The GRID Hotel is on site. Brno, a short drive east, is the city base with the most hotels, linked to the circuit by tram and bus. On a big race weekend Brno fills first.
The circuit has seated stands and natural stands, the grass banks on the hillsides that give a view down over long parts of the lap. Grandstand T3 is reached through an underpass. Folding chairs and compact umbrellas are allowed on the natural stands, but umbrellas are not allowed in the seated stands. Which stands open varies by event.
Facilities
The GRID Hotel and the Grid restaurant are on site. Under the circuit's visitor rules, visitors may bring up to 1.5 litres of water in a plastic bottle and small cold snacks in one bag of up to 1 litre; alcohol, glass, cans, grills, bikes, scooters and ladders are not allowed. Personal cameras, phones and binoculars are fine, professional camera gear is not. Animals are not allowed.

The track
The Masaryk Circuit (Automotodrom Brno) is a permanent circuit in wooded hills west of Brno, by the D1 motorway near Ostrovacice. The lap is 5,403 m long and 15 m wide, with 14 corners (8 right, 6 left) and 73.75 m of elevation change, so the track rises and falls the whole way round. Much of the spectator area is natural grass banking on the hillsides, plus seated stands, and the GRID Hotel and restaurant sit on site.
