If you are wondering how to get from Malpensa to Milan, the short answer is that you have three good options: the Malpensa Express train, a direct airport bus, or a taxi or private transfer. The train is the most predictable, the bus is the simplest if you are heading for Stazione Centrale, and a car makes sense when you have heavy luggage or arrive very late. This guide explains how each one works, which one suits which destination, and how to continue to Studio Inn once you reach the city.<\/p>\n

Malpensa Express: the train to Milan<\/h2>\n

The Malpensa Express is run by Trenord, and its airport routes page<\/a> lists two services. One goes to Milano Cadorna, with a journey time of 37 minutes. The other goes to Milano Centrale via Porta Garibaldi, in 51 minutes. Both stop at Malpensa Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Trains to Centrale leave at about 25 and 55 minutes past the hour, according to the same page, so you rarely wait long. You can buy tickets online, in the Trenord app, at ticket offices or through Pay&Go.<\/p>\n

The dedicated site malpensaexpress.it<\/a> describes the service as the direct train connecting Cadorna, Centrale and the airport, and it also has separate access guides for each terminal. If you land at Terminal 2, check which terminal your train leaves from before you head to the platform.<\/p>\n

Direct buses to Milano Centrale<\/h2>\n

Several companies run coaches between the airport and Milano Centrale. According to the airport’s bus page<\/a>, four operators serve the route: Terravision, Malpensa Bus Express, Malpensa Shuttle and Caronte. Together they offer a bus about every 20 minutes, and the early and late departures cover much of the night. In Milan, buses to the airport leave from Via Sammartini, beside the station.<\/p>\n

The bus takes longer than the train in heavy traffic, but it is a single seat from terminal to station and there is no change of platform. It is a sensible choice if you have a lot of luggage or if you arrive at an hour when the train has stopped running.<\/p>\n

Taxi or private transfer<\/h2>\n

Taxis wait outside the arrivals halls at both terminals, and you can also arrange a private transfer in advance. This is the most direct way to reach a door, and it works well for families or groups sharing a car. The journey depends on traffic on the motorway into the city, so allow more time in the morning and evening rush. Always use the official taxi rank and ask the driver to confirm the fare before you set off.<\/p>\n
