In short
- Rho Fiera is reached on the red M1, terminus Rho Fiera, with a standard city ticket.
- Staying in Rho is only convenient for the fair: in the evening you're far from Milan. A city neighbourhood on the M1 gives you both.
- From Portello, Rho Fiera is about 35 minutes door to door.

Stay in Rho or in the city?
In Rho and the surrounding towns you’ll find hotels near the halls and apartments in nearby villages. That works if you spend every day at the fair and only want to sleep at night. The price: in the evening you’re outside Milan, and many places “near the fair” are actually several kilometres away and only reachable by car.
In the city, on a direct line, you get to the fair by metro and spend your evenings in Milan: dinner, a walk in the centre, a meeting with a client. For Rho Fiera the line that matters is the red M1, which runs to its terminus inside the exhibition centre.
Tips for fair week
- Book early: in the weeks of the biggest fairs prices rise across the whole city.
- Leave early in the morning: between 8 and 9 the M1 towards Rho is packed.
- Ticket: Rho Fiera is covered by the city ticket, just tap a contactless card at the gates.
- Keep your evenings for Milan: that’s the point of staying in the city.
