What Are Typical Costs and Availability in September?

- Accommodation: Without F1, estimated prices for a mid-range hotel or B&B could range from €80-€180 per night. If F1 is scheduled, prices can significantly increase, potentially exceeding €300-€500+ per night, and availability becomes extremely limited. Booking well in advance is critical in either scenario.

However, if the F1 event is scheduled, Monza experiences extremely high crowd levels, particularly around the Autodromo Nazionale Monza and in the city center, transforming the atmosphere significantly. The primary event to be aware of is the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix. Conditions are generally ideal for exploring on foot or by bicycle, with comfortable temperatures and adequate daylight.
