Assago is a satellite town just southwest of Milan, best known as home to the Mediolanum Forum, one of Italy's largest indoor arenas for concerts, basketball and ice events. Beyond the arena, it is largely a modern business and residential district rather than a historic destination, functioning as an easy day-trip extension of Milan rather than a standalone base.

How do I get to Assago?
Assago is reached directly via Milan's M2 (green) metro line, which terminates at the Assago Milanofiori Forum station, a short walk from the arena.

How many days should I spend in Assago?
A few hours, or at most a single day, is enough to cover Assago, since most visits centre on a specific event at the Forum rather than extended sightseeing.
