Oh, just saw this addendum. That definitely helps, but there are still factors you can’t control. You’ll probably be fine, but I’d still make sure I had a back-up plan – just in case.

Milan’s airport isn’t terribly big, but the variables of getting through passport control & customs (assuming you need to do that) as well as picking up your checked bag & then getting from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2… It’s impossible for me to make an accurate time guess on that, I’m afraid. If I were you, I’d just make sure to have a back-up plan if something delays your arrival at the train – know when the next train to Florence is, or whether you’d need to go into Milan’s Centrale station to catch the next train.

I just thought of an additional bit of information that is relevant. We will be flying into Milan from Paris, so we will not have to go through customs. Thanks,

My wife and I will be arriving at Malpensa, terminal 2, on an Easyjet flight. I bought tickets for the train running from the airport to Florence allowing 1 hour 15 minutes between the time I am scheduled to land and the departure from the station at terminal 1. Do you think this is realistic? I will have one checked bag. Thanks for all the great info!.

It’s absolutely safe. Just be aware of your surroundings, as you should be in any unfamiliar city, & you’ll be fine. If you have any concerns, email the hotel to ask if they think it’s safe. The neighborhood around Centrale may not be pretty, but I don’t think it’s dangerous.

We are arriving at Malpensa airport on June 5th at 17.50 and were thinking of taking the trail into Milan Centrale and walking the 800metres to our hotel. Is that safe and viable for 2 females?

Well, the round-trip is cheaper, so if you’re hoping to save money, then – yes. As you’ll see in the article above, there’s no round-trip option for traveling to Centrale Station, only to Cadorna.

We are arriving in Milan via Malpensa airport and visiting for 9 days. Should we buy round trip Malpensa Express tickets?

There are a few coaches that make regular transfers between Linate and Malpensa, so you should be able to make the connection that way:

That’s correct, it’s a ticket good for a round-trip journey, but it doesn’t need to be on the same day.
