Malpensa Hotels
Milan’s main airport is 50 kilometres (30 miles) from the centre. The Ferrovie Nord’s Malpensa Express train runs every 30 minutes – from 06.00 to 20.00 – to Cadorna metro station in the city centre, with stops along the way. A single fare is approximately €9. You can buy tickets at the Ferrovie Nord (FN) desks in the airport. You must stamp your ticket in one of the yellow machines on the platform before boarding. Don’t buy them on the train itself, as there’s a hefty surcharge. Between 20.00 and midnight the train is replaced by the Malpensa Bus Express, which departs every 20 minutes to the central station and takes approximately 1 hour 20 minutes. The service also stops on request at Milan Fiera.
Tickets can be bought in the arrivals hall and cost approximately €6. A taxi from Malpensa to Milan costs approximately €75. Journey time is around 45 minutes. Beware of the rush hour traffic, which can lengthen the trip substantially (and increase you fare.) Use only white or yellow taxis lined up at the ranks and avoid all drivers who solicit business as you exit the terminal.
