MXP Airport (T1 arrivals level) → Milano Centrale (west side)

50 min · Every 20-30 minutes · 04:00 - 22:30 (varies slightly by operator)

💡 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)

50 min · Every 20–30 minutes · 05:00–23:30

💡 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

50 min · on-demand · 24/7

Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Hotel Ambra (via G.B. Pirelli, 6)

45 min · On demand · 24 hours

💡 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)

50 min · Every 30 minutes · 05:25 - 23:27

💡 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

50 min · Every 30 minutes · 05:30–22:30

💡 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.

50 min · Every 20–30 minutes · 05:00–23:30

Via Settembrini (near Centrale Station) → Piazza del Duomo

15 min · Every 8–10 minutes · 05:00–01:30

2 min · Every 2-4 minutes during peak, every 6-8 minutes off-peak · 06:00 - 00:30

💡 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)

15 min · Every 8-12 minutes · 05:00 - 02:00

💡 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.
