Milan Malpensa International Airport

Milan Malpensa Airport is about 49 km northwest of central Milan, in the province of Varese.

No. Milan has three airports. Malpensa (MXP) is 49 km northwest of the city and handles most long-haul flights. Linate (LIN) is on the city's eastern edge and serves mainly domestic and European routes. Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY) is near Bergamo, northeast of Milan. Check the code on your ticket, as they are far apart.

Malpensa has two terminals. Terminal 1 handles most airlines, with Concourse A for domestic and Schengen flights and Concourses B and C for non-Schengen and intercontinental flights. Terminal 2, the older building, is used only by easyJet. A free shuttle bus runs between them 24 hours a day, and Malpensa Express trains stop at both.

easyJet uses Terminal 2 for all of its flights at Malpensa, and it is the only airline there. All other airlines, including Ryanair, Wizz Air and long-haul carriers such as Emirates and Delta Air Lines, use Terminal 1. If you are connecting between terminals, take the free shuttle bus, which runs about every 7 minutes.

A free shuttle bus links Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 around the clock, running about every 7 minutes, and the ride takes 15 to 20 minutes. You can also take the Malpensa Express train, which stops at both terminals. Allow extra time if you need to change terminals for a connecting flight.

The official taxi rank is outside the arrivals area. Use only licensed white taxis from the rank and decline offers from people approaching you inside the terminal. The drive to central Milan takes around 50 minutes, and traffic at rush hour can make it longer. Taxis also go directly to Lake Como and Lake Maggiore.

The Malpensa Express train runs from stations at Terminal 2 and Terminal 1 to central Milan. One route ends at Milano Cadorna, and the other runs to Milano Porta Garibaldi and Milano Centrale. Trips take 30 to 50 minutes depending on the service, so check the departure board for the station you need.

Yes. Uber operates at Malpensa with several options, including Uber Taxi, Black and Van, and you request a ride through the app after landing. Availability can be thinner late at night. The official taxi rank outside arrivals, the Malpensa Express train and the airport coaches are alternatives if no car is nearby.

Italy is in the Schengen area, so standard Schengen entry rules apply, and many nationalities can visit visa-free for short stays. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Flights from other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks.

Direct coaches run from Malpensa to Como and to the Lake Maggiore area, as well as to Domodossola, Novara, Turin and Genoa, though they run less often than buses to Milan. You can also go by taxi or private transfer, or take the train into Milan and change to a regional train for Como.

Milan uses Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to summer time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. The currency is the euro (EUR). Summers in Milan are hot and humid, while winters are cold and often foggy, which is worth keeping in mind for travel to the lakes and mountains.

Malpensa is operated by SEA Aeroporti di Milano, which also runs Linate. It handled about 31.2 million passengers in 2025, up from about 28.9 million in 2024. The airport has two parallel runways, each 3,920 m long, and has served civil flights since 1948.
