Getting to the city
Milan has three airports and they are not interchangeable: Linate, Malpensa and Bergamo/Orio al Serio each sit in a different part of the region, so a ticket into the wrong one turns a short hop into a long detour. Before you land, check which transfer options run from your terminal and how late they operate, and allow extra time at peak hours when road traffic is heaviest. Leave a generous buffer before your flight home, and if you are moving between Milan's airports, treat it as a separate journey.
