How to get to Milan from the airports – Buses and timetables

Milan has three main airports, Linate, Malpensa and Bergamo.

Linate airport is the closest one to the city center and it is possibile to get there using the public transports:

• Bus 73 connects the airport to San Babila square (Duomo area) from 5.35 am until 0.37 in the morning.
• Bus 73X also connects the airport to San Babila square with only one intermediate stop in Tricolore square (the route runs on weekdays only).
• Bus shuttles to Central Station run frequently throughout the day from Arrivals. A single way ticket costs 5 € and you can download the timetable here.

Malpensa airport is located outside the city and has two terminals.

If you fly to Terminal 2 you can only take a bus shuttle that connects the airport to Central Station with a stop on request at Rho Fiera. Stops are just outside Arrivals and there are two companies in charge of the service:

• Autostradale (timetable )
• Malpensa Shuttle (timetable)
