Milan Malpensa — Malpensa Shuttle + Terravision + Autostradale
Milan Malpensa (MXP) to Milan — Updated 2026
Milan Malpensa (MXP) has four coach operators running directly to Milano Centrale: Malpensa Shuttle, Terravision, Autostradale, and STIE — all charging €10 and arriving at the same Piazza Luigi di Savoia drop-off. Departures every 20 minutes during the day, hourly overnight (Malpensa Shuttle only). Buses leave from Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 bus plazas. Journey is 50–60 minutes off-peak, 70–80 minutes during weekday rush hours (07:30–09:00 and 17:00–19:30) due to A8 motorway congestion. For most travellers the Malpensa Express train at €13 is more predictable, but the bus saves €3 and is essential overnight. Linate (LIN) is served by the Linate Shuttle €5 and ATM Line 73 €2, and Bergamo (BGY) by Terravision + Orio Shuttle €5 — both 40–60 min to central Milan.
