I am attending the Big 4 concert (Metallica, etc) July 6 in Milan. It is at the "Arena Concerti Fiera Milano-Rho" noted on the tickets. I have NO clue how to locate that, and have no direct address. I've gotten some tips on Facebook. Does any one know where this is? Any tips on hotels nearby? Thank you! Joy
I tried Google maps and that wasn't much help. Mostly it came up with Milan hotels with the word Fieri or Arena in the name. There is a town named Rho outside of Milan, to the northwest. Maybe it is there?
Cool, Lola and thanks a bunch, I will try that. Like you, I did the Google map deal and no luck. Thanks for your input. : )
Is it an outdoor arena? That should be visible. Last summer I found a place we were looking for in the Tuscan countryside, which was mis-located by Google maps, by zooming in on "satellite view" until I saw the actual structure, a distinctive swimming pool. But it is odd that it cannot simply be located by name, when lots of hotels, etc. show up that way. I even tried various iterations of the name of the arena. You could also try calling the TI in Milan, or even the American Express office there.
Looks to me like this is their website: http://www.fieramilano.it/portal/page?_pageid=36,38897&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL At least it looks like that's probably the venue. There's directions and a map on the site.
And here's an address: Strada Statale del Sempione, 28, Rho (MI) 22017 And Expedia will help you find hotels in Rho, aka Fiera Milano Rho
I think this is it. There is a gigantic convention center/ exhibition hall in Rho called Fieramilano. http://www.fieramilano.it/portal/page?_pageid=36,38894&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL Double check though.
All I can say is you are all THE BEST! I asked a gen question on facebook and rec'd several responses from guys who lived in Milan, and they didn't have a clue as to the address. Thanks for all of your help! Hope I can return the favor. Have a good one!
