Which grandstands are best at Mugello?

The Centrale grandstand overlooks the start/finish straight and pit lane. The Correntaio grandstand on the back straight is spectacular for pure speed — bikes at 300+ km/h braking for the San Donato chicane. The Biondetti section has great views of the Arrabbiata corners. General Admission hillside areas give panoramic views of multiple sectors.

Is Florence worth visiting during MotoGP weekend?

Absolutely — Florence is one of the world's great art cities and 45 minutes from the circuit. The Uffizi Gallery, Duomo, and Ponte Vecchio are unmissable. Book Uffizi tickets in advance (uffizi.it). Best visited Thursday before the race or Monday after.

Where should I stay for Mugello MotoGP?

Accommodation in the Mugello valley (Scarperia, Borgo San Lorenzo, Barberino) fills 4–6 months ahead. Agriturismi (farm stays) are the most atmospheric option. Florence (45 km) has far more hotel stock and is a practical base with a hire car or shuttle.

Where to Stay in Mugello

Brembo Grand Prix of Italy · 2026-05-31

Race weekends sell out fast. Here's where to stay near Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello — from party-central neighbourhoods to quieter spots with easy transport links.

Neighbourhoods

🏨

Mugello Valley (Scarperia, Borgo San Lorenzo, Barberino)

Staying in the valley is the most immersive race weekend experience. Scarperia e San Piero (3 km from circuit) has agriturismi and B&Bs that fill months in advance. Borgo San Lorenzo (10 km) is the valley's main town with a handful of hotels — Hotel Il Fiorino and local B&Bs. Barberino di Mugello (15 km, near the A1 motorway exit) has more options and is popular with teams. Book 4–6 months ahead for MotoGP weekend — the valley accommodation stock is limited and sells out early.

🏨

Agriturismi (Farm Stays)

The Mugello countryside is dotted with beautiful agriturismi — working farms offering rooms and breakfast. Often the best-value option and genuinely memorable. Many provide dinner with their own olive oil and wine. Search on agriturismo.it or booking.com filtering for Mugello. Essential to book very early.

🏨

Florence City Centre

Florence (45 km south) offers much larger accommodation stock and the full city experience. Hotel Brunelleschi, Hotel Santa Croce, and dozens of Airbnb options across every budget. Commute to the circuit by hire car or official shuttle. Excellent for arrival/departure days when you want proper city dining and sightseeing.

💡

Booking Strategy

Book accommodation 4–6 months ahead

Mugello MotoGP is Italy's home race and the most popular on the calendar for Italian fans. Valley accommodation within 20 km of the circuit sells out faster than almost any other MotoGP round. Set a reminder and book as soon as you commit to going.

Book Uffizi tickets well in advance

The Uffizi Gallery in Florence requires advance booking — especially in late May when tourist season is peaking alongside MotoGP weekend. Book at uffizi.it or via GetYourGuide. Without a booking, queues can be 2+ hours.
