Each time, one of my friends and acquaintances gather to visit me, I prepare detailed instructions “How to get from the airport to Milan and back”. And even if a person is for the first time in Italy, without knowledge of Italian and English, the road is very easy. The main thing is to have the necessary information that I would like to share with you.
So, to begin with, there are three airports in Milan: Bergamo (Bergamo Orio al Serio), Malpensa (Malpensa) and Linate (Linate). All of them are located in the Milan district at a distance of about 50 kilometers. And each of them has a well-functioning communication system, thanks to public transport such as trains and buses.
Search cheap flights to italy conveniently on the service aviasales.ru. Please note that aviasales does not sell tickets, but only helps you find the best option.
I would like to consider the bus services and advise you to use them, since the railway in Italy is known for its strikes and, therefore, does not guarantee constant communication. The organization of bus transfers is so practical that even the inhabitants of Milan prefer to leave their cars and use the transfer services. Departure from Milan takes place at one of the parking lots of the railway station in Piazza Luigi Savoia.
If you prefer a more comfortable option or arrive late in the evening, we recommend using the KiwiTaxi transfer and taxi search service.
Book a transfer to Milan from the airport:
- Bergamo - from 86 euros
- Malpensa - from 80 euros (taxi drivers have a fixed rate of 95 euros)
- Linate - from 50 euros
Consider each airport separately.
