Starting with the Australian Grand Prix in March and concluding with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in December, F1 visits five of the world’s seven continents over the course of the year.
Among these, some Grand Prix races make for fantastic city breaks. The inaugural Grand Prix in Madrid, the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest, and the races in both Barcelona and Zandvoort, just a short journey from Amsterdam, are perfect for soaking up European culture during the summer months. Beyond Europe, the Canadian Grand Prix in Montréal, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku, and the Mexican Grand Prix in Mexico City each bring a unique blend of history, culture, and excitement alongside world-class F1 circuits. During race week, downtown Montréal buzzes with energy, drawing huge crowds of passionate fans. The Azerbaijan Grand Prix is part street circuit, part high-speed thriller, set in a city where ancient stone walls meet glass towers. It’s a race where anything can happen, and often does.

For fans who prefer the charm and history of traditional old-school racing circuits, consider attending the Belgian, Hungarian, British, Italian, or Austrian Grand Prix. The Red Bull Ring might be one of the shortest tracks on the F1 calendar, but it delivers in a big way. From steep climbs to blind apexes and heavy braking zones, this track keeps drivers on their toes and fans on the edge of their seats. Even though it's newer, the Circuit of the Americas in Austin has an old-school feel, inspired by some of the best racing circuits in the world. The atmosphere helps too. Drivers often name it among their favourite stops on the calendar.

If it’s unforgettable spectacle you’re after, the Abu Dhabi and Singapore Grands Prix under floodlights should be on every F1 fan's bucket list. Nowhere is this more striking than in Singapore, where the city lights up at night as Formula 1 cars roar through the streets, past grandstands packed with fans and skyscrapers glowing in the background. From the racing to the atmosphere, it’s a weekend that stands out for all the right reasons.

And of course, Monaco. Despite all the glamour, the Monaco Grand Prix remains one of the most demanding and unforgiving races on the calendar. Narrow streets, sharp elevation changes, and no room for error make it a true test of skill and precision. For drivers, it’s the race they most want to win. Whether you’re trackside in the grandstands or clinking glasses on a balcony above, Monaco delivers a one-of-a-kind atmosphere every single year.

For those thinking about a longer adventure, why not combine your Grand Prix experience with a tour of Australia, Japan, or Canada? For something extra special in Canada, travel through the Canadian Rockies on the Rocky Mountaineer. Even the Las Vegas Grand Prix provides a great base for exploring iconic American national parks like the Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce Canyon. Extending your stay around race weekend can also help cut travel costs. Flights often spike just before and after the Grand Prix, so staying a bit longer can save money and give you time to unwind.

A Formula One Grand Prix can also be paired with a stunning beach holiday. The Mexican, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore Grands Prix are gateways to some of the world's best beaches, including those on the Riviera Maya, Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles, Bali, Thailand, and Malaysia. Perfect for relaxing on a beautiful beach after an exhilarating race weekend. Finally, for those who want to catch multiple races, there are some great doubleheader opportunities. Pair the Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix, or the US Grand Prix in Austin with the Mexican Grand Prix in Mexico City.
