Monza Grandstand and General Admission Guides
There are over 20 different grandstands to choose from at the Italian Grand Prix, held at the Monza circuit near Milan. Of these grandstands only a few are covered. Most are uncovered meaning you’ll be exposed to the heat of the Italian Sun.
General Admission at Monza is a pretty wild experience. Every viewing spot will be packed full of Ferrari fans and it can be a bit overwhelming. But if you’re up for it, it’s one of the purest F1 fan experiences you can get.
Below are my detailed guides to each of the grandstands and the general admission areas, including the separate Gradinate Interno Parabolica area. They include my tips on picking the best seats in the grandstands (and the seats to avoid), info on which ones have a roof, videos of the views from different spots, ticket information and more.
Alex’s top pick: Grandstand 26C is right in front of the podium, so for having the perfect seat to witness that iconic moment when tens of thousands of fans flood the track beneath the rostrum, that grandstand is the place to be. Plus it has a roof over the top, so if you go for rows F and up you’ll be in the shade most of the day too.
Alternatively, for a better view of some on-track action then you want to sit near the first chicane. For that I’d pick grandstand 6C for a perfect view of Turns 1 and 2. The grandstand is way above the ground anyway so the row doesn’t matter too much.
I have consistently used Viagogo for buying my Formula 1 tickets over the last few seasons and have always had a great experience doing so. I bought my Dutch, Belgian and British GP tickets through them recently.
They always have a great selection of 1, 2 or 3-day Italian Grand Prix tickets available, even if they’re sold out elsewhere. Plus you can often find a bargain if you keep your eyes peeled in the days leading up to the race weekend. They also have a very good ‘FanProtect’ guarantee which means your money and tickets will always be safe, which is good for added peace of mind!
