Getting To & From Malpensa Airport by Bus


I’ve gotten quite a few questions recently about the best ways to get to and from Milan’s Malpensa Airport, and since I’ve already talked about the very-fabulous Malpensa Express train, I figured I should cover more bases and talk this time about the various Malpensa Airport buses. There are a few bus companies that serve the airport, and a few cities that have direct lines to and from Malpensa, so you’ve got a few choices.

According to the Malpensa website, the airport is connected by bus with Milan, Turin, Lugano, Chiasso, Genoa, Novara, Como, Lago Maggiore, Domodossola, Gallarate, Castelnovate, Brescia, Bergamo, Bologna and Verona (among other cities which are intermediate stops). The timetables listed on the website are only for the routes from Malpensa to these various cities, so you’ll have to contact the bus companies for more details about getting from any of these cities to Malpensa - you can either call them, check their websites (not all of them have websites, however) or just make a point of going to the bus terminal in advance of your expected trip so you can find out more information.

The bus company names are in bold, along with the final destination of each route, and the pertinent information about each route is underneath. Keep in mind that schedules and prices can change, so always double-check before you start to hand over exact change at one of the specified times listed below.
