Signs from arrivals lead to the Malpensa Express station, the bus stops and the official taxi rank outside. Use only licensed white taxis from the rank, and turn down offers of rides from people who approach you inside the terminal. If you booked a driver, look for them in the arrivals hall of the terminal where you land, and tell them if your flight changes terminal.

Transporte terrestre

The Malpensa Express train is the most direct way into central Milan for most travelers, while coaches, taxis and private transfers suit trips to the lakes or with heavy luggage.

  • Malpensa Express train

    Trains leave from stations at Terminal 2 and Terminal 1 for Milano Cadorna, or for Milano Porta Garibaldi and Milano Centrale, taking 30 to 50 minutes depending on the service. Check the departure board, as the two routes end at different stations.

  • Bus to Milano Centrale

    Coach companies including Malpensa Shuttle, Malpensa Bus Express and Flibco run to Milano Centrale in 60 to 70 minutes. Journey times grow in heavy traffic, which the train avoids.

  • Coaches to Lake Como, Lake Maggiore and Turin

    Direct coaches run from the airport to Como, the Lake Maggiore area, Domodossola, Novara, Turin and Genoa. Departures are less frequent than buses to Milan, so check timetables in advance.
