Novegro-Tregarezzo: Idroscalo, Trade Fairs and San Felice

There are several possible focal points when planning a trip to Novegro-Tregarezzo: the Idroscalo in Tregarezzo, events at the Parco Esposizioni Novegro, and the architecture and green spaces of San Felice. Which of these will shape your stay is a useful starting point when choosing a hotel. These differences can help you identify the purpose of your trip and include suitable dates or routes in your plans.

Idroscalo: Water and Sport

Tregarezzo is home to the Idroscalo. The basin is fed by spring water and water from the Naviglio Martesana. At Parco Idroscalo, amateurs and professionals take part in more than 20 sports. This means that, alongside the waterside setting, sporting activities are also a key feature of this area. If the Idroscalo is a focus of your stay, you can plan around it separately from trade fair visits or walking tours.

Trade Fairs and Collectors’ Events in Novegro

Parco Esposizioni Novegro is part of Milan’s trade fair system and has hosted trade fairs, events and conferences for more than fifty years. It is also regarded as a valued destination for collectors. One specific event for collectors is the Mostra Scambio: the market for classic cars, motorcycles and bicycles takes place twice a year in Novegro. Dates vary, so plan your trip around the date of the event you wish to attend.

San Felice’s Centro Sportivo David Lloyd also hosts a recurring sporting event: the international Franco Zampori tournament is held there annually. If the tournament is important to your travel plans, check the dates in advance. Trade fair events, the collectors’ market and the tournament offer different reasons to plan your travel dates around.

Architecture and Walks in San Felice

Quartiere San Felice is an archetypal modern suburban neighborhood from the late 1960s. Its design includes separating pedestrian routes from roads. The green spaces are open to everyone for pleasant walks away from vehicle traffic. Four described walking routes pass through the neighborhood’s planted variety: more than 80 tree species and 70 shrub species can be explored along these paths.

The Chiesa di San Felice is another architectural point of interest. According to the parish’s historical account, it was the first church in Europe to use sculptures instead of built architectural elements for its furnishings. Together with the neighborhood’s designation as a modern suburb, this offers a cultural focus distinct from the sporting and trade fair activities.

Planning Routes and Your Hotel Search

Several Idroscalo entrances can be reached in about 15 minutes on foot from the Linate Aeroporto stop on the M4 blue metro line. These include Magnolia, Centro sportivo Rugby, Ristorante Le Jardin au bord du lac, Piscine Villetta, and the Porta Maggiore and Tribune entrances. The walking time is approximate; check route information before your trip. Another road reference: the SP 15bis Paullese begins in Novegro at its junction with the Rivoltana.

First decide what is the main purpose of your stay, then compare the location details of specific hotel offers with your plans.
