In Airports, Europe, In Transit, Italy

Milano Malpensa has become somewhat of a second home airport for us over the last few years. We fly into the Malpensa a few times a year and can navigate the airport with our eyes closed. We are often asked what is the best way to get from Milano Malpensa to city center, so we thought we would share a quick guide for all of you.

Since “best” depends on one’s preference (quickest, cheapest, most comfortable, etc.), here are the need to know on all four options. Our preferred and most used method has always been the bus (Malpensa Shuttle).

Transportation Options
