The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is one of the oldest and most celebrated motor racing circuits in the world, built in 1922 within the grounds of Monza Park. The circuit's combination of long straights and fast chicanes makes it the quickest track on the Formula 1 calendar, and the Italian Grand Prix held here each September is one of the sport's most atmospheric events — the tifosi who pack the grandstands for Ferrari are among the most passionate fans in any sport.
Outside race weekends, the circuit is open for guided visits that take in the pit lane, the paddock, and the famous banked oval — a remnant of the original 1955 high-speed track still visible within the park. You can walk or cycle around the outer perimeter of the circuit through the woodland at any time. In the weeks approaching the Italian Grand Prix, the area buzzes with preparation activity and the sound of engine testing carries across the whole park.
