Why Stay Near San Siro for BI-MU
Fiera Milano Rho is located northwest of Milan, and hotels near the fairgrounds sell out fast and charge premium prices during major exhibitions. The San Siro district offers a smart alternative: our apartments are near the Lotto metro station (M1 Red Line), which runs direct to Rho Fiera in approximately 25 minutes — no changes required.
For business travellers, this means:
- Direct metro connection — M1 from Lotto to Rho Fiera, ~25 min
- Lower cost than hotels near the fairgrounds
- Self check-in — arrive late, leave early, no reception hours
- Full kitchen — save on meals, work from home comfortably
- Close to Milan's centre — restaurants, nightlife, and culture all within reach
The Commute: Simple and Reliable
From our apartments, walk 10 minutes to Lotto station on Metro Line M1 (Red). Take the metro westbound — it runs direct to Rho Fiera without any changes. The journey takes about 25 minutes, with trains running every 3–5 minutes during peak hours. After a long day at the fair, you're home in under 40 minutes door-to-door.

Practical Tips for Attendees
Mid-October in Milan is pleasant — expect temperatures around 15–20°C. Business attire is standard at BI-MU. The fair runs 4 full days (Tuesday to Friday), so many attendees stay 3–4 nights. An apartment with a kitchen and workspace is far more practical than a hotel room for multi-day business trips.
