Salone del Mobile 2027 runs from 13 to 18 April 2027 at Fiera Milano in Rho, and the citywide Fuorisalone programme is listed for 12 to 18 April. The general public can enter the Salone on 17 and 18 April; trade visitors have access for the whole run.

These are the dates and rules published by the organisers. We read the Salone del Mobile and Fuorisalone websites on 6 October 2026, and details can still change, so check them before you book travel.

The 2027 edition is the 65th and includes Euroluce, the biennial lighting exhibition, and the debut of Salone Contract, with SaloneSatellite and Salone Raritas among the other exhibitions. The previous edition ran from 21 to 26 April 2026, so the dates move from year to year. Source: Salone del Mobile.Milano. Ticket prices were not published on the page we read: see the Admissions and tickets section of the site.

Fuorisalone 2027

Fuorisalone.it lists Fuorisalone 2027 for 12 to 18 April, with the theme "Design In Relation". Fuorisalone is the set of events spread across Milan that coincide with the Salone. According to its own site it began spontaneously in the early 1980s, has no central organisation and is not managed by any institution; Fuorisalone.it has been the official guide to the events since 2003.

Salone vs Fuorisalone: what is the difference?

  • Where: the Salone is at the Rho fairgrounds, outside the city. Fuorisalone events are inside Milan.
  • Who runs it: the Salone is the official fair. Fuorisalone has no central organiser.
  • How you get in: the Salone has ticket and registration rules by visitor category. For each Fuorisalone event, check the entry rules on its own listing.

Districts to know

Fuorisalone programmes are grouped by area. Zona Tortona is described by the Fuorisalone site as the first project of its territorial branding, and Brera and Isola are also well-known districts. The 2027 event map is published on Fuorisalone.it, so use it to pick the zones that match your plans before you choose a base.

Where to stay for Milan Design Week

Decide first how you will split your time. If most of your days are at the fair in Rho, choose a base with an easy connection to the fairgrounds, which are served by the M1 metro and by rail (see the "How to get there" page on the Salone site). If you are following Fuorisalone events, choose a base near the districts you want to see and plan to travel to Rho on your Salone days. For a comparison of areas, read our guide to the best neighborhoods in Milan.

An apartment gives you room to spread out materials and a kitchen. Check our Milan apartments for 13 to 18 April 2027 by entering your dates: the price and availability shown for those dates are the real ones. For the working side of the week, see tips for buyers and designers.

Practical tips for the week

  • Check the registration and ticket rules for your visitor category on the Salone website before you travel.
  • Wear comfortable shoes: the fairgrounds and the city events both involve a lot of walking.
  • Use the Fuorisalone.it guide to build your route by district and avoid crossing the city several times a day.
  • Reserve restaurants early for evenings, as the city is busy during the week.
