Centrale was the origination and termination of most of my journeys on Milan's metro. The metro station is very busy of course and it's all underground. I will have a separate review of the railway station - the two are connected. There is great signage here even if it did take me three days to determine the best station to exit in the direction of my hotel. Lots of ticketing machines in the ticketing lobby. The ticketing lobby is clean and has some vending machines with candies, snacks and soft drinks. There did not appear to be any litter or graffiti. Centrale is on two of the metro lines. On the M3 (Yellow Line), it is between Sondrio (towards Comasina) and Repubblica (towards San Donato). On the M2 (Green Line), it is between Caiazzo (towards Cologno and Gessate) and Gioia (towards Abbiategrasso and Milanofiori). The station does have handicapped access with ramps and elevators between the street level, the ticketing concourse and the platforms. [Review 10667 overall, 435 of 2019.] read more

Centrale is on Lines 2 and 3 (M2/M3) of the Milan Metro, with the station being located underneath Milano Centrale Railway Station. I did find it to be difficult to navigate the station with multiple entrances and exits, especially after arriving in Milan at night, but once you find the right entrance/exit for you, it's pretty much straightforward. Plenty of ticket machines and staff in day time only. Not the prettiest or most exciting of metro stations, which you may expect considering how grand Centrale Station is overall... but certainly does the job. 3* read more

In the year of the Expo, Milan's infrastructures have come under serious scrutiny. And, though some have passed (none quite with flying colors), Centrale's subway station is definitely NOT one of those. The info point is filled with personnel equipped with bad attitude and little to no english knowledge. Great (in theory) was the idea of having staff helping those trying to purchase tickets at the kiosks, though oftentimes it just they want to approach only cute girls with no intention of helping but jisy flirting. Today, I have witnessed a staff member telling a lady who was asking for directions towards EXPO to get lost (FAR WORSE terms were used) because he had already told her and didn't want to explain it a second time. Since this is our welcoming committee and a business card to all those tourists who may wanna come back, i wonder if we seriously need these people representing us. The staff should know english, be costumer-oriented and certainly a whole lot more patient with all those that are lost and seeking directions. read more
