All about Castelletto di Branduzzo

When to visit

Known for its world-class autodrome, Castelletto di Branduzzo bustles during racing season, which runs from March to October. It’s especially busy during stretches of dry, clear weather, which is optimal for test runs. If you’re a racing fan, check the track’s schedule before coming. There are a number of races and other car- and motorcycle-related events in the spring and fall that draw both racing enthusiasts and gearheads.

Getting around

There is no public transportation to the Castelletto di Branduzzo autodrome from nearby towns and cities, so the only way to reach the track is by renting a car. The nearest town with car rental agencies is Pavia, which is located about an hour to the north. You can catch a train to Pavia from Milan or other other major northern city; car rental agencies are located in the city center.

Traveler tips

Just up the road from the Castelletto Circuit autodrome, the Sette Laghi go-kart track offers revved-up fun for gearheads too young to get behind the wheel of a racecar. Kids nine and up can zoom around the track to see how many laps they can clock during their eight-minute turn, then fuel up with lunch at the track’s restaurant before taking on the circuit again.

Rebecca Winke

The first thing you should do in Castelletto di Branduzzo is...

A perfect Saturday in Castelletto di Branduzzo...

is dedicated to one thing and one thing only: racing. Weekends here are all about the local track and the races and other events hosted most Saturdays and Sundays.

One touristy thing that lives up to the hype is...

To discover the "real" Castelletto di Branduzzo...
