Milan is one of Italy’s great economic hubs, hosting trade fairs, meetings and business trips all year round. If you are wondering where to stay in Milan for work, the answer depends mainly on where your meetings are and how many days you will be staying.
Where to stay in Milan for work: which area to choose
- Centro and Duomo: convenient if your meetings are in the city centre and you want to get around on foot.
- Porta Nuova and Isola: a district of offices and skyscrapers, with good metro connections.
- Citylife: a modern neighbourhood of offices and homes, with services and the metro close by.
- Fiera Milano, in Rho: if you are travelling for a trade fair, check your daily commute; you can get there on metro line M1, Rho Fiera stop. You can check the events calendar on the Fiera Milano website.
To get around, the Milan metro has five lines (M1 to M5) that connect the main business districts well. You will find timetables and fares on the ATM Milano website.

Artissima Turin: A Fagnola Clock at an Antiques Ma
The 33rd edition of Artissima, Turin’s international contemporary art fair, will take place from October 30 to November 1, 2026, following an invitation-only preview on October 29. Approximately 180 galleries from 35 countries will participate, and it is the only art fair in Italy dedicated exclusively to contemporary art.
Where and When
The fair is being held at the Oval Lingotto Fiere, located at 70 Via Giacomo Mattè Trucco. The public can visit on Friday, October 30, and Saturday, October 31, from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and on Sunday, November 1, from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
How to Get There
You can get to the Oval by subway (Line 1), getting off at the Lingotto or Italia 61 stops, or by GTT public transportation. The Lingotto area is well connected to the rest of the city.
Things to Do in Turin During Artissima
Artissima is a great starting point for a weekend dedicated to art: museums, galleries, foundations, and architecture. During the fair, there are often additional exhibitions and side events; check the official program.
Where to Stay
If you’re staying for several days, choose an area that offers easy access to the Lingotto and also allows you to experience the city center. An apartment with a kitchen and separate living areas is useful if you’re staying for a longer period. Be Mate offers apartments in downtown Turin for stays of several days.
