Mexico F1 Grand Prix Travel Guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How to get to the Mexico City F1 Grand Prix?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Both Mexico City International Airport and the Aut\u00f3dromo Hermanos Rodr\u00edguez are in the heart of the capital. The busiest airport in the country is a route with major airports across the world: London-Heathrow, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris, Madrid and JFK in New York among some. Flights from Europe will take around 10-12 hours direct, while flights are also available from various US airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you touch down in Mexico, it couldn\u2019t be easier to get to the circuit. If you were to head directly to the track from the terminal, you could walk in less than an hour. Just 5km from the airport, the circuit is in a very central location, and just another 5km from the historic centre of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to stay for the Mexico F1 Grand Prix<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mexico City is the fifth most-populous city in the entire world. As a result, there are plenty of neighbourhoods and areas to explore in Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best for newcomers to the city is Roma. The residential area is authentic Mexican, packed with shops, bars, cafes and parks, as well as some great hotels. Check out the Brick Hotel<\/a> or Hotel Hipster for some great places to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For families, Juarez is the best area. While the nightlife may be vibrant, the streets are calm and pleasant during the daytime. While the Four Seasons<\/a> is a classic luxury hotel, and one of the best in the city, Suites PF<\/a> is an affordable middle-priced option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attractions around Mexico City<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mexico City is home to some stunning architecture. The Palacio de Bellas Artes is a striking white marble palace, home to an art museum and performance hall, built in the 1930s. With the Grand Prix weekend falling on D\u00eda de Muertos (\u2018Day of the Dead\u2019), there will be plenty of performances and celebrations to check out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00eda de Muertos<\/em> is a holiday where Mexicans get together to remember and celebrate the lives of lost loved ones. So it couldn\u2019t be a better time to visit, as Mexicans know how to celebrate. When Mexico beat Germany at the 2016 World Cup, the celebrations triggered a \u2018seismic\u2019 event that registered on earthquake detectors. We\u2019d recommend heading downtown to soak in the atmosphere of the parade \u2013 which was inspired by the opening scene of James Bond film Spectre. You could also head to the main square (Zocalo) to appreciate the grand ofrendas, which are altars that honour the dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other great things to check out year-round and on Mexico F1 weekend are the Floating Gardens of Xochimilco. Here you can rent a boat and travel along the river, enjoying drinking traditional pulque and enjoying the music of mariachi bands floating on by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best grandstands for the Mexico F1 Grand Prix<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Two of the most iconic grandstands in the F1 calendar, let alone at this circuit, just so happen to be two of the most affordable options. The Foro Sol North<\/a> and South<\/a> grandstands make up the famous stadium arena. Not only do you get a perfect view of the cars as they navigate their way between the two stands, but this is where the party gets going during the huge podium celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, the four Gold grandstands<\/a> are situated at the end of the long straight. This makes them the perfect vantage point for first-lap chaos, which we\u2019ve seen at Mexico before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is there to do trackside at the Mexico City Grand Prix?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As is customary with modern Formula 1 events, there\u2019s plenty going on around the Mexico F1 circuit. This includes the fanzone stage, which will host appearances from drivers throughout the weekend. Fans will also get the chance to put their skills against their friends with the Esports zone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
