The metro terminates at the eastern edge of the historic centre at San Babila station, where you can change to the red M1 line towards Duomo, Cadorna railway station or Lampugnano long-distance bus station.

Taxi
Taxis are particularly useful in the early morning or late evening, when only the long-haul 154 bus runs to the airport.
The price of taxis to central Milan is calculated according to the taxi meter and varies between 25 eur and 30 eur.
Car rental
If you're heading straight from the airport to the Alps or the sea and want to see as many places as possible, we recommend renting a car directly from the terminal.
Most multinational and some local car rental companies are based at the airport and prices start at around 50 eur per day.
Long-distance buses
Flixbus coaches to several destinations also stop directly outside the Linate Airport terminal.
