Exhibitions and Fairs in Brescia
Dubbed the 'Lioness of Italy', Brescia boasts an economy based on hundreds of small and medium-sized enterprises, active in engineering, agriculture and viticulture (it’s famous for the farming of Franciacorta grapes), as well as services and tourism. The Fairground of Brescia, Brixia Expo, is a major trade pole especially for the firearms, antiques and modern art sectors.
How to get to Brescia
Brescia is easily accessible by all means of transport: it stands on the A4 motorway, it’s served by the railway line Milan-Venice and has an airport, Brescia-Montichiari, about fifteen kilometers away from the city centre. You can reach the Fair directly by car from Brescia-West highway or by bus or shuttle from the station and the airport of Brescia Montichiari.
Where to stay in Brescia
Brescia hotels are an excellent starting point for exploring the areas around Lake Garda and Lake Iseo. Many of the cheapest hotels in Brescia are located around the central station, which is, however, a few minutes walk from downtown. In the area of the Trade Fair there are some 4-star hotels offering excellent facilities for business travelers.
