In Milan, there is a total of three international airports, namely Milano Linate, Milano Malpensa and Milano
Bergamo (Orio al Serio).
From Linate to the city center: Linate is the closest airport to the city center (7 km East of
Milan city center). You can easily reach Milano central station by: o Bus: operated by ATM and StarFly every 30 minutes – 5 euros one-way or 8
euros round trip – tickets can be bought on the bus. Round trip is cheaper,
but you will have to wait for specific company for your trip back to the airport.
