The legendary Monza circuit has hosted more Formula 1 races than any other circuit, with 1980 being the only season that the track didn’t appear on the schedule. 2022 marked 100 years since the opening of Autodromo Monza and there were a number of special events to celebrate the circuit’s centenary year.
Renowned for being the fastest circuit on the calendar, Monza is visited annually by the devoted tifosi, who were treated to an unexpected and hugely popular victory by Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc this year. The tifosi will no doubt be out in force again at the 2025 Italian Grand Prix, where Lewis Hamilton will be racing for Ferrari at Monza for the first time.

335,000 Fans Attend the 2024 Italian Grand Prix
Despite questionable organisation at the event in recent years, tickets for the 2024 Italian Grand Prix were in high demand. Approximately 335,000 fans attended over three days at Monza this year, and the tifosi were rewarded with a memorable victory for Charles Leclerc and Ferrari. Attendance at the 2024 Italian Grand Prix was an increase over the 304,000 fans through the gates over three days in 2023. With Lewis Hamilton moving to Ferrari in 2025, you can expect an even higher attendance at next year’s Italian Grand Prix!
How Much Does it Cost to Attend the 2025 Italian Grand Prix?
On average, tickets for the 2024 Italian Grand Prix were the sixth cheapest of the 24 races in the 2024 Formula 1 season. Despite increasing in price by 8.1% compared to last year, Monza still has some of the cheapest General Admission tickets on the current calendar. Tickets in other categories – such as grandstand seats and areas overlooking the pit lane – are also competitively priced compared to their other European counterparts.
We estimate that the average fan will spend around €1,116 ($1,223 USD) on a trip to the 2025 Italian Grand Prix, including 3-day grandstand tickets, a 3-night stay in a hotel in Milan plus daily spending money. For a full breakdown on what you can expect to spend, read this post: How Much Does it Cost to Attend the 2025 Italian Grand Prix?
Where to Stay
Monza is not as popular for trackside camping as some other races in Europe (especially Austria and Belgium), but several private campsites are located close to the circuit. Finding a place to stay in Monza and surrounding areas can be tough on race weekend, with most of the best accommodation reserved for teams and track workers. That’s why the majority of fans choose to stay in Milan, which has a wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets, as well as easier access to tourist activities, restaurants and nightlife. It’s also relatively easy to get from Milan to Monza via trains, buses and private transport. Other popular places to stay for the Italian Grand Prix include Bergamo and Lake Como, both of which are connected by trains to Monza on race weekend.

Getting to Monza for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix
Located 16km north of Milan’s city centre, Monza is accessible by car, taxi, train or other public transport. We recommend traveling by train, as the local roads can get busy over the race weekend. The Italian train operator Trenord offers several special daily train tickets to help you get from either Milan or other cities in the Lombardy region to Monza on race weekend.
Shuttle buses are available from both Monza station (Black Line) or nearby car parks (Blue Line). Bus services are also available and you can also buy parking tickets in advance for lots near the track. The Monza Circuit app has more information on public transport, trackside parking and more, as well as useful maps and directions for both getting to the circuit and around once you are inside. For more information on the pass and further details on public transport in the area, read this post: How to Get to Monza for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix
Trackside at Autodromo Monza
Work is underway to improve things trackside at Monza even further, with circuit bosses committing to a €20 million renovation plan for the track. The scheme is most likely part of a bid to secure the historic track’s long term future on the F1 calendar. Monza’s current contract to host the Italian Grand Prix expires after the 2025 Italian Grand Prix.
A new fan zone on the outside of the circuit between the Ascari and Parabolica corners was introduced in 2022 and has been improved at subsequent editions of the race. The drivers make a popular appearance on the stage in the fan zone during the weekend. Despite all the improvements, you should still be prepared to spend some time queueing over the weekend. Our advice is that if you have general admission access, arrive at the track as early as possible to secure the best viewing spots, especially on race day. Be aware that in recent years, circuit security have imposed a strict ban on bringing certain items into the venue.
Support Categories at the 2025 Italian Grand Prix
As well as soaking up the Formula 1 action, three support categories are confirmed for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix. Formula 2, Formula 3 and Porsche Supercup will be in action at Monza next year. Formula 3 and Porsche Supercup will be contesting the final rounds of their 2025 seasons at Monza. With both series featuring a large variety of winners and close racing, there’s always a good chance that both titles will be decided over the Italian Grand Prix weekend. You can find all the vital information about watching the race at Monza, including entry information, prohibited items, how to buy food and drink, and the all-important on-track session times, in this post: Trackside at Monza – 2025 Italian Grand Prix
Milan, Lombardy & Beyond
Close to the track, the local communities in Monza, Biassono and Vedano al Lambro held special events coinciding with the 2024 Italian Grand Prix weekend as part of the Fuori GP festival. These included live performances, interactive displays and food trucks each day and into the evening from Thursday August 29 to Sunday September 1. Details of local race weekend festivals have not yet been announced for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix.
As you’d probably expect, there are plenty of motorsport-related places to see during your visit to the 2025 Italian Grand Prix.

