The exhibition center is at Via Portuense 1645, in the western quadrant of the city, with the north entrance on Via Portuense and the east entrance on Via Eiffel. You get there by train on the regional line FL1, which stops at Fiera di Roma station, and by car from the Grande Raccordo Anulare, exit 30, toward Fiumicino. Opening hours and ticket prices for the 2027 edition are not yet published: they are listed on the official Motodays website, where you also find the purchase information for the sales channel authorized by the organizers.

Motodays 2027: what the Rome motorcycle show is

Motodays is the motorcycle event of Rome, born in 2009 and presented by the organizers as the reference event of the sector for Central and Southern Italy. In 2027 it reaches its 15th edition.

Three days between halls and tracks

The official website announces three days of exhibitions, road tests, shows and talks, inside and outside the halls. It is a show that lives largely outdoors: the outdoor areas host the test rides, the off-road activities and the shows.

An experiential format

The organizers explain the success of Motodays with its formula: activities to try for yourself alongside the exhibition, direct contact with the technicians of the sector, entertainment with interviews and shows in the outdoor areas, and solutions to make the visit easier.

Who organizes

Motodays is organized by Fiera Roma, the company that runs the exhibition center on Via Portuense. The event's Exhibition Manager, in the 2026 edition, was Mauro Giustibelli.

The 2026 edition in numbers

The 14th edition of Motodays, from March 6 to 8, 2026, spread over 45,000 square meters of exhibition space, with five halls, more than 232 exhibitors and more than 30,000 square meters of outdoor areas, according to Fiera Roma's closing press release.

The test rides

Over the three days more than 5,000 test rides were made with the brands present, on road and off-road, with a significant turnout from Friday.

More visitors, younger visitors

The press release reports a 15 percent increase in visitors compared with the previous edition and the presence of nearly 3,000 students from Rome schools involved in the activities. The 2026 edition had chosen to focus on the new generations, both in the program and in the communication.

One more hall

Compared with 2025 the 2026 edition had one more hall, new areas dedicated to shopping and more outdoor spaces. The organizers announced the 2027 edition for the month of March. The official dates are March 5 to 7.

What you do at Motodays

At Motodays you look at motorcycles, but above all you try them: the heart of the event, according to the official website, is the experiential activities, from the road test to the off-road experience.

The road tests

The motorcycle manufacturers present make their models available for test rides. In 2026 there were more than 5,000 test rides: for anyone thinking of changing bikes it is the chance to try several on the same day. Registration terms and required documents are indicated by the organizers and by the individual brands.

Off-road

The website devotes a section to the off-road experience, and in 2026 the north track area hosted the finals of the Massenzio Battle, a knockout off-road competition between single-cylinder and twin-cylinder bikes.

The program sections

The official website organizes the program into dedicated areas: one for young riders, one for experienced riders, one for road tests, one for off-road. In 2026 there were also areas for electric mobility, an academy for young riders, gaming, a workshop for content creators and a space for motorcycle touring.

Training

In 2026 the Federazione Motociclistica Italiana brought to the show initiatives dedicated to training and road safety: courses for beginner women riders, on the paved area and off-road, and training sessions for children and teenagers with the certified federal schools.

Who Motodays is for

The typical Motodays visitor, according to the organizers, is a motorcycle enthusiast, very often a rider, who comes from Rome and Lazio, from Central Italy, from Naples and Campania, and in some cases from Puglia and Calabria.

The profile

The website gives an average age of 44 and a mostly male audience. The 2026 edition's choice to focus on young people, and the attention to women's motorcycling, show that the organizers want to broaden this profile.

The companies

The exhibitors are companies in vehicles, accessories, clothing, organization of sports and other events, and services: businesses mainly interested in direct contact with potential customers from the Center and South catchment area. Only some are dealers.

The students

In 2026, almost 3,000 students from Rome schools took part in the activities, starting on Friday morning. For schools and families, Motodays is also an opportunity for road safety education.

The stars of the 2026 edition

The 2026 edition of Motodays starred young people, women in motorcycling and the off-road show.

The Fiamma e Laura award

On March 8, 2026, International Women's Day, the third edition of the Fiamma e Laura award took place on the main stage. It was established by Motodays with the magazines Moto Sprint and In Moto in memory of the journalists Fiammetta La Guidara and Laura Melidoni. In the presence of Maddalena Corvaglia, women professionals in motorcycling were honored, among them the rider Martina Guarino, champion of the Italian women's championship, and Susy Rega, founder of Donne in Moto.

The Massenzio Battle

The Massenzio Battle finals featured 12 riders in the single-cylinder category and 8 in the twin-cylinder. Jarno Dorsogna won among the twin-cylinders and Luca Milani among the single-cylinders. The participants also included the actor Max Giusti, a motorcycle enthusiast.

