Discover the history and secrets of this place with our audio guide.
TT Circuit Assen does not have a fixed daily sightseeing schedule like a museum; access depends on the events being held. The best option is to check the official events calendar on its website to see what is happening and whether guided tours are available. To get there, you can use public transport or your own car; it is well signposted in Assen.
Generally, access to the facilities without an event does not have a standard admission fee, but direct access to the track is not always possible. To attend an event, ticket prices vary greatly depending on the type of event and competition. I recommend checking prices and buying your tickets in advance on the official website to get the best prices and secure your place.
If your visit coincides with an event, the time will depend on what you want to see: some races last all day. If you only want to explore the surroundings or the museum, if there is one, one or two hours may be enough. Ideally, check the schedule for the specific event to plan your visit.
TT Circuit Assen is known as the 'Cathedral of Motorcycling' and is the only circuit to have hosted a Motorcycle World Championship Grand Prix every year since 1925. It is a place with a rich history and special meaning for two-wheel enthusiasts, where legends have been made. Its tradition makes it a global icon.
The best time to visit if you are a motorsport fan is during the Dutch MotoGP Grand Prix, but keep in mind that it will be very crowded and prices will be higher. If you prefer to avoid crowds and only want to see the circuit, I recommend visiting on a training day or during a smaller test event, or in the off-season, always checking the online calendar to avoid surprises.
Yes, TT Circuit Assen makes an effort to be accessible. There are designated areas for people with reduced mobility with good visibility, accessible restrooms, and specific parking areas. I recommend contacting the circuit directly before your visit (Phone: +31 592 380 400) to confirm the specific details depending on the event or area you wish to visit.
Assen and its surroundings offer several alternatives. You can visit the Drents Museum in the city, which has collections of art, history, and archaeology. If you enjoy nature, Dwingelderveld National Park is relatively close and is ideal for a walk.
To make the most of your visit, especially if it coincides with an event, I advise arriving early to find parking and avoid queues. Wear comfortable clothes and suitable footwear, as you will do quite a bit of walking. Consider bringing hearing protection if you are attending a motorsport event, and always check the latest news and schedule on the official website.
