Known for its culture, fashion, and gastronomy, Milan has been one of Italy’s leading destinations for decades. Whether you’re a first-time tourist or a returning passionate about this exciting city, planning your transfers in advance is highly recommended to travel more confidently.

Although Milan-Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport (BGY) is geographically closer to Bergamo, its strategic location in the Lombardy region (approximately 45 km to Milan) makes it a convenient transportation option for travellers visiting Milan and Bergamo. Thus, several transport options exist from Bergamo Airport to Milan Railway Central Station (Milano Centrale in Italian).

Milan’s public transport network is pretty efficient with wide operating hours at relatively economical prices; a bus ride will cost €8 and the train €5.50 per traveller. There is also the option to add extra comfort to your journey and take a taxi that will take you directly to Milano Centrale for around €130 for up to 3 passengers. To avoid overcharging and make the most of your time, you can pre-book a private door-to-door ride with an English-speaking driver through Welcome Pickups, all at a competitive fixed price and no driver-waiting fees if you’d like to stop somewhere along the way.

Editor’s Note

Some Azienda Trasporti Milanese (ATM) companies do not provide a direct ride to Milano Centrale, so make sure you know the stops before the final destination of your chosen bus company since that can add to your journey time.

Useful Tips

On ATM buses, you will be required to carry and stow your own luggage, so this may not be the best option if you have lots of luggage or need extra mobility assistance.

Luggage limitations are very similar to those for hand luggage on flights; those under 50 centimetres travel free, those measuring between 50 and 90 cm cost €1.50 each, and those over 90 cm are not allowed.

You can buy the ATM tickets on vending machines or inside the bus.

When you buy a bus ticket, you can also use the tram and the metro for 90 minutes from the first validation if you do not exit and re-enter the station.
