groups from Italy or from abroad composed of at least 15 students from kindergarten, primary,
secondary and high schools.
Students from technical and professional training centers recognized from local institutions, and

The purchase of School Tickets gives the right to the following gratuities:
• 2 accompanying adults (teacher/educator) for every 12 students.
• 1 accompanying adult (teacher/educator) for each disabled student.

Any additional accompanying adults (2 for every 12 students) have the right to a discount ticket at
the special price of € 10,00.

■ HOW TO BOOK SCHOOL TICKETS

Tickets can be booked through the webpage http://www.expo2015.org/en/schools-ticket-bookings,
by filling out the booking form in all its fields, with the data of the school and classes that will
participate in the educational visit. Once completed, click on the SUBMIT button placed in the lower
left side of the page, and the data will be sent to the booking system.
Once the reservation has been made, the school can already start planning the trip to Expo Milano 2015.
The School Booking Office of Expo Milano 2015 will then contact the school to complete
the purchase and send the requested tickets.

■ SCHOOL TOUR PACKAGES

Schools can organize their trip with the aid of the Authorised School Ticket Resellers, that allow
schools to buy integrated packages that include admission to the Exhibition Area, transport
and possible overnight stay.

The list of Authorised School Ticket Resellers is available on the Progetto Scuola’s website:
http://www.progettoscuola.expo2015.org/en/visit/tickets

HOW TO GET TO EXPO
HOW TO GET TO EXPO MILANO 2015?

The Exhibition Area of Expo Milano 2015 is located
within few kilometers from Milan, in the North-West
part of the city, and is directly connected to all city
airports and main public transport systems.

Schools can decide how to reach the Exhibition Area,
choosing among various means of transportation:

• UNDERGROUND: take the red line 1 and get oﬀ at the Rho Fieramilano Station/Stop directly
connected with the WEST FIORENZA ACCESS at 800 meters (by foot) from the Exhibition Area.
• TRAIN: with rail connection provided by Trenitalia, Trenord and Italo to the "Rho Fiera Milano
Expo 2015" station, located next to the WEST TRIULZA ACCESS, at 300 meters (by foot)
from the exhibition area.
• BUS GT rented by the school autonomously, associated with the online purchase
of a parking coupon.
Parking is possible within the following areas:
EAST ACCESS ROSERIO (200 meters walk from the Exhibition Site)
SOUTH ACCESS MERLATA (500 meters walk from the Exhibition Site)
Please note that you should buy your ticket for the bus GT prior to the date of your visit,
to secure your place at one of the parking lots close to the Exhibition Site (Roserio and/or Merlata).
Buses without parking ticket will be managed upon their arrival, based on parking availability.
Moreover the advanced purchase of the parking coupon is especially recommended for classes
that include students with disabilities. This will in fact give a stronger chance to be allocated in
the Roserio parking lot, which is closer to the Exhibition site and thus easier to access by everyone.

Please note: The purchase of a parking ticket is mandatory, otherwise penalties will be charged
for accessing a restricted area without a permit.

■ HOW TO BUY THE TOUR BUS PARKING VOUCHER
If you arrive by bus, you can book your parking online, entering not just from Merlata but from
Roserio too. Also, as of now you won't have to insert your Expo ticket's code in order to reserve
your parking. Finally, remember that gates from Roserio and Merlata open from 9:00 am.
To purchase the coupon, visit this website https://parkexpo2015.arriva.it/expo/index.php?lang=en
and follow the instructions.
The ticket will be sent via email and has to be printed and placed in plain sight on the vehicle upon
arrival at the Exhibition Site.
Contacts: 895.895.0895 (from Italy) • + 39 02 30329708 (from abroad).

HOW TO ACCESS THE EXPO
HOW TO ACCESS THE EXPO MILANO 2015?

■ SECURITY CHECKS
Expo Milano 2015 is a small town. To ensure the safety of employees and visitors, everyone
must be subjected to a security check, such as those that take place in airports.
Before crossing the turnstiles, all visitors must pass their bags under the X-ray scanners,
let the “sniﬀers” (special machines that detect the presence of explosives) smell their personal
belongings and then walk through a metal detector door.

■ SCHOOL ENTRY
Schools can access the security checkpoints via fast tracks (whose number can change
on a daily basis according to the actual number of students).
These fast tracks can be found in correspondence of each turnstile at the main entrance:
WEST FIORENZA ACCESS, WEST TRIULZA ACCESS, SOUTH MERLATA ACCESS
and EAST ROSERIO ACCESS.

■ TICKET
Once it has been validated, the ticket does not allow you to go out and then get back inside,
on the same day. Therefore, before entering please make sure you have everything you
need with you.
The cost of the ticket includes all attractions and events within Expo Milano 2015 with
the exception of the show by Cirque du Soleil ALLAVITA! that takes place at the Open Air Theater
in Expo Milano 2015 every day from Wednesday to Sunday, from May 13th untill August 30th.
The tickets for this show must
be purchased separately.
The cost of the Expo Milano 2015 ticket
also includes a free entry to the exhibit -
Arts & Foods, to be held

di Finanza, Custom Police, Local Police, Forest Police, Fire department) coordinated by the Milan
Prefecture, and three First Aid emplacements as well as a heliport. If you are experiencing any
danger or emergency, simply refer to the security forces or to the Expo FOP operators, that you can
recognize thanks to their blu uniform.

Inside the exhibition site, schools can find School Volunteers, recognizable by the green vests
with the Progetto Scuola logo, located in the areas visible on the map.
They are students, coordinated by a representative, who can suggest and recommend thematic
itineraries and who can provide support (if required) to teachers and students.
