Getting Around
How to get to and from Milan Malpensa International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at MXP
Milan Malpensa International Airport is connected to Ferno (VA) and the wider Italy transport network by multiple ground transport options.
Malpensa Express serves both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, running to Milano Centrale (and also Cadorna/Milano Porta Garibaldi depending on the line) in roughly 30-50 minutes. Current one-way adult fare is €15 (children 4-13 €7.50); a 30-day return fare is available online.
Several coach operators (e.g. Malpensa Shuttle, Autostradale, Terravision) run frequent buses to Milano Centrale and Cadorna, typically around €8-10 one-way and 50-75 minutes depending on traffic.
Malpensa-to-Milan taxis run on a municipality-regulated fixed fare rather than the meter for direct trips (recent sources cite €114 to Milano Centrale), but fixed-tariff lists are revised periodically, so confirm the posted fare at the rank or with the driver before departing. Currency: EUR.
Uber operates in Milan, but only as Uber Black/premium licensed-chauffeur (NCC) service — there is no UberX-style option due to Italian taxi regulations — so fares are comparable to or higher than a taxi, not a cheap alternative.
Yes — all major international car rental brands have desks in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 arrivals.
Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 at Malpensa are separate buildings with no walkway between them; transferring requires the free shuttle bus or a one-stop ride on the Malpensa Express train. Always double-check which terminal your flight uses and budget transfer time if connecting.
