It was a frustrating experience for many fans last year. I sincerely hope the organizers learnt some things from last year’s debacle, but maybe nothing will change. Many circuits are having to respond to much larger crowds now, and Monza was not well prepared. Yes, arriving early is definitely a good idea. Taking the train to Monza or the metro to Sesto 1° Maggio FS followed by the Z221 bus are best options – in fact, I tried both out last week when I visited Monza! More info in this post.

Hi Andrew
What a coincidence :-)
Pictures look really good and I think we may go for this. Looking forward to your blog post.
Enjoy Monaco!

Hi Lars, you cannot walk the actual track as it is private and most days there are some kind of cars in action. However, you can visit the circuit and the Monza Park. In fact, I was there yesterday! It really is a beautiful park. You can go inside the circuit, in the middle there is a cool circuit shop. And you can walk on the northern part of the old banked circuit. Here you can see some of my photos from yesterday: https://imgur.com/a/txZ7e2z
I’m also going to write up my experience in a new blog post after I get back from Monaco, look out for it!

Thank you of course for your great site!

Best regards
Lars

Hi David, unfortunately it is hard to recommend any area in General Admission now at Monza. The experience in GA last year at Monza was very bad; lots of complaints. Two issues – first, they sold too many tickets. Second – many of the best GA areas were removed so that new grandstands could be added to the ticket offer. I think the best remaining area for GA, but it will be very busy, is on the inside of the two Lesmo corners at the top of the circuit.

The F1 festival in Milan was a special event, last held in 2019 I think. It’s not happening this year, sorry
