The Belgian Grand Prix runs from 23 to 25 July 2027 at Spa-Francorchamps, a long circuit through the hills and forest of the Ardennes between the towns of Spa, Stavelot and Malmedy. The weather can change within minutes, and the circuit is far from any big city.

2 · Getting to Spa-Francorchamps

Brussels Airport is the usual arrival point, with trains to Liège and on to Verviers or Spa. On race weekend the promoter has organised shuttle buses and park and ride from the surrounding area; check its travel page for the 2027 options before you book a room.

Car parks around the circuit are spread over fields and can be a long walk from the grandstands, and muddy after rain. Save your parking and ticket details offline.

3 · Signal in the forest

Spa is seven kilometres of track with spectators spread along banks and clearings. In the woods and hollows coverage is naturally patchier, and at Eau Rouge and the main grandstands the crowd puts the same strain on the cells as any sold-out venue.

Download your e-ticket and the circuit map in your hotel, agree meeting points with friends, and carry a power bank. A rain radar app is worth having: check it while you have signal.

5 · What to do around the race
