What time do gates open, and when do track sessions start?

Gates typically open 3 hours before the first track session (8am for an 11am practice). Full schedules are released closer to the event. Friday features practice, Saturday qualifying, and Sunday’s main race.

Is there re-entry if I leave the circuit?

No, once you leave, you cannot re-enter, so plan accordingly. You can freely leave your grandstand, or walk around the general admission area. Just not the track.

How do I get to the circuit using public transportation?

Take the RENFE train from Barcelona-Sants or Plaça Catalunya to Montmeló station (20-minute ride), then a 15-minute walk. Shuttle buses also run from Montmeló to the circuit entrance on race days.

Is parking available, and is it included in ticket prices?

Yes, on-site parking is available for ~€20–€30/day, but it’s not included with tickets. Book early—spaces fill fast! Off-site parking with shuttle access is a cheaper alternative.

Grandstand vs. general admission: pros and cons

Grandstand Tickets offer a premium, hassle-free F1 experience. With guaranteed seating at iconic spots like Turn 1’s braking battles or the Main Grandstand’s pit-lane theatrics, you’ll witness key moments without jostling for space. Elevated views, shaded seats, and big screens keep you comfortable and informed, while perks like VIP access or paddock tours add exclusivity. However, the higher cost (up to €1,500+ for Main Grandstand) and structured environment might feel less immersive for fans craving the raw energy of the crowd.

General Admission trades comfort for freedom and affordability. For a fraction of the price, roam the circuit’s grassy banks, stake out prime spots like Campsa Corner’s speed zone, and soak up the festival-like vibe with passionate fans. The trade-offs? No reserved seating means early arrivals and endurance-testing sun exposure. Views can be obstructed, and amenities are basic—but the thrill of discovering your own vantage point and sharing cheers (or groans) with fellow fans creates an authentic, communal F1 experience. Choose Grandstand for curated luxury or GA for adventurous spontaneity—either way, Barcelona’s roar will stick with you.

Tips for attending the Spanish Grand Prix

Prime spots in GA areas go fast. Arriving by 9am gives you great options.
If you're in GA, a portable chair or cushion makes a big difference.
If you take the R2/R11 from Barcelona to Montmeló, buy tickets in advance to skip long queues.
To avoid the crowds at Montmeló station the Spanish Grand Prix weekend though, we recommend using Granollers Centre station as an alternative. The walk from Granollers Centre to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is longer, approximately 30-45 minutes, but being a larger station, it’s got many more facilities and will be easier to beat the crowds.
If you're in GA, a portable chair or cushion makes a big difference.
Leaving the circuit can be chaotic—wait an hour after the race or explore nearby areas to avoid the rush. You can actually walk on the track!
Stay back to also take pictures. You get stunning mountain views from the track.
Locate your closest water station and mist fan. It helps when the temperature are high!
