Milan Guides
Hotel near Rho FieraWhich one to choose.
How to reduce travel during trade fairs and congresses without giving up the services of the city.
During the Salone del Mobile, EICMA and other major trade fairs, staying immediately beside the exhibition halls can be expensive and less practical in the evening.
A base in north-west Milan allows you to reach Rho Fiera quickly while still having restaurants, shops and neighbourhood services available when you return.
Certosa District
The most suitable HÕMA base for Rho Fiera, MIND and companies in north-west Milan.
Morning departure
Allow extra time during fairs: trains and metro services can become very crowded.
Tickets
Check the fare zone and purchase the correct ticket through ATM.
Booking
For major events, booking well in advance is recommended.
Practical guide
The information you actually need.
Why choose Certosa
- It reduces the journey to the exhibition centre compared with central districts.
- It is outside the central restricted-traffic zones and is easier for guests arriving by car.
- It offers a more complete neighbourhood environment than the area immediately surrounding the exhibition halls.
- It is also practical for MIND, Galeazzi, MiCo and Portello.
Check the exact connection from the property and any temporary service changes during the event.
Planning your day at the fair
- Purchase your transport ticket before peak travel time.
- Leave early, particularly on the first day and during the busiest mornings.
- Save your entrance and hall number on your phone: the exhibition centre is very large.
- If you have appointments in central Milan after the fair, plan a break before travelling.
The best travel times depend on the event; always check the official event website and ATM services.
Certosa or Spiga?
- Certosa is the better option when the trade fair is the main purpose of the trip.
- Spiga works better if you alternate days at the fair with meetings, shopping or visits to the historic centre.
- For a longer business stay, choose the area that reduces your most frequent journey rather than the most famous address.
Both allow you to experience Milan, but they serve different logistical priorities.
