According to the airport, the Malpensa Express train links T1-T2 with Milano Centrale, stopping at Porta Garibaldi, Bovisa Politecnico, Saronno and others. Trains leave Centrale from 5:25 to 23:25 and the airport from 5:09 to 22:09, every 30 minutes. The Pinacoteca di Brera also describes taking the Malpensa Express to Cadorna station and changing to M2. You can tap a credit or debit card at the gate instead of buying a ticket.
According to the airport, four bus operators run between Milano Centrale (Via Sammartini) and the airport, together about every 20 minutes. Buses leave Centrale from 3:20 to 0:50 and the airport from 5:00 to 2:40. At the airport they stop in the bus area on Level -1 of Terminal 1, near the railway station. A free shuttle connects T1 and T2.
These are the main fixed fares published by the airport. The Milan fare covers any street in the city, and the same fares apply for trips to the airport.
According to ATM, metro line M4 connects Linate Airport with the city centre. Use it if you arrive at Linate.
The Italian tourism board describes Milan as a city made for long walks. Piazza del Duomo, the Galleria, Brera and the Castello Sforzesco are close to one another and easy to see on foot.
ATM lists a 90-minute ticket at EUR 2.20, a 24-hour ticket at EUR 7.60, a 3-day ticket at EUR 15.50 (from first validation to the end of service on the third day) and a 10-trip carnet at EUR 19.50. In fare zones Mi1-Mi3 they are valid on the metro, buses, trams, trolleybuses and Trenord S lines. Buy them from machines in every metro station, authorised resellers or the official ATM app.
Tap a credit or debit card, phone or smartwatch to ride the metro, buses and trams; there is no extra charge and the cheapest fare is applied. After four journeys in a day, the daily fare applies. On the metro, tap in and out with the same card. Contactless works only on ATM services, not on S lines or rail services.
The metro runs on lines M1 (red), M2 (green), M3, M4 and M5 (lilac). For the Last Supper use M1 Cadorna or Conciliazione or M2 Cadorna; for the Pinacoteca di Brera use M2 Lanza, M3 Montenapoleone or M1 Cairoli. From Milano Centrale take M2 or M3 to Brera.
When the metro stops, night buses run within the city, and you need a Mi1-Mi3 ticket (the EUR 2.20 ticket, daily ticket and so on). The bike-sharing service listed by ATM (standard and electric bikes) works through its app, and you can take your own bicycle or e-scooter on the metro free of charge.
