Getting Here and Around

By car from Milan, start out on the A7 autostrada and exit onto the A53 as you near Pavia; the drive is 40 km (25 miles) and takes about 45 minutes. Pavia is 30–40 minutes by train from Milan and 1½ hours (by slower regional service) from Cremona. The Certosa is 30 minutes by train from several Milan stations.
