When is the 2027 Italian Grand Prix?

28–30 May 2027 at Mugello. The race is on Sunday 30 May, the sprint on Saturday 29 May.

Should I stay in Florence or the valley?

The valley if you are a group and book early; Florence if you are two people booking late. The drive is the same either way, but Florence still has rooms in February.

Effectively yes. The alternative is the train to Borgo San Lorenzo and a taxi, which works but costs more than a hire car across three days.

Is camping an option?

It is the Italian answer and the cheapest one: the hills around the circuit fill with tents from Thursday. Bring everything with you, including water.

How bad is the traffic?

The valley roads are two lanes. Arriving before 08:00 and leaving after the podium, or well before the end, is the difference between a drive and a standstill.

Our verdict

Go: Saturday and Sunday; Friday only if you want the circuit to yourself
Stay: Florence
Book by: November 2026 for a villa in the valley, February 2027 for Florence

Mugello has no town attached to it: the circuit sits in a valley of farmhouses an hour north of Florence. That makes this a choice between renting a house with a group six months out, or treating Florence as the base and driving in each morning.

Illustration: a Tuscan hillside racing circuit in late spring, cypress trees above the banking, crowds on the grass, hazy warm light — Illustration — a generated image of the kind of scene, not a photograph of the venue.

Which days to go

Day	What happens	Hotel price	Our call
FridayFri 28 May	Free practice and Practice, the session that decides who skips Q1	×1.5	The day to walk the hill at Arrabbiata and pick where you will sit on Sunday
SaturdaySat 29 May	Qualifying and the Tissot Sprint	×2	The best value day of the three — both sessions matter and the traffic is survivable
SundaySun 30 May	Race day; the Italian crowd on the hills is the reason to come	×2.4	Leave the valley before the race ends or plan on two hours in the queue

Hotel price is what the same hotel costs on these dates against its rate four weeks before the event. Crowd and price are our estimates from how the event has run, not live rates.

Getting there

Florence Peretola is the closest airport, but Bologna has more flights and the drive is barely longer. Either way, hire a car: there is no public transport to the circuit worth the name.

From Florence the route is the SR65 over the Futa pass or the A1 and SP551 — both beautiful, both single-file on Sunday morning. Leave two hours for a 45-minute drive on race day.

By train you can reach Borgo San Lorenzo from Florence, which puts you 25 minutes from the gates by taxi — the only realistic car-free plan.
