Malpensa Airport (MXP) is Milan’s main international airport. It’s about 50 kilometers from the city center. The trip can take 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic and the transport you choose. You can get there by train, bus, taxi, or book a private transfer.

By Train

The Malpensa Express connects several stations in Milan — Milano Centrale, Cadorna, and Porta Garibaldi — directly with the airport. Trains leave every 30 minutes, starting early in the morning and running until late at night.

Travel time ranges from 35 to 50 minutes. Tickets cost €13 for adults, €6.50 for children aged 4–13, and kids under 3 travel free with an adult. Stations are well-signposted, and trains arrive at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.

By Bus

Several shuttle buses run between the center of Milan and Malpensa. Operators include Terravision, Autostradale, and Malpensa Shuttle. Buses leave from Milano Centrale and other major points in the city.

The ride usually takes about 50 to 60 minutes. Tickets start at €10 and can be bought online or from the driver. It’s a good option if you’re traveling on a budget or with light luggage.

By Taxi

Official white taxis charge a fixed rate of €110 from Milan’s center to Malpensa Airport. The journey takes about an hour, but this depends on the time of day. Taxis are available throughout the city, especially near train stations and major hotels.

Make sure to use a licensed taxi to avoid unexpected charges. You can confirm the flat fare before the ride begins — that way, there are no misunderstandings.
