Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Main Train Stations in Milan and Which One Should I Use?
Milan Centrale (Milano Centrale) is the primary station for high-speed and most long-distance trains. Milano Porta Garibaldi serves some high-speed routes. For regional trains within Lombardy, Cadorna and Rogoredo are also key. Your station depends on your destination and ticket type, always double-check your departure point before traveling.
How Do I Get from Milan Malpensa Airport to the City Center by Train?
The Malpensa Express train connects the airport terminals to Milano Cadorna and Milano Centrale stations. It's a dedicated, non-stop service that is generally faster than a bus or taxi during normal traffic. Tickets can be purchased at the airport stations or via our booking partners for current schedules and fares.
Should I Buy My Train Tickets in Advance for Travel in Italy?
For high-speed trains (Frecciarossa, Italo) between major cities, booking in advance typically secures the best economy fares. For regional trains within Lombardy, prices are fixed and you can usually buy on the day of travel. Validate regional tickets at station machines before boarding to avoid fines.

You can bring luggage on board without extra fees. Space is available in overhead racks, at the ends of carriages, and in designated areas. There are no strict size or weight limits for personal luggage. But space is shared, so be considerate. For large items, check the specific carrier's policy when you book.
How Reliable and Comfortable Are the Trains in Italy?
High-speed trains are modern, comfortable, and generally punctual, offering amenities like power outlets and Wi-Fi. Regional trains are more basic and can experience delays. First-class options offer more space and included services. For the latest on comfort levels and amenities, check with the operator when booking.
