I chose a route east of Monza using the A51, SP45, SP7, and SP135 through Bruno and Peregallo. The 204 bus travels from Monza Corso Milano (near Monza Railway Station) and goes to Vedano al Lambro (the Vedano entrance gate) and the 221 bus goes from the same place to the Biassono entrance of the circuit. Better to take the train. I live in Vedano (one of the main entrance), and I know very well the surrondings of Monza GP (and how to avoid traffics and closed roads to move faster). Do You think that i would have enough time to get to the circuit?
