The 1000 Miglia is not just a motorsport competition; it is the world’s most iconic historic car race.
It is a cultural, sporting and lifestyle event that every year attracts collectors, entrepreneurs, automotive enthusiasts and international guests from all over the world.
Following the race means travelling through some of Italy’s most fascinating regions, experiencing the atmosphere of early-morning starts, paddock moments and evening arrivals in historic city centres.
An event that starts and ends in Brescia, yet unfolds across some of the most iconic Italian landscapes.
For many guests, the real difference lies not only in the cars on the road, but in how the entire experience is organised.
Experiencing the 1000 Miglia through a dedicated mobility service
Those wishing to enjoy the event smoothly and without compromises should begin planning well in advance.
As a general guideline:
-
January – February: defining dates, key stages, accommodation and mobility
-
March – April: confirming routes, transfers and transport solutions
-
May: final logistical adjustments and operational details
Many international guests prioritise mobility planning early on, when availability is still broad and solutions are more flexible.
Understanding the Route and Choosing the Right Stages
The route changes slightly each year, but always starts from Brescia and crosses historic cities and iconic territories.
Following the entire route can be fascinating, but it is not always necessary.
Many guests prefer selecting two or three key stages, alternating moments of racing action with more relaxed stays.
A well-designed plan allows you to:
-
avoid unnecessarily long transfers
-
reduce fatigue and stress
-
focus on the most scenic and meaningful locations
How to Move During the 1000 Miglia
Mobility is the element that most influences the overall quality of the experience.
Premium Short-Term Car Rental
Many guests choose high-end SUVs or grand tourers in order to enjoy:
-
comfort over long distances
-
easy access to event areas
-
full freedom of movement
A solution that combines independence with a high level of comfort.
Chauffeur-Driven Transfers (NCC)
For those who prefer not to drive themselves:
-
smooth transfers between stages
-
professional time management
-
the opportunity to experience the event entirely as a guest
This option is often chosen by those attending the race in a more institutional or social context, benefiting from dedicated routes and service-oriented access.
Private Aviation
When attending only selected stages, or combining the event with business or leisure commitments:
-
allows large distances to be covered in just a few hours
-
drastically reduces downtime
-
offers maximum flexibility in scheduling
Where to Stay: Strategy Before Hotels
Rather than selecting individual hotels night by night, it is more effective to think in terms of geographical bases.
Staying one or two nights in the same location and moving to nearby stages helps to avoid:
-
continuous hotel changes
-
daily luggage handling
-
logistical delays and check-in formalities
Experiencing the Race as a Guest, Not Just a Spectator
Following the 1000 Miglia means:
-
witnessing early-morning departures
-
observing the cars in the paddocks
-
experiencing evening arrivals in historic squares
-
accessing hospitality areas
The experience changes dramatically when you have the freedom and time to move comfortably and consistently.
Extending the Experience Beyond the Race
Many guests turn the event into a broader journey across Italy and neighbouring regions:
-
Lake Garda before or after the start
-
Franciacorta
-
Tuscany
-
The Dolomites
-
Emilia-Romagna
-
Austria
A way to combine motorsport, territory and relaxation.
In these cases, mobility remains central to maintaining the same level of quality even outside the race itself.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
underestimating real travel distances
-
planning too many stages
-
changing hotels every night
-
relying on unsuitable transport solutions
-
leaving logistics to the last minute
Who This Experience Is Designed For
For those who:
-
appreciate historic motorsport
-
regularly travel at a premium level
-
value comfort and precise organisation
-
wish to experience the event with balance between emotion and quality time
Not for those simply looking for “a day trip”.
