Getting around Milan by car is possible, but it takes a bit of organisation. Between ring roads, limited-traffic zones and regulated parking, knowing some basic information can make the difference, especially if you are staying in the city for several days or weeks. In this article you will find a practical guide to help you find your way, with useful tips for those staying at CHS Milano, in an area that is well connected and convenient for those travelling by car too.
Milan’s ring roads: how to find your way
Milan is surrounded by a system of ring roads (tangenziali) that allow you to move quickly between the various areas of the city and to connect to the main motorways. The main ones are:
- Tangenziale Nord (A52)
- Tangenziale Est (A51)
- Tangenziale Ovest (A50)
These routes let you avoid city-centre traffic and quickly reach neighbourhoods such as Niguarda, Bicocca, Bovisa and the Rho Fiera area. The CHS Milano area is particularly convenient thanks to its proximity to the Cormano access point, which offers quick access to the motorway network.
Motorways and main connections
From Milan’s ring roads you can easily join the main motorways:
- A4 Turin–Venice
- A8 Milan–Varese
- A9 Milan–Como–Chiasso
These connections make it easy to reach Milan even from outside the city and to travel every day for work, hospital visits or professional appointments.
ZTL and limited-traffic zones: what to know
In the centre of Milan there are Limited Traffic Zones (ZTL), including:
- Area C
- Area B
Before entering these zones it is important to check:
- the hours they are in force
- access rules
- any tickets or restrictions
For those who don’t need to reach the historic centre by car, the best solution is to leave the car parked and use public transport.
Parking in Milan: practical solutions
Parking in the city can be complex, especially in central areas. For this reason it is advisable to choose accommodation that offers dedicated parking solutions. CHS Milano provides:
- parking spaces in the internal, fenced courtyard
- underground garages with direct access to the building
An important convenience for those staying in Milan for several days who want to move around independently, without having to worry about parking every day.
Car and public transport: the best combination
A very effective strategy is to combine car and public transport. From the CHS Milano area you can:
- park the car conveniently
- reach the M3 metro (yellow line) in about 7 minutes on foot
- get directly to the Duomo or Milano Centrale station
This way you avoid traffic, ZTLs and the high cost of parking in the centre.
Useful tips for those staying in Milan by car
- Plan your trips avoiding rush hours
- Use the ring roads to move between neighbourhoods
- Always check the access rules for ZTLs
- Choose accommodation with internal parking or a garage
- Use the metro for the city centre
Small precautions that make your stay easier and less stressful.
