Imola town has hotels within reach of the circuit. Bologna is the city for more choice, linked by train and the A14. On a WEC or historic weekend the town fills first.
At the Grand Prix, Formula 1 picks the stand on the outside of Acque Minerali, where the drivers struggle to slow the cars for the tight right hander after a fast entry.

The track
Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari sits on the edge of the town of Imola in Emilia Romagna. The foundation stone was laid in March 1950 and racing started in 1953. The lap is 4.909 km and runs anticlockwise, and the operator describes it as technical and demanding, with tricky corners and high speed straights. The named corners on the operator's map are the Variante Tamburello, the Variante Villeneuve, Tosa, Piratella, Acque Minerali, Rivazza and Gresini. After the fast entry and tight right of Acque Minerali the lap climbs back up the hill to the Variante Alta chicane. It hosts the FIA WEC and car and bike racing through the year, held 27 Formula 1 Grands Prix up to 2006, and has held the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix since 2020. A monument to Ayrton Senna stands in the park near Tamburello.
