If you don’t live in Milano, you can reach the city by car, train, or plane.
By car
If you’re using a GPS navigator, we suggest to set it immediately to the specific address of your final destination within the city, in that this largely determines the route you’ll take to enter the city and, consequently, your travel times.
By train
Milano Centrale station
We recommend you to arrive at either the Milano Garibaldi or Milano Centrale station. Both are served by multiple bus and tram lines, as well as by the underground lines M2 (stop “Garibaldi” or “Centrale”) and M3 (stop “Central”). These can easily get you anywhere else in the city. On the contrary, we do not recommend arriving to any of the smaller railway stations, unless your accommodation is really in the immediate vicinity.
By plane
The nearest airports to Milano are: Milano Linate, Milano Malpensa, and Bergamo Orio al Serio.
Milano Linate is the closest to the city and is served by major domestic carriers and several international carriers. From the airport, bus lines 73 and 73X of Milano’s public transport system will take you into the city center at the price of a single standard ticket. You can buy tickets from the vending machines near bus stops, just outside the arrivals. Taxis, on the other hand, do not have a set fee from Milan Linate. The taxi meter will determine the fee depending on the destination.
Milano Malpensa is the intercontinental airport of Milan. Terminal 1 is served by most major international carriers. Terminal 2, on the other hand, is essentially anEasyJet hub If you arrive at Terminal 1, you can get to the city using either of the two bus companies that connect the airport to the Milano Centrale railway station: Autostradale and MalpensaShuttle. The journey takes about 55 minutes. The main alternative to the bus is the MalpensaExpress train, which connects the airport with the railway stations of Milano Cadorna, Milano Centrale, and Milano Garibaldi. The train bears a higher cost, but it makes you gain about 20 minutes compared to the bus. It’s also recommended in periods of heavy traffic in the city, for example, on Friday afternoon and Sunday evening. If you arrive at Terminal 2, we only recommend the bus. The MalpensaExpress train does not stop at Terminal 2, and the time it takes to reach Terminal 1 overweights the gain of the train on the bus.
Bergamo Orio al Serio airport is primarily served by low-cost airlines, notably Ryanair. To reach Milan, the only option are the two bus companies serving the route from the airport to Milano: Autostradale and OrioShuttle.
