Getting there by public transport
Malpensa airport, located 48 km from the city, is the main airport in northern Italy thanks to its many national and international connections. It has two Terminals, connected to each other 24 hours a day, by a free shuttle bus service equipped for wheelchair passengers.
The "Malpensa Express" trains, run by Trenord, connect the two Terminals of the airport to Milano Cadorna railway station (served by the underground trains of the M1 and M2 lines) and Milano Centrale railway station (served by the underground trains of the M2 and M3 lines) with an intermediate stop at Milano Porta Garibaldi railway station (M2 and M5 lines).
