Getting from Malpensa to Milan

The Malpensa Express train links Terminals 1 and 2 to Milano Cadorna and Milano Centrale in about 50 minutes, and Malpensa Shuttle and Autostradale coaches also serve Centrale. From either you transfer onward with your luggage. Because Malpensa is about 50 km from the city, a private transfer (45 to 60 minutes) is the direct option, especially for the Italian Lakes.

Frequently asked questions

Where does my driver meet me at Malpensa?

Your driver will be inside the arrivals hall of your terminal — T1 or T2 — with a sign showing your name. You will receive their photo, car details and WhatsApp number the day before your transfer.

Is a private transfer from MXP better than the Malpensa Express?

The Malpensa Express reaches Milano Centrale but not your hotel door, doesn't run through the night, and requires a connection for most addresses. For anyone with luggage, a group, or heading to the lakes, a private transfer is door-to-door and often comparable in total cost.

Can I book MXP directly to Lake Como?

Yes. MXP to Lake Como is one of our most popular routes — approximately 50 km and 40–55 minutes, passing through the pre-Alpine foothills. Fixed price, confirmed at booking.

Do you cover both MXP terminals?

Yes. We cover Terminal 1 (international flights) and Terminal 2 (low-cost). Your driver will be at the correct terminal for your arrival, confirmed from your flight details at booking.
