I will be in Milano for a day. Could you please let me know how can I get to the city from the Airport. Do you have any idea about fares or maps? thanks in advance for any help!

Malpensa or Linate?

Claudio,

Assuming you are arriving at Malpensa you can get into from the airport very easy.

The Malpensa Express departs from Terminal 1 for Milan's Cadorna Rail Station every 30 minutes. It also stops at Milan Bovisa and Saronno stations. First train departs Malpensa at 06.45, the last train departs 21.45. Journey time is around 40 minutes.

Fare: EUR 9.00 one-way. Same day return is EUR 12.00, open return EUR 14.50.
The Malpensa Express information line is 02 20222.

There are also rail links from Malpensa airport to Milan Central and Milan Garibaldi Stations via Gallarate. A local shuttle bus connects the airport with Gallarate Rail Station every hour.

Once you arrive at the train station go to tourist info "the big I" and you can get all the maps to get around the city. The Milan train station is one of the finest examples in Europe, so take some time to look around. The Milan subway is also very easy to use and inexpensive.

Enjoy your trip.

Hi Claudio, if you are arriving at Milpensa airport there is a shuttle bus that will take you the the central train station in Milan. It is about an hour trip and the bus leaves about every 20 to 30 minutes. And of course you can take the shuttle bus back to Milpensa from Milan's central train station.
