HOW TO GET BY PLANE: Milan transfer <-> Airports
Surrounded by airports, the most important, Milan Malpensa 30km from the city center. Normally you will arrive at MALPENSA T1 if you want to take Vueling / Ryanair / Norwegian and for intercontinental flights, if you arrive with Easyjet, you will get T2.
To move from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 and vice versa, a free 24-hour shuttle service is available with a frequency of approximately 7 minutes, from 06.00 to 23.00 and approximately 30 minutes, from 23.00 to 06.00.
Once you arrive at Malpensa there are several ways to get to the center: the taxi method I strongly discourage you due to its high price. MALPENSA EXPRESS and in Bus.
The second airport is LINATE you can get by Bus or by Public transport.
The third airport instead is only for Ryanair flights, if you arrive at ORIO AL SERIO, you will have the possibility to take the Bus or rather the Orio shuttle from 4 €.
Or by train: use the convenient ATB bus service which will take you to Bergamo train station in just 10 minutes and then take a train to Milan (Stazione Centrale or Garibaldi).
