Cycling in Milan

Italy’s vibrant fashion capital is served by three main airports, with Milano Malpensa Airport (MXP) being the primary international hub and gateway to Milan.

Upon arrival at MXP, the Malpensa Express is the easiest and most convenient way to get from the airport to the city centre. A total of 34 trains run per day from around 5am to 11:30pm, taking just 51 minutes and allowing you to enjoy a comfortable, relaxing journey that avoids the city’s traffic.

Malpensa Express is also an affordable way to get from MXP to the centre of Milan, with tickets costing only €15 and discounts available for children.

Getting around Milan is extremely easy as the main attractions are within walking distance, whilst longer distances can be covered using the city’s extensive public transport network, comprising metro, tram, and bus services.

The city is served by five underground metro routes – M1 Red, M2 Green, M3 Yellow, M4 Blue, and M5 Lilac – and numerous bus and tram lines, meaning there are plenty of options for getting around Milan via public transport.

Public transport is included in the YesMilano City Pass, which also allows you to discover Milan’s most iconic museums and attractions, saving you up to 70 percent on your visit.

Alternatively, bikes are an eco-friendly and practical means of travelling around Milan, with approximately 144 kilometres of cycle paths and lanes across the city.

Both fixed and free-floating bicycle pick-up and drop-off stations are available, whilst kick scooters and cars can also be shared.

As Milan is an increasingly green city committed to sustainability and environmental quality policies, those travelling by car are required to comply with certain traffic rules and restrictions, however electric cars can benefit from certain concessions.

Licensed taxis in Milan are white and do not usually pick up passengers on the street, but can be requested by phone and online or by going to designated taxi ranks.
