Or does it matter if we go to north east etc. The local traffic was very bad all weekend. Or will it be for campers only? On all 3 days the car park was barely half full. Also where is the entrance to the paddock as I may have some paddock passes coming my way? The Monza circuit is one of the oldest F1 circuits. Tough decision! And how to we cross to the inside of the track? Sorry, I dont know for sure. We walked the track for pictures, and after about an hour felt it would be safe to head back.

The train from Milan Central Railway station to the Monza Station (Stazione di Monza) takes just 15 minutes. The Biassono Lesmo station is also an option on Friday and Saturday, but on those days you have to go from Porta Garibaldi and not Milano Centrale, Hi where would you recommend to stand for general admission. We must have arrived just after a train had arrived and we went to the back of the queue whilst others arriving by car or taxi later just joined the front. This means less walking and should be a better arrival/departure from the track. Is there any parking space for motorcycles? History [ edit] The station was officially opened on 17 August 1840, as the terminus of the Milan-Monza railway, which was the first railway built in Lombardy and the second in Italy, after the Naples-Portici railway.

When the train arrived in Monza, you could see a lot of people on the platform (not sure if they have crowd control there), and quickly enough the train filled up with many people standing. There are buses from Sesto San Giovanni direct to Monza, and I think you can stay on after the bus stops at Monza station and get closer to the track, Great website, thank you.