The riding schools

Among the federation schools present were that of the former MotoGP rider Simone Corsi and that of Gianluca Nannelli, both dedicated to training young riders.

Fiera di Roma, the hub on Via Portuense

Fiera di Roma is the capital's exhibition hub, opened in 2006 along Via Portuense, in the Ponte Galeria district, at the western edge of the municipal territory, on the border with Fiumicino.

The design

The complex is the work of the architect Tommaso Valle and covers about 390,000 square meters, with rectangular halls free of pillars and a congress center. For an event like Motodays, which uses large outdoor spaces for test rides and shows, the size of the hub is decisive.

A long history of temporary venues

Rome's trade fairs looked for a home for a long time. EUR was designed for the 1942 Universal Exposition, which the war canceled. After the war, the Fiera Campionaria was held at EUR until 1955, then moved to Via Cristoforo Colombo, to a venue opened as temporary in 1959 and kept in use for half a century. In 1998 Ente Fiera Roma became a joint-stock company, and in 2006 the new venue on Via Portuense arrived.

Between city and airport

The location is the key to the design: away from urban traffic, along the highway to Fiumicino airport, with its own train station. From the airport the hub is about 10 minutes by car, according to the Motodays website.

The other events

During the year the Fiera hosts very different events: Romics, the comics fair, Welfair, the healthcare fair, and EvooTrends, dedicated to extra virgin olive oil. In March the halls open to motorcycles.

A curiosity about Motodays 2027 at Fiera di Roma, from March 5 to 7, 2027

The curiosity is in the name of one of its competitions. The off-road race that livened up the north track area of Motodays in 2026 is called the Massenzio Battle, a knockout challenge between single-cylinder and twin-cylinder bikes, with qualifiers, semifinals and finals. In the 2026 finals, 20 riders competed, between single-cylinders and twin-cylinders, and among them was Max Giusti, an actor and motorcycle enthusiast, who gave the public one of the most followed moments of the event.

The second curiosity is about the calendar. The 2026 edition closed on March 8, International Women's Day, turning into a celebration of women's motorcycling, with the award dedicated to two journalists in the sector. The 2027 edition closes on March 7, on the eve of the same anniversary.

The third is geographical. Fiera di Roma can also be reached from Fiumicino airport in a few minutes: two train stops, according to the event's website. For a motorcyclist arriving by plane from another region, Motodays is one of the easiest fairs to reach in Italy.

Something nobody tells you about Motodays 2027 at Fiera di Roma, from March 5 to 7, 2027

What few people say is that Fiera di Roma has two entrances, and choosing well changes your day. The Motodays website lists the east entrance on Via Eiffel, a side street of Via Portuense, and the north entrance at Via Portuense 1645-1647. Anyone arriving by taxi or with a navigation system has to set one or the other. Those arriving by motorcycle find interior parking reserved for motorcyclists, a service the event's website explicitly points out.

The second thing is about the test rides. In 2026 there were more than 5,000 test rides in three days, and the most requested ones run out early. It's best to arrive at opening, especially on Saturday and Sunday, and decide beforehand which models to try. The documents and clothing required for the test ride are indicated by the organizers and the brands: showing up without a helmet or without a suitable license means watching from the sidelines.

Third point: Friday. In 2026 Friday morning was crowded with students from Rome schools, involved in the activities. For anyone looking for a quiet visit, Friday afternoon may be the best time.

The advice I give you for visiting Motodays 2027 at Fiera di Roma, from March 5 to 7, 2027

My advice is to go by motorcycle, if the weather allows. Motodays is a fair made by motorcyclists for motorcyclists, and the website lists interior parking dedicated to two wheels: arriving in the saddle solves the parking problem and is part of the experience. In the rain, the FL1 train to Fiera di Roma station is the most convenient alternative.

The second piece of advice is to prepare your visit. Before leaving, check the official website for opening hours, prices, the program of the outdoor areas and how the test rides work, which the organizers will publish for the 2027 edition. With five halls and more than 30,000 square meters of outdoor areas, wandering without a plan means missing what you really care about.

The third, and in our view the most important, is about gear. If you want to try a motorcycle, bring a helmet, gloves, a suitable jacket and your license: the test rides are the heart of the event, and they are the only occasion of the year, in Rome, to compare different models in the same afternoon.

How to get to Motodays at Fiera di Roma

You get to Fiera di Roma by train on the regional FL1 line, which stops at Fiera di Roma station, or by car and motorcycle from the Grande Raccordo Anulare, exit 30, Fiumicino and Nuova Fiera di Roma.

