Soak up the atmosphere at the iconic ‘Temple of Speed’ with an Official F1 Ticket or Ticket Package for the 2026 Italian Grand Prix.
One of the most legendary circuits in Formula 1, the iconic Autodromo Nazionale Monza Circuit in Northern Italy is, without doubt, one of the most exhilarating tracks on the entire calendar. With a lively atmosphere, close racing, and speeds in excess of 350km/h, a trip to Monza should be top of every F1 fan’s bucket list.
Tickets for the 2026 Italian Grand Prix on 4-6 September are available to book now with Grand Prix Events. Join us for a memorable weekend at Monza!
Why Monza Should be Top of Your F1 Travel Plans
Built over 100 years ago, Monza is steeped in history thanks to its longstanding place on the F1 calendar and deep-rooted association with Italy’s legendary team, Ferrari. The track has appeared on every World Championship calendar bar one since F1’s inaugural 1950 season, with Ferrari winning a record 20 times from the 75 races held so far at the track.
As the spiritual home of the ‘Tifosi’, Monza’s race day atmosphere is often regarded as one of the best in F1, and the Italian Grand Prix is one of the best-attended European races on the calendar. A particularly special moment is the post-race celebrations underneath the circuit’s unique podium, where the fans gather to celebrate the race winner; regardless of if they’re wearing red or not!
At just shy of six kilometres long, Monza features one of the longest straights in F1 and some of the highest top speeds of any circuit in world motorsport. Races here are fast and furious and there are few places that you’ll experience the thrill of impossible F1 speeds than here at Monza.
One of only two Grands Prix – along with the British Grand Prix – to have been a part of the F1 calendar every year since its inception, there’s simply no better place than the Italian Grand Prix for a pure blend of drama, passion and history.
The Best Way to Experience the 2026 Italian Grand Prix
Grand Prix Events is on sale with premium grandstand seating for this year’s race. Choose from a variety of viewing areas in the heart of the action. Our top pick is the Alta Velocita (6C) Grandstand, where you’ll see the cars in the brazing zone for Turn 1 – a major overtaking hot spot and the scene of potential drama on Sunday.
The Ascari Grandstand (16) overlooks the tricky Ascari Chicane; a challenging section of track for the drivers, particularly during qualifying on Saturday afternoon. The Uscita Ascari A Grandstand (18A) also has a view of this section of track as the drivers emerge onto the back straight.
The Laterale Parabolic A (21A) Grandstand gives a great view of the entry to the final, high-speed Parabolica turn at Monza, a pivotal point on the track.
Enjoy a high-end hospitality experience in the Race Club, with single day and 3-day tickets available for this exclusive viewing option. The two-story venue has an indoor lounge, where guests can enjoy pastries, cakes and other refreshments served throughout the day, plus special guest appearances.
