This summer I will be attending both of these races & would appreciate your advice, please. First, I will be on a cruise ship in Stockholm & will need to leave it early & fly into Milan in time to be there for practice & qualifying. Which Milan airport is the right one for connections? Is there good train service between Milan & the track at Monza? Then, after the race at Spa, how is the best way to reach Amsterdam? Is there direct train service? Thank you very much for your assistance.
you preferably fly to milano-linate, there are shuttle services to milano center. see the map here:http://www.ilporticcioloviaggi.com/Home/lakeroute.html
There is no direct train service from Spa to Amsterdam. First go from Spa to Brussels. From Brussels there are several trains to Amsterdam.
LINATE OR MALPENSA ARE MORE OR LESS THE SAME. YOU HAVE A TRAIN FROM MALPENSA AIRPORT LINKING DIRECTLY TO THE MILAN TRAIN STATION. THEN THERE IS THE TRAIN TO MONZA. EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO SLEEP, IF YOU HAVE RESERVED PLACE TIKETS FOR THE RACE (IF NOT, BE THERE VERY EARLY...) AND OTHER CONDITIONS. LET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP. CIAO EUGENIO
Thanks for your help so far. Can anyone advise about likelihood of availability of rooms for my son & myself (and significant others) near Spa? Where is a practical place to look? Thank you