By motorcycle and car

From the Grande Raccordo Anulare you take exit 30, marked Fiumicino and Nuova Fiera di Roma. From central Rome you take the Rome-Fiumicino highway toward the airport and follow the signs for the Fiera. The hub has a large outdoor parking lot, with more than 7,000 car spaces, and interior parking for motorcyclists.

The entrances

The east entrance is on Via Eiffel, a side street of Via Portuense. The north entrance is at Via Portuense 1645-1647. The Motodays website suggests these addresses for navigation systems and taxis.

By train

The interchange station indicated by the organizers is Roma Tiburtina, from which the regional FL1 line reaches Fiera di Roma station with trains every 15 minutes. The FL1 also stops at Roma Ostiense and Roma Trastevere. If you're coming from Bologna, Florence or Naples, the Motodays website has some sample itineraries, with schedules subject to change.

By plane

From Fiumicino airport the fairground is about 10 minutes by car and 5 minutes by train, two stops on the regional line.

By taxi

The estimated time by taxi from Piazza Venezia, according to the Motodays website, is about 40 minutes. From Fiumicino airport it's about 10.

Another well-known fact, yet rarely mentioned

It's well known that the motorcycle world has been discussing for years the average age of motorcyclists, which tends to rise. It is less often remembered that a fair can do something concrete. The 2026 edition of Motodays chose to focus on young people in building the program and in its communication, with an academy for young riders, activities in schools and the involvement of almost 3,000 students. According to the closing press release, attendance grew by 15 percent. The federation schools of Simone Corsi, a former MotoGP rider, and of Gianluca Nannelli brought the training of new generations to the fair.

A second well-known and little-told fact concerns women. The Fiamma e Laura award, established by Motodays with Moto Sprint and In Moto, remembers two journalists from the world of motors, Fiammetta La Guidara and Laura Melidoni, and each year honors women professionals in the sector: riders, trainers, founders of communities, communication experts. In 2026 the Women's Commission of the Italian Motorcycling Federation organized riding courses for beginner women riders at the fair.

And a third: Motodays has existed since 2009, and the latest editions have been held at Fiera di Roma, the hub opened in 2006 and run by the same company that organizes the event.

The right photo to take at Motodays 2027 at Fiera di Roma, from March 5 to 7, 2027

The right photo, at Motodays, isn't taken in front of a parked motorcycle. The event lives in the outdoor areas: the off-road in the north track area, the road test rides, the shows. An image shot at trackside during a race, with the bike in the air and the crowd in the background, tells the story of the fair better than any hall.

For someone testing a motorcycle, the best photo is the one on returning from the test, with the helmet in hand next to the model just ridden: it's the image that says why people come to Motodays. In the halls, the bikes on display under the lights offer technical and design details to photograph at leisure, especially in the less crowded hours of Friday afternoon.

And outside, the north entrance of Fiera di Roma, with the big lettering on the facade and the striped paved square, is the classic backdrop for a photo of a motorcycle club that arrived together in the saddle.

Some important events that happened here in history

The history of Fiera di Roma is recent, but it grafts onto a longer story. The first event to recall is the plan for the 1942 Universal Exposition, for which the EUR district was started: the war canceled it, and Rome was left without a stable exhibition venue.

The second is 1959, when the temporary venue on Via Cristoforo Colombo opened, which for 50 years was Fiera di Roma for generations of Romans. The third is 1998, with the transformation of Ente Fiera Roma into a joint-stock company, a prelude to the move to a modern venue. The fourth is 2006: the opening of the new hub along Via Portuense, outside the city, on the highway to the airport, with a station on the FL1 line.

For Motodays, the events are the editions. The first in 2009. The 14th, from March 6 to 8, 2026, with five halls, more than 232 exhibitors, more than 5,000 test rides and a 15 percent increase in visitors. The 15th, from March 5 to 7, 2027. This area, between the Tiber and the sea, was for centuries the entry route into Rome for goods arriving from the port: today motorcyclists arrive here from half of Italy.

Who has come through Motodays 2027 at Fiera di Roma, from March 5 to 7, 2027

Riders, trainers, actors and journalists have come through Motodays in the latest editions documented by the organizers. In 2026 on the main stage were Maddalena Corvaglia and the winners of the Fiamma e Laura award: Antonella Maria Martometti, coordinator of the Women's Commission of the Italian Motorcycling Federation. Susy Rega, founder of Donne in Moto. The rider Martina Guarino. Aurora Angelucci. The rider and content creator Cecilia Scottini. Dalila Agrati, press officer for a team and for FIM Europe. Cristina Siani.

On the track came the riders of the Massenzio Battle, among them the winners Jarno Dorsogna and Luca Milani, and the actor Max Giusti. In the training areas came the former MotoGP rider Simone Corsi and Gianluca Nannelli with their federation schools. Behind the scenes, the Exhibition Manager Mauro Giustibelli and the Fiera Roma team.

