circuit, including City Hall, Raffles Place, Esplanade, Promenade, Bayfront, and Nicoll Highway.

The MRT is fast, air-conditioned, and heavily signposted during race week, making it the easiest way to move between your hotel, the city, and the track.

Shanghai – Shanghai International Circuit

Shanghai is one of the rare permanent F1 circuits with its own metro stop. Simply hop on Metro Line 11 and get off at Shanghai Circuit station, which sits right next to the venue.

The journey from central Shanghai takes about an hour, but the convenience of stepping off the train directly at the circuit makes this one of the most seamless options for fans.

Baku – Baku City Circuit

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix winds through downtown Baku, and the Baku Metro makes getting there straightforward. Depending on where your grandstand is located, you can use Icherisheher, Sahil, or 28 May stations.

The circuit is spread across the city center, so the nearest station to your entry gate may vary, but all are within easy walking distance.

São Paulo – Interlagos (São Paulo GP)

Interlagos doesn’t have a subway in the strict sense, but it is directly connected by São Paulo’s urban rail network, which integrates with the metro. Fans can ride Line 9 (Esmeralda) to Autódromo station, just 500–600 meters from the circuit gates.

This is one of the simplest ways to reach Interlagos, and most locals use the train rather than drive on race weekend.

Qatar – Lusail International Circuit (with shuttle)

Doha’s Red Line metro connects fans from the city center to Lusail station, the closest stop to the circuit. From there, free shuttle buses run directly to the venue.

While it’s not quite walkable, the metro plus shuttle is still one of the most efficient ways to reach the Qatar Grand Prix without dealing with traffic.

Other circuits worth noting

Several other races aren’t metro-accessible but do have regional rail links that work much like urban transit:

  • Zandvoort (Dutch GP): Train from Amsterdam to Zandvoort aan Zee, steps from the track.
  • Monza (Italian GP): Train to Monza station, then shuttle buses to the circuit.
  • Barcelona-Catalunya (Spanish GP): Rodalies train to Montmeló, followed by a walk or shuttle.
  • Suzuka (Japanese GP): Kintetsu Nagoya Line to Shiroko station, then shuttle buses to the circuit.

Final thoughts

If you want the easiest, no-hassle F1 experiences, the standouts are Montreal, Mexico City, Singapore, Shanghai, Baku, and São Paulo—all walkable from metro or integrated rail stations. Qatar’s Lusail circuit is close behind with its Red Line + shuttle setup.

For fans who prioritize convenience, these metro-connected Grands Prix are some of the best options on the calendar.
