This is my guide to the Uscita Parabolica grandstand 25 at the Monza Italian Grand Prix circuit.
It includes my tips on picking the bests seats, views, and tips on how to get tickets even when they’re sold out elsewhere.

Monza Grandstand 25 Uscita Parabolica location
At the Monza Italian Grand Prix circuit, grandstand 25 Uscita Parabolica (Exit of Parabolica) is on the left hand side of the track at the exit of the fast Parabolica corner, the final corner (Turn 11) on the circuit. The grandstand is also known as Tribuna Uscita Parabolica.
This stand is a small little grandstand tucked beneath the trees just to the left of the much larger grandstand 24. It’s right opposite one of the gantries that goes across the circuit, and to the left of this stand is the podium.
The nearest entrances to this stand are gates A and B which are a 5 minute walk away. But if you’re using one of the shuttle buses to get to the track these tend to drop off near gate G, and that’s more like a 30 minute walk.
To get to the main F1 fanzone from here (which is on the other side of the track between turns 10 and 11) you’d need to go through two tunnels crossing underneath both sides of the circuit. It would be a 15 – 20 minute walk.
If you want to join in the post-race track invasion, which a must-do at Monza, the nearest access point is actually inside the circuit adjacent to grandstand 23. So you’d need to leave your seat a few minutes early, walk through the tunnel and wait at the gate.
There’s a number of stands selling food and drinks directly behind this grandstand.
Grandstand details
Cover
Grandstand 25 is uncovered. You might get a little bit of shade from the trees behind it, but don’t count on it. Make sure you bring sun protection and dress according to the Italian GP dress code!
Seats
The seats are bench-style seats. They don’t have backrests (unless you get the back row).
TV screens
The only TV screen near this stand is on the other side of the track to the left of grandstand 23B. However, as the map below shows, this screen is a long way off to the right and will be nearly impossible to see from this stand.
So in all honesty you shouldn’t count on being able to see a screen from here. That’s probably part of the reason these seats are so cheap.
Monza Grandstand 25 Tickets
This is one of the cheapest grandstands at Monza for the F1 weekend, and that means tickets can often sell out. If that’s the case I’d recommend buying your tickets through ViaGoGo instead where there will be a good selection of tickets still for sale right up until the race itself.
And if you watch the ticket prices in the last days before the Grand Prix you might be able to find them for cheaper than official list price. That’s what I’ve managed to do previously.
I’ve used ViaGoGo for my Formula 1 ticket purchases over the last few seasons, including for my visits to the British, Belgian and Dutch Grand Prix. I’ve always had a great experience buying through them and won’t hesitate to use them again.
Additionally they have a strong ‘Fan Protect’ guarantee which will make sure your money and your tickets are protected – always good for extra peace of mind!
Monza Grandstand 25 Seating Plan
Below is the seating plan for Grandstand 25 Uscita Parabolica at Monza. Enter your name and email address in the boxes below, hit send and the hi-res seating charts will be sent to your inbox (the image files are too large to host on this page!).
The rows run from A at the front to I (‘eye’) at the back. Seat numbers begin at 1 on the left hand side of the stand and increase as you move to the right (if you stand on the track and look up a the seats). So the lower numbers are closer to T11 and the higher numbers are closer to the start line.
View
The image below shows the areas of the Monza circuit visible from this Uscita Parabolica grandstand in green:
As the map shows only a very small portion of the track is visible. All you will be able to see is the cars exiting the final corner and speeding past you at full throttle from right to left. Because of the trees, fencing and gantry you won’t have very good visiblity to the left so you’ll quickly lose them out of sight.
For the same reason you’ll struggle to see the podium from here at the end of the race. But you will be able to see the cars, drivers and team memers line up on the grid before the Grand Prix begins.
Best seats
If you do go for this stand I’d suggest going for the highest rows possible to get a better view over the armco and on to the track.
Is this a good place to sit?
Personally I don’t think grandstand 25 is a great place to sit. You’ll have a very limited view, very little shade from the sun and won’t be able to see a TV screen. That’s why these are pretty much the cheapest seats at the circuit.
If you still want a view of the start / finish straight and the exit of the Parabolica, I’d go for the covered Vedano grandstand instead which is directly adjacent to this one.
