From Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) – international airport (located approx. 60 km in the north-west)

 

Participants have two options to reach the city:

 

  1. Shuttle Bus: buses leave from both terminals approx. every 10 - 15 mins (a few bus companies link the airport to the city: look for the bus stops in front of the terminals and pick the one that best suits your needs: the “one way” fare costs around 7.00€. Please make sure that the final destination of the bus is Milan Central Station (MILANO CENTRALE or STAZIONE CENTRALE). Please note that buses heading to Milan might suffer long delays due to intense commuter traffic during rush hour.

 

  1. MALPENSA EXPRESS train: please note that minor and low cost airlines usually land at Terminal 2 (T2), whereas national airlines are normally handled at Terminal 1. Unlike the bus, trains ONLY REACH TERMINAL 1 (T1)! Should you find yourself in Terminal 2, simply take the shuttle bus connecting the two terminals to reach the underground train station of Terminal 1 (follow the directions inside the terminal building). Please click here to find out where your airline normally lands. 

Trains leave the airport every 30 mins and link the airport to MILANO CADORNA station (city centre): the trip takes approx. 40 mins. Please refer to the official website of the Northern Railways (“Le Nord”) to schedule your trip.

 

For further information please visit the Milan Airport Authority official website.

Both Milan Central Station (MILANO CENTRALE) and MILANO CADORNA are linked by the GREEN LINE (LINEA 2, MM2 or M2) of the underground network (a few other secondary train stations can be reached with the same metro line). Reach the metro station and take any train heading to COLOGNO NORD, GESSATE or CASCINA GOBBA and get off at PIOLA station: get back to the surface and take bus 90 (southbound – “Isonzo” or 93 (southbound – “Omero”) for 4 stops. Get off at “Romagna – Susa” and follow the directions described above.

Information on domestic and international train connections and fares can be easily retrieved on the Official website of the Italian Railways. The German Railways website  also provides an excellent search engine for international rail connections.

 

 

ROAD

 

Milan is a major motorway junction for both domestic and European road traffic: major motorways like the “Autostrada” A1 Milan – Naples, A7 Milan – Genua, A9 Milan – Como – Switzerland and A8 Milan – Varese have their starting point in Milan. Another major motorway, the A4 Turin – Trieste touches the northern outskirts of the city and forms, together with two beltways – the so called “Tangenziale Est” and “Tangenziale Ovest” - a “ring motorway” surrounding the entire city.

Exit 7 “VIA RUBATTINO – CITTA’ STUDI” of the Eastern Beltway (“Tangenziale Est”) is the closest to the hotel.
