How to get to Rho-Fiera Milano: complete guide

If you’re planning a trip to Milan to attend an event, you’ll probably find it useful to know how to get to Rho-Fiera Milano, one of Italy’s and Europe’s leading exhibition centers.

Rho-Fiera hosts dozens of events, trade shows and conventions that attract visitors and professionals from all over the world. Its strategic location on the outskirts of Milan makes it easily accessible, but to ensure you get there quickly and comfortably, it is essential to know the different transportation options available. 

In fact, not all means of transport guarantee you the same level of privacy and comfort: let’s see together how to get to Rho-Fiera Milano in the most efficient way.

Where is Rho-Fiera Milano?

Rho-Fiera Milano is located in the northwestern suburbs of Milan, in the municipality of Rho, about 15 kilometers from the city center. 

Although it is outside the center of Milan, this exhibition center is strategically located near major road and rail hubs, and is accessible both to those arriving from Milan and to those arriving from other cities. 

Nearby landmarks include the A4 Turin-Trieste highway and the Tangenziale Ovest (Western Bypass) of Milan, making it easy to get there by car. There is also a railway station, Rho-Fiera Milano, which is served by regional and suburban trains and connects the city center with the main railway stations in Milan, such as Milano Centrale and Milano Porta Garibaldi. 

How to get to Rho Fiera: the options available

Milan Fiera di Rho can be reached by various means of transportation, both public and private. Regular public transport options include:

• Train
• Subway
• Bus

Speaking of non-scheduled public transportation, there are taxis and chauffeur-driven cars. 

Let’s see how to get to the show using each of these options.

How to get to Rho-Fiera by train 

One of the ways to get to Rho-Fiera Milano is by train.

Rho-Fiera Milano railway station is served by several lines, including regional, suburban and even some high-speed trains, providing fast and frequent connections to and from Milan and other Italian cities. 

If you are traveling from Milan, you can opt for regional trains that leave from Milano Centrale and Milano Porta Garibaldi and stop directly at Rho-Fiera Milano station. The service is quite frequent on weekdays, but thins out on holidays and weekends.

Another option is to take the suburban trains, such as the S5 (Varese-Treviglio) and S6 (Novara-Treviglio), which stop at the Rho-Fiera Milano station. 

Finally, if you are coming from other cities, some high-speed trains stop at Rho-Fiera Milano station, especially during major international events or fairs. 

How to get to Rho-Fiera by subway 

Another means of public transport to reach Rho-Fiera is the subway, used mainly by those coming from downtown Milan or other areas served by the subway. The M1 (red line) of the Milan subway connects the city directly to Rho-Fiera.

The Rho-Fiera station is the western terminus of the line and serves the fairgrounds directly; the station is located directly opposite the main entrance to Rho-Fiera Milano.

In general, except for special periods, the M1 line operates from early morning until late evening. During events, the subway is particularly crowded and it can be much more complicated to get around.

How to reach Rho-Fiera by bus

One of the last ways to get to Rho-Fiera by public transportation is by bus.

The bus is an option for those who prefer to use public transportation or are coming from areas not directly served by subway or train. There are several bus lines that connect the Rho-Fiera area with downtown Milan and other neighboring communities. These include the 73, 160 and 80 lines.

The duration of the bus trip to Rho-Fiera Milan varies depending on the starting point and traffic conditions. On average, the trip from the center of Milan can take between 30 and 50 minutes, depending on the line used and traffic (which is very heavy and localized during events on the “standard” routes followed by buses).

How to reach Rho-Fiera Milan by taxi 

Rho-Fiera can also be reached by taxi, with a direct transfer without changing vehicles or waiting. Taxis are available throughout Milan at designated taxi stands. However, note that during events there may be long waits and traffic may increase fares as they are strictly metered.
