Here is the map:
If you’re planning a trip to Milan, organizing the journey is a breeze. The city is incredibly well-connected in every way imaginable, so you simply need to figure out which mode of transport best suits your needs, your starting point, and—above all—your budget.
For those choosing to fly, Milan is served by three major airports, all of which are bustling hubs well-integrated into the transport network. The closest to the city center is Linate; it is just a few kilometers away and directly connected by the M4 metro line, taking you to Piazza San Babila—a stone's throw from the Duomo—in about 15 minutes. Then there is Malpensa, the largest international hub, easily accessible via the dedicated Malpensa Express train from either Milano Cadorna or Milano Centrale stations. Finally, there is Orio al Serio Airport (Bergamo)—the go-to choice for bargain hunters—connected to Milan’s city center by a constant stream of shuttle buses that take around 50 minutes.
Speaking of saving money, there is a huge range of low-cost airlines serving Milan.
The undisputed leader is Ryanair; while its main operational base is at Bergamo Orio al Serio, it also operates extensive flights to and from Malpensa, connecting destinations across Italy and Europe at often incredibly low prices. Another key option is easyJet, which has a major hub at Malpensa (Terminal 2) and also runs some routes from Linate. If you are arriving from Eastern Europe or certain destinations in Southern Italy, it is worth checking out Wizz Air, a major player at both Malpensa and Bergamo. Additionally, for domestic routes to the islands or the south, you can often find great deals with Aeroitalia and Volotea.
What about traveling by ship? Well, Milan is inland and obviously has no direct access to the sea, so you cannot disembark right in the city. However, if you are arriving from the islands (such as Sicily or Sardinia) or Spain and prefer to travel by ferry—perhaps to bring your car or motorcycle along—the main maritime hub is the port of Genoa. Once you disembark in Genoa, the rest of the journey is a breeze: you can hop on a regional or Intercity train and reach Milan Centrale station in about an hour and a half, or drive there via the A7 motorway.
