MXP to Milano centrale
OK all you gurus out there...is it a realistic expectation to land at MXP at 0635, clear customs, hop on the bus, and be at milano centrale by 0900 to grab a train on a Thursday?
How has your experience gone at getting from MXP to milano via the shuttle bus? thanx for your help ... |
Well, I haven't done this in awhile from Malpensa, but I will be doing it again quite soon-I'd say, given morning rush hour traffic that may be cutting it a bit close- as the bus takes around 60-70 minutes to get to Centrale-but there could be traffic jams, and you could be delayed getting into MXP, I'd say 9:30 would be more like it, assuming no major unforeseen complications-I also seem to recall quite a walk from the aircraft to baggage claim as well.

Hi russwuf, believe the shuttle bus runs every 30 minutes so keep in mind you could have up to almost a 30 minute wait for the next one if you happen to miss one that has just left.

Hi r,
I think that if everything works perfectly you will just make it. Probability of everything working perfectly........? ((I)) |
thanx for all the response so far...so it seems that being able to catch the 1000 Eurostar at milano centrale is more realistic yes?
|
Hi russwuf, you could grab the 9:00am train but probably if you figure you would get the 10:00am train it would be more realistic. But maybe you will be pleasantly surprised. Do have a wonder trip!

russwuf,
10am train seems more realistic than 9am. Think about non-EU immigration queue and wait to pick-up luggage at MXP. Alternatively, you can take the Malpensa express to Milan-Cadorna, then transfer to Centrale either by taxi or subway if you don't have much luggage. At least you'll avoid traffic jam coming into the city. |
No, that's not realistic for a Thursday.

Sorry, I didn't see your second post. The 10am Eurostar is realistic.