And then the public: thousands of motorcyclists from Rome, Lazio, Campania, Puglia and Calabria, and almost 3,000 students from Rome schools. During the year, Fiera di Roma also sees the visitors of Romics, Welfair and EvooTrends: few places in the city see such different audiences a few weeks apart.

How to organize your visit to Motodays

A day at Motodays is organized like a day out of town: Fiera di Roma is far from the center, and the time spent getting there has to be factored in.

Which day

Friday, March 5, Saturday, March 6, or Sunday, March 7. Friday, at least in the morning, is the day for schools. Saturday and Sunday are the days for the general public. If you want to do many test rides, you do well to choose Friday afternoon or to arrive at opening on the weekend.

How long

With five halls and large outdoor areas, half a day is the minimum. If you want to try bikes and follow the races, you can stay from opening to closing.

What to bring

For the test rides: helmet, gloves, jacket and license, according to the organizers' instructions. For everyone: comfortable shoes, because you walk a lot between halls and tracks, and a raincoat, because in early March the weather in Rome is changeable.

Where to stay

The Motodays website has a section dedicated to where to stay. If you're coming from out of town, you can choose the airport area or the city, connected by the FL1.

Motodays with children and teenagers

Motodays devotes a section of the program to young riders, and in 2026 the federation schools involved children and teenagers in training and demonstration moments.

Road safety

The initiatives of the Italian Motorcycling Federation dedicated to training and safety are the best way to introduce kids to two wheels with awareness.

Gaming and shows

The gaming areas and the off-road shows are the ones the youngest follow with the most enthusiasm. The rules for minors and any ticket discounts are indicated by the organizers.

Accessibility at Fiera di Roma

Fiera di Roma is a modern hub, with regular-plan halls free of pillars, designed for large flows of visitors. Anyone with specific access needs or who needs reserved parking should contact the organizers before the visit, through the contacts listed on the official Motodays website. The test ride and off-road areas are outdoors: it's best to ask in advance how the routes are organized.

What to see around Fiera di Roma

Fiera di Roma is far from the historic center, but close to places that deserve a few more hours, maybe the next day.

Ostia Antica

The excavations of Ostia Antica, the port city of ancient Rome, are a few kilometers away. Next to the excavations is the medieval village of Ostia Antica. For those arriving by motorcycle it's a short detour.

EUR

On the road toward the center, EUR offers the Rationalist architecture of the district built for the E42 and Fuksas's Nuvola.

Trastevere and Porta Portese

Via Portuense begins at Porta Portese, on the Trastevere bank. If you're returning by train, you can get off at Roma Trastevere and end the day in the neighborhood, described in the listing Trastevere: what to see.

Motodays for those coming from outside Rome

Motodays draws visitors from all of Central and Southern Italy, and the official website publishes some sample itineraries for those arriving by train from Bologna, Florence and Naples, with the warning that schedules are subject to change.

From Naples

The sample itinerary indicated by the organizers has departure from Naples at 7:40 and arrival at Fiera Roma at 9:53, with return from Fiera Roma at 17:35 and arrival at Napoli Centrale at 20:00. It shows how much the event looks to the public from Campania, one of its main catchment areas.

From Florence and Bologna

From Florence the sample itinerary leaves at 7:54 and arrives at Fiera Roma at 10:08. From Bologna the arrival is also at 10:08. The indicated returns leave Fiera Roma in the late afternoon. Before leaving, check the actual 2027 schedules.

By motorcycle from far away

For those arriving in the saddle from another region, exit 30 of the Grande Raccordo Anulare leads straight to the Fiera without crossing the city, and the interior parking for motorcyclists avoids leaving the bike on the street.

Rome in early March

Motodays falls on the first weekend of March, a period when Rome comes out of winter but the weather remains changeable.

The weather

The days get longer and temperatures rise, but rain is still frequent. If you're arriving by motorcycle, check the forecast and keep rain gear ready. For the outdoor areas of the fair, wear suitable shoes and bring a light raincoat.

A weekend in Rome

If you're coming from out of town, you can combine the fair with a few hours in the city: the FL1 connects Fiera di Roma with Roma Trastevere, Roma Ostiense and Roma Tiburtina, and from there the center is a few minutes away. Early March is still low season: lodging is easier to find and museums are less crowded than in spring.

My advice is to check the official website for hours, prices and how the test rides work as soon as they are published, arrive in the saddle if the weather allows, bring a helmet and license, choose Friday afternoon or the weekend opening to avoid lines for the test rides, and set aside at least half a day for the visit. Anyone thinking of changing bikes won't find a better occasion in Rome to decide.