Hi, Is free Friday still happening this year?
I don’t believe it is, but I’m happy to be proven wrong. Have a look and report back for us:)
Hi, just found out about the train drivers strike on Friday. How do you recommend getting to / from the track from Milan without trains running :/
Many thanks.
Patrick
I still think there’s a very high chance that the trains from Milan to Monza will be running, despite the strike
Monza f1 2022 is the most disorganized shambles of a motor sports event I have ever been too. The ticket gates weren’t working so thousands of non ticketera were walking in. The beer water and food tokens ran out. Many were waiting over 2 hours to get a token to buy water or beer or food. Signposting, maps, viewing points for walkabout ticket holders were close to non existent and there were very few staff members to help. Vip may have been great but for normal fans this event should be avoided. I’ve attended over 30 f1 events previously. This shouldn’t be on the f1 calendar.
Any idea on how to get your money back from those ridiculous wrist bands for food and drinks. What a joke lined up multiple times and each vendor says that the wrist bands don’t work you need tokens ! Didn’t feel like wasting my time in a line for over in hour to get tokens then line up for food . What a joke! Not happy !
I believe there is a chance to get the money back, the company replied to someone to say that a refund system will be organized in the coming days. More info will be available on: streetfoodleague.it
We went to the Montel Carlo grand prix – after the race we stayed in town to dinner and activities. I am booking our return train from Monza to Milan – should I book the last train? are there activities and fun dining in Monza near the train station or should I head directly back to Milan for dinner
Please LMK
Hi Rita, I don’t think you need to book a specific return train. I think it’s a good idea to hang around near the track however, let the crowds die down. You’ll find some places to eat/drink in Monza, for sure. There are regular trains from Monza station back to Milan, and also the Z221 bus.
Do you know if there is a pit lane walk for three day ticket holders this year? Also do you know whether there is an autograph signing at any point over the weekend?
Thanks for the useful info on this page
No pit lane walk; it’s only for F1 Experiences guests on Thursday. All the info about the fan zone activities is in this article. There won’t be an autograph signing – too many people for that – but there will be driver appearances on the stage in the fanzone.
My son is having celiac disease and is therefore on a strict gluten free diet. Is there any gluten free food option, any gluten free food stand? In case not. Can we bring our own food (gluten free bread etc.)?
Is there a list of all the existing food stands with a list what they offer?
I have a question, how are the seats in grandstand 4? Is it just concrete/cement or there is a plastic chair with back?
Thanks
I think you have individual plastic seats with backs in Grandstand 4
GM, could you please tell me if the stand 4 has normal seats or just cement?
Do I need to bring a pillow with me?
Sorry, I can’t remember. Always a good idea to bring a seat cushion with you
Hi, are the seats in stand 6 normal seats or is it cement? Do I need to bring seat kussen?
Thanks
I think it’s a metal bar, but I can’t remember. Definitely worth bringing a seat cushion
Hi – great page, always very informative!
Few quick questions. I am travelling to Monza this weekend with my son and we are in 8B just for the Sunday race. I had presumed when purchasing the tickets that we could see the cars racing down the straight on the run up to the chicane but ive seen in other pics that there are big trees in the way, Do you know if we can we see the straight from 8B?
Also, on the Sunday if you get there early is there a chance to see the drivers arriving and try and get autographs? If so, what part of the circuit does all of that take place?
Finally, if you have a seat in grandstand 8 are you able to get on to the pit straight after the race for the podium celebrations etc?
Many thanks,
Mark.
I think it’s true that some seats may have reduced visibility down the straight due to the trees, it’s also a large grandstand and I’ve not sat there for a good few years. You will find out on Sunday. Sorry I can’t be more specific on this question.
It’s going to be hard to see the drivers and get an autograph on Sunday. More people and the drivers are focused on race day. You may see them arriving in cars at Gate A and then driving through the tunnel to the infield of the circuit, where they park and go into the paddock. But there will be lots of other people with same idea. Best chance you have is to get a glimpse of them.
Anyone at the track can go to the podium ceremony. I think they open up the track nearby – outside of the circuit, further down the straight. But if you want a better view, you need to go closer to the podium at least 10-15 laps before the end. You will see lots of other fans waiting.
Thanks for the info, greatly appreciated!
