Facilities

The three city airports Malpensa, Linate and Orio al Serio, allow visitors to reach Milan from any part of the world. The airports are linked to the train stations by shuttle bus services: Malpensa airport is about 45 minutes away from Central Station, less than 20 minutes from Linate, 40 minutes from Orio al Serio. The latter is the hub of low-cost flights, operated especially by Ryan Air planes, while the other two airports are reserved for big airlines, including Air France, KLM, British Airways, Lufthansa, Iberia. Malpensa, however, has a much higher traffic, about 20 million passengers per year, while Milan Linate has a passenger traffic of “only” 9 million people per year.

If you get to Milan by train you will find yourself right in the heart of the city, just a few minutes by bus or metro from the main places of tourist interest.

Porta Garibaldi Station is mainly served by trains from major Italian cities, but also by TGV trains from Paris Gare de Lyon. Cadorna station is used by those travelling to/from Saronno, Novara, Como and Asso. From Milan Lambrate Station, regional and interregional trains arrive from and depart towards Piacenza, Voghera and other railway stations in Milan. From Cadorna, Garibaldi and Central train stations you can catch the buses leading to Milan airports: Malpensa, Linate and Orio al Serio.
