The 5 best spots in Milan to watch Sanremo Festival 2026 After all, why not watch it with some company?

The Sanremo Festival finale has always been an unmissable event for Italians, and the tradition has always been to gather together and watch it as a group. It's clear, however, that with homes getting smaller and TVs becoming less common in domestic furnishings, many people now prefer to follow the Festival finale as if it were a football match—and therefore in some public venue. And who knows? Maybe watching the finale away from home could be an opportunity to dive into city life and turn the live broadcast into a truly collective experience.

From university districts to cultural centres and bars, Milan is full of places where people come together to watch the broadcast. That's why HousingAnywhere, Europe's leading platform dedicated to student rentals, has put together a list of perfect locations to watch the 2026 Sanremo finale together—we've made a few small tweaks. Here they are.

1. Sanremelody @ Bar Doria

For the third edition, Melodyseialtop and nss G-Club join forces for Sanremelody. The penultimate evening, the one with the covers, will turn into a night full of karaoke and, of course, the delicious Bomba Fragola from Bar Doria. When you're tired of singing and drinking, you can also grab the exclusive Melodyseialtop merch signed by nss edicola. And this year it's really insane.

 2. Ostello Bello

Ostello Bello is a true Milan classic, in both of its locations—depending on whether you live north or south. For some time now, all Italian Ostello Bello venues have dedicated a full cycle of themed evenings throughout the Festival. You can expect big screens, karaoke, quizzes, and even the presence of real comedians who will entertain the audience with their sharpest jokes. If you want to take part, remember to reserve your table in advance.

Via Roberto Lepetit, 33   / Via Medici 3-4

3. Mare Culturale Urbano

For the eighth year in a row, the cultural centre in the San Siro area is organising Sanremo Culturale Urbano, which this year, for all three evenings, will be hosted by drag queens La Wanda Gastrica and Peperita together with author Elisa del Mese. The fun part is that the audience will be asked to act as the popular jury and judge both the songs and the contestants' outfits.

Via Quinto Cenni, 11 

4. Yellowsquare Milano

In Porta Romana, at Yellowsquare, the cover night will become SanreMix together with comedians Serena Bongiovanni, Gabriele Rota and Antonio Ricatti. The February 28 finale, on the other hand, will turn into Sanremo da Scrocco, organised in collaboration with the Instagram page Milano da Scrocco. Big screen so you don't miss a single note, karaoke to let out the excitement (or frustration) between one vote and the next, quizzes, beers and snacks. For both evenings, you'll need to purchase your ticket on DICE.

5. Arci Bellezza

If you're looking for an event that mixes emotion, live music and that warm feeling of a historic Milanese club, you can't miss Sanremo Bellezza 2026 at Arci Bellezza. From 8 pm on Saturday, February 28 (and already from Friday the 27th), the place fills up with friends ready to experience the finale on the big screen, hosted with flair by the live Orchestra Disco Pianobar who will run the show. There are surprise special guests, passionate collective comments and a festive atmosphere that makes everyone feel part of something unique.
