Transportation to/in Milan

flying to milan

There are basically three options to chose from when flying into Milan:

1. Malpensa Airport is the largest airport. It's the true international airport; most flights land and leave from there. It is, however, a bit far from the city and is connected to the city center either by train (40 minutes) or by bus (more or less 1h). For information on the train service see www.malpensaexpress.it.

2. Linate Airport is a smaller, international airport. It is much closer to the city center, although the only option is the bus (or taxi). It takes more or less 20 minutes by cab to reach the Bocconi area. You will find a much smaller number of flights arriving and leaving from Linate.

3. Bergamo (Orio al Serio). This is where most low-cost flights arrive. The airport is actually more than 1 hour from the city center and the only connection is by bus.

Taxi

Taxi service is always available day and night at taxi ranks just outside the exits of the airport. This is for sure the fastest way to move around the city as taxis may drive on reserved lanes. It is possible to ask Bocconi reception to call a taxi or call directly at: +39.024040 or +39.028989

Public buses, trams and subway (Metro)

The ticket is valid on the whole Milan urban network for 75 minutes from validation but allows only one journey on the metropolitan railway. It is also valid within the rail throughway and on the urban sections of the Northern Railways and State Railways. You can buy day- pass tickets as well. Tickets are available at most news kiosks and tobacconists.
