Welcome to Milan! Whether you’re traveling from within Italy or coming from abroad, Milan is easily accessible by various means of transportation. Here’s how you can get to the heart of the city:
By Plane
Milan is served by three major airports:
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP): Located 50 km northwest of the city, Malpensa is the largest international airport in Milan, with connections to most major cities around the world. You can easily reach the city center via the Malpensa Express train, bus services, or taxis.
Milan Linate Airport (LIN): Just 7 km from the city, Linate is perfect for short-haul flights within Europe and domestic routes. You can get from Linate to the heart of Milan by taxi, bus (Line 73), or the M4 (Blue) Metro line.
Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport (BGY): Known for budget airlines, Bergamo is about 45 km from Milan. Buses and shuttles frequently connect to the main train stations of Milan.
By Train
Milan is a major hub in the Italian and European railway network, making it very easy to reach by train. The main station, Milano Centrale, connects with cities like Rome, Venice, Florence, and international destinations such as Paris and Zurich. High-speed trains make travel swift and comfortable.
By Car
If you prefer driving, Milan is well connected by highways (autostrade) from all major Italian and European cities. However, keep in mind that Milan has two traffic–restricted zones (Area B and C). Make sure to check the rules and verify if your vehicle can enter.
By Bus
Long-distance buses, including FlixBus and other international services, regularly stop at Milano, offering budget-friendly options from many European destinations.
Once you’ve arrived in Milan, the city offers an efficient and widespread public transportation system, including metro, trams, buses, taxis and ride-sharing services. The Conference takes place at Bovisa Campus, situated in the northern part of the city. It is well connected by public transport, making it easy to reach from various parts of Milan. Here’s how you can get to the Campus:
By Train
The fastest and most convenient way to reach the Bovisa Campus is by train.
The campus is located near the Milano Bovisa railway station, which is served by multiple suburban train lines (S1, S2, S3, S4, S13), as well as regional and high-speed trains from Milano Centrale, Milano Garibaldi, and Milano Cadorna stations.
The campus is just a short walk from the station.
From Milano Centrale: Take the S1, S2, or S13 suburban lines to Milano Bovisa.
The journey takes about 15-20 minutes.
From Milano Cadorna: Take the S3 or S4 suburban lines directly to Milano Bovisa. The trip takes approximately 10 minutes.
By Metro and Bus
Metro: You can also take the Metro Line M3 (yellow line) to Dergano station, then transfer to a bus (Line 82) which will bring you close to the Bovisa campus.
Bus: Several bus lines connect to Bovisa, including Line 92 and Line 82, both of which stop near the campus.
By Car
If you prefer to drive, the Bovisa Campus is easily accessible by car. However, parking in the area can be limited, so it’s recommended to use public transportation when possible. The congestion charge zone (Area C) in the city center does not apply to the Bovisa area.
By Bike or Scooter
Milan has a well-developed network of bike lanes and shared bike and scooter services, making it easy to cycle or use an electric scooter to reach the campus. Services like BikeMi and MiMoto have docking stations and parking spots near Bovisa.
