It is ok to stay in Monza...and take train to Milan instead of staying in Milan?? for a more budget friendly hotel
Or any charming place that you can recommend, cheaper than Milan and with easy access to that city ...I don't mind to take a train for 45´
Thanks

Here, born in Monza and Monza resident for 13 years of my life. In itself, Monza has a few not too important sights in the Duomo, the royal Villa, the city park and the car racing area. As a base for Milan, the problem with Monza is that has no underground metro (MM) link to Milan (Monza simply refused to get that link, not to become a suburb of Milan). MM links you with the very center of Milan, like Duomo; railway from Monza brings you to Centrale and Porta Garibaldi stations, that are still a bit peripheral to Milan centre. You still need a MM leg - in real life, you will discover that the centre of Milan is 45 to 55 minutes away. - Changing from railway to MM in Sesto S. Giovanni could shave a few minutes. - For some business travellers that are bound to some areas of Milan, other than the center, there could be efficient railway links.
I suggest having a look if you manage to find an hotel in Sesto S. Giovanni, near a metro station; you could get to Duomo in only 20 minutes or so. (In this case, the ticket to Sesto Marelli MM stop is cheaper than the ticket to Sesto FS)
Lachera...thank you so much
We stayed in Monza instead of Milan in 2021.
We recommend the Hotel De La Ville. Very nice, super clean and great staff. Would stay there again..
