The show is located at Fiera Milano in Rho (SS del Sempione, 28). There are several ways to go there. The easiest: by uber/cab or by using your vehicle. However, if you are using Milanese public transportation, there is a 30-minute subway from the city center on the M1 red line. Make sure to purchase a standard ticket since you’ll be riding the train to the very last stop. To ease things up, buy a round-trip ticket so that you don’t have to wait in line again after a long day of walking around the fair.
