Getting Around Rho
Buy a 24-hour ATM tourist ticket (€7) if you plan multiple bus/metro trips. Bus Z118 is infrequent; check timetable at ATM Milano or use Google Maps transit – walking is often faster (15 mins flat).
Buy tickets online at Trenord or via app – validate before boarding. From Rho Fiera station, head south on Via Carducci; the hotel is near the central square. Tram line 1 runs every 10 mins if you're laden with bags.
The metro only reaches Rho Fiera station, not the centre. For the hotel, get off at Rho Fiera and either walk 15 mins along Via Nazioni or catch bus Z118 (hourly, 5 mins) to Piazza Visconti – check ATM app for real-time.
Book via Free Now or a local taxi app to avoid airport surcharges. Confirm the address Via XX Settembre area—drivers know Rho Fiera station but check the exact street.
