Transportation from Milan Malpensa airport to Stazione Central?
 

Hi, I would surely appreciate info on getting from Malpensa airport to Stazione Central where we will make connections to Venice. Thanks in advance. Stephen <BR> <BR>

Buses make a regular run.

Stephen: <BR>I just returned from a trip to Italy and <BR>began in Milan at the Malpensa Airport. <BR>The Malpensa Express is a new and very <BR>fast and clean train that runs from the <BR>airport to Milan. You can ride for no <BR>charge if a passengar on Italia or Continental. Need to get a taxi to the <BR>Stazione Central or do the subway. I <BR>suggest a taxi as it is much easier and <BR>not expensive. These trains run all of the time and there is a place in the <BR>arrival terminal to get information. I found out about the Express on the Fodors Forum or the website for the Malpensa Airport or AOL <BR>Travel Board. Can't recall which. <BR>Good luck.

The direct bus from the airport to Stazione Centrale takes 45 minutes, costs 13,000 lira, and stops right outside the station, making it the easiest way to travel the route you mention.

Definitely the bus. It leaves every half hour, and you can buy the ticket from the driver as you get on the bus. I would give yourself a little extra time and not cut it too close, as our bus didn't leave exactly on time, and traffic can be unpredictable.

Hi <BR>I did the same trip last October. I agree with Cheryl to allow a lot of extra time between your plane arrival and your train departure. Last fall <BR>the bus from the airport to the train station took 90 minutes to make the trip in the early morning--rush hour, I presume. I will also add that it is best to travel light. Lugging heavy suitcases off the bus, through the station, onto the train, through the car, onto the luggage rack, and off the train, taught me a very valuable lesson about packing light. <BR>

I will also be doing this trip from the airport to Stazione Central and wonder if anyone knows if there's somewhere reliable to leave your luggage for a couple of days? <BR> <BR>Any help would be appreciated. <BR>
