🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →MXP Airport (T1 arrivals level) → Milano Centrale (west side)
💡 Don't bother with the door-to-door shared van services from the airport — the traffic on the Tangenziale Ovest is brutal, and you'll sit in it. The bus drops you at Centrale, then the metro is three stops to Cadorna.
Malpensa Airport (MXP) – Terminal 1 & 2 → Milan Central Station (Milano Centrale)
💡 Buy tickets online or at airport kiosks to avoid queues. From Centrale, get tram or metro (MM3 yellow line, stop Repubblica, then walk 5 min to Via Tarchetti).
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Hotel Boutique Duomo
💡 Book through the official app or taxi stand queue to avoid being overcharged; fixed rates to central Milan are around €100, but some drivers may try to add surcharges late at night.
Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Hotel Ambra (via G.B. Pirelli, 6)
💡 Ask the driver to drop you on via Scarlatti—Hotel Ambra's entrance is easier that side. Flat rate to city centre, but verify before setting off.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Cadorna Station (then 10 min walk to hotel)
💡 Buy tickets at the machine or online in advance to save €2; the walk from Cadorna to Via Dogana (hotel) goes through Piazza Duomo – quick and scenic, but wheeled luggage rattles on the cobbles.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Milano Cadorna Station
💡 From Cadorna it's a 10-minute walk to Hotel Fioralba. Buy tickets online or at kiosks, avoid buying from ticket touts near the station gates.
Malpensa Airport (MXP) Terminal 1 → Milano Centrale Station
💡 Buy a round-trip ticket online for €26—it's valid for 60 days. From Centrale, walk 8 minutes to hotel: head north on via Vittor Pisani then left onto via G.B. Pirelli.
MXP Airport (T1 & T2) → Milano Cadorna or Milano Centrale
💡 Buy tickets from the Trenord machines before boarding. Validate at the platform — €50 fine if caught without a validated ticket.
Malpensa Airport (MXP) – Terminals 1 & 2 → Milan Cadorna Station (or Centrale or Porta Garibaldi)
💡 Skip Centrale if you're heading directly to Hotel Berlino – get off at Cadorna, then take metro MM1 red line to Porta Venezia and walk 2 minutes to Via G.B. Pirelli.
Via Settembrini (near Centrale Station) → Piazza del Duomo
💡 Buy tickets at metro stations or tabacchi—don't board without validating; inspectors are strict. This tram passes near Hotel Fioralba; get off at Duomo and walk south on Via Mazzini.
Cadorna Station (from Malpensa Express) → Duomo Station (one stop on Line 1 or 3)
💡 Use the same ticket for both train and metro if journey is under 90 minutes total; buy a 24-hour pass (€7.60) if you plan more than two rides that day.
Cadorna Station (tram stop at Via Boccaccio) → Via Dogana (hotel, stop: Teatro alla Scala)
💡 Tram 1 runs past Castello Sforzesco and into Galleria Vittorio Emanuele – great intro to the city; buy a ticket from tabaccherie or the ATM app before boarding, as drivers don't sell them.

Top Attractions in Milano
💡 It's free but no online booking needed. The temporary exhibitions cost extra but are often skip-worthy.
💡 The tearoom next door (Caffè San Maurizio) is a good spot for a quiet coffee, but don't photograph the frescos with flash—the light damages them.
💡 Go early morning to have the place almost to yourself. No photography with flash allowed.
💡 Combines with the adjacent Museo Archeologico (which costs €5) but the church is free. Go just before noon or after 2pm to avoid tour groups.
💡 Bring snacks from the Mercato di Via Paolo Sarpi nearby; park benches fill up by noon on sunny days. The aquarium at the park's edge is free on the first Sunday of the month.
💡 Arrive 30 minutes before opening on free Sundays to avoid a 1-hour queue. Otherwise, standard tickets are €15, but you can book online at no extra cost.
💡 Bring a picnic and sit near the lake. Avoid the small zoo enclosures if animal welfare bothers you.
💡 Bring your own snacks—the on-site cafés are pricey. The grassy areas near the pond are less crowded than the main path.
