Milan airports

The city itself and its immediate surroundings are served by no fewer than three airports. Remarkably, the capital, Rome, has only two. Milan's airports differ in the areas they serve, as well as in size and popularity among visitors. The airports are:

• Milan Linate;
• Bergamo Orio al Serio;
• Milan Malpensa.

Linate

This airport is the closest to Milan itself, just seven kilometres away. Linate is the oldest and smallest airport in the area. Its main role is to handle domestic flights and flights from some Schengen countries. Most likely, your plane is not flying here.

Bergamo Orio al Serio

This is a medium-sized airport. It is located relatively close to Milan, although not as close as Linate. Its popularity is due to the fact that most European low-cost airlines fly here.

Milan Malpensa

The largest airport in the city and the second largest in the country. If you are flying to Milan, or to Italy in general, you are most likely to land here. Most international airlines land at this airport.

How to get to the city

There are several ways to get from the airport to Milan, including:

• commercial buses, which depart on a first-come, first-served basis once they are full – very inconvenient for those who need to leave on time;
• trains – quite convenient, unless, of course, you run into a rail strike;
• local taxis in Milan, booked via Uber or hailed at the kerb – with this option you risk simply not finding a car because of the large number of tourists in Milan;
• a transfer to Milan booked online in advance – this option has none of the drawbacks of the previous ones, plus the added advantage of English-speaking staff.

Milan taxis – features and nuances

Milan taxis are privately owned but must be licensed by the authorities. Fares are regulated in most cases, but no one is safe from scammers looking to make a quick profit from foreign tourists in Milan.

Useful tips for tourists in Milan

• Official taxis wait at the exits of Terminals 1 and 2 at Malpensa. Please note: the maximum capacity is 4 passengers, and the journey takes 50–60 minutes.
• Taxi queues are longest in the summer months. From June to August, you may have to wait up to half an hour for a car.
• Make sure there is a sticker on the windscreen that reads "Taxi autorizzato per il servizio aeroportuale lombardo". It means that the fare will follow the fixed tariffs set by the regulations. Without this sticker, you could be overcharged.
• Remember that Italians generally speak little English, so communicating with the driver may be difficult.

What taxis in Milan look like

Official Milan taxis are white cars, always with a black sign on the roof bearing the word "Taxi".

Tipping in Milan taxis

This is entirely up to you. Of course, the driver will be delighted if you round the fare up. But if you pay the exact amount down to the last cent, it will not be taken as an insult.

Private transfer in Milan – advantages

A private transfer in Milan booked online in advance is undoubtedly the best way to plan your trip. There is no arguing with that. Its main advantages include:

• cheaper and better value – you will know the fare before your journey begins, and it is guaranteed not to change even if your flight is delayed;
• the whole group can travel together – unlike local taxis, which carry only 4 passengers, a transfer can be booked for a group of any size;
• advance booking means no waiting in queues and no frustration over a missed train;
• convenience – when you arrive in Milan, you will be met and escorted to the car, so there is no need to look for the parking area yourself or worry about dishonest drivers;
• choice of vehicle – economy or premium, VIP or business-class cars.

And the main advantage of Taxi Transfer Service transfers in Milan and across Italy is our English-speaking staff, who will gladly give you complete and clear advice and answer any questions you may have.
