This train station is absolutely gorgeous, but it's also so easy to get lost within it. There is a…read morelack of signage and plenty of stores and underground levels. I had only been once before when I was a teenager and I wasn't doing the navigating. If you're arriving, it's an easy experience because you can hop off your train and get a nice bite to eat or explore shops. You can also easily hop on the metro to get to different spots in Milan. On our recent trip, we weren't leaving from this train station so it seemed a bit easier. The one frustrating part was trying to find a bathroom for my mom. The bathroom lines are long and an awkward €1.20. Besides this, I mostly enjoyed my time at this station. I loved looking at the large timetable of departing trains

There are a couple of shops inside to get essentials or a snack/drink before getting on your train, and a Carrefour Express across the way for basic grocery essentials. The station is easy to follow, with the huge red posts being an iconic and instantly recognisable symbol of the station. Not too big, or exciting, but certainly does the job, even though it certainly can't compete with Milano Centrale. 3*

Efficient and clean. That's what a train station in Europe should be. Well done.read more

Simple enough and easy to access though some additional street level signage would have been helpful. I did manage to find the stairs. Repubblica is an underground station and there are the usual automated ticket vending machines and such. It is an island platform, which means that the doors will open on the left. The station is apparently handicapped accessible. The station is on Line 3 (Yellow) between Central (towards Comasina) and Turati (towards San Donato). [Review 10704 overall, 472 of 2019.]

When living in the Centro Storico section of Milan we used this service often and boarded at the Cadorna train station. Have your ticket ready to scan for access to the platform and to show the train conductor. See the departures board at the station for track assignment. In our experience, Malpensa Express has a dedicated track at each station so if you use it often, you know where it will be. When purchasing tickets specify if you want to arrive at the Malpensa T1 or T2 station. One terminal is for flights within Schengen, the other is for destinations that require boarder crossing. Your flight confirmation should specify which terminal you are leaving from. Malpensa Express trains are 'direct'. When traveling from Cadorna to T1 the trip takes just over half an hour and costs one way thirteen euro. A direct train to T2 takes 3/4 of an hour for the same price. Other direct trains depart from Centrale station and Garibaldi station. All are the same price. Be sure you are using the Malpensa Express website to book these 'door to door' trains online. Each trip is under an hour in duration and conveniently arrive right below the airport. The trains offer overhead luggage racks for small bags, some storage is located behind/between seats and many cars have luggage racks by the door. All carriages are 1st class, the seats are comfortable and as there are no stops, there is no worries about missing your stop. Malpensa is the 'end of the line' or when leaving from the airport, your station of choice is the 'end of the line'. Several stations in Milan offer this direct Express service but not all of them. In these cases, you will need to book a separate train to reach your final destination or use the Metro. For a train, you may want to try the Trenitalia.com website for an English version of the Italian train service. Metro information is at milanpublictransport.com/metro-milan/ When you purchase your ticket from one of the many ticket machines at the station, be sure to 'punch' the ticket at one of the small green boxes on the platform to validate the ticket. If you purchase the ticket online bring a printout or have a screenshot ready for the conductor. You can purchase your ticket from the ticket agent at the airport station upon arrival. Follow the signs for Malpensa Express down to the lower level. A ticket counter is located at the top of the escalators and ticket machines are off to one side. The agents are not known for being chatty in English. All you need to know is how many biglietti you need ('bee-eht-tee') and what station you are trying to reach: Centrale, Garibaldi, etc. The ticket machines offer a number of language options - just touch the British flag icon for English.
