Getting to the city
Orio al Serio is not a walk-into-town airport, so decide how you will reach Milan before you land. Road transfers and the rail connection through Bergamo are the options most travellers weigh up; check which one suits your arrival time, because late landings leave you with fewer choices. On the way back, add a buffer, since the approach to Milan can be slow, and confirm your pickup point in advance rather than sorting it out at the kerb.
