Centrale
by Erkmen
Yep sooner or later you will come here, If you travel by train..
Centrale is not located in a good district but why bother.. You will only get off or get on the train..
Centrale station has a very nice building. Once you enter the building on the ground floor there are ticket boxes and trains leave up the stairs.. Shops and luggage deposit are on the second floor..
Trains leaves to all major Italian towns and also international lines.
Navigli
by s583
I love Navigli and its canal or canals in the making. We passed excavation of the old canal before reaching the flower market which happened to take place the week we visited. We discovered a few good restaurants along the canal and would go back from time to time to sample them slowly.
The most expensive shops you'll ever see...
by Henrik_rrb about Fashion and leather
... you'll find at Via Monte Napoleone, close to the San Babila.
These shops are exclusive, in the way that you'll find like 1 shoe, one pair of pants, and on shirt in every shop, and if you want to buy all three of them you'll have to pay like 5000 euro...
Well, really that crazy isn't it, but these shops are so famous and expensive that it's actually quite funny to just walk around on this street and look in the windows. Not every day you'll see a pricetag with 5000 euro written on it...
Just make sure you'll leave your creditcard back at the hotel... :-) Clothes, shoes, jewelry for both women and man. More than you make in a year... NOT depending on which work you have... :-)
Malpensa to Milan
by Erkmen
I was wondering which way was better to get to Milan center. There were two options train and shuttle buses.
Malpensa Express trains are leaving every half hour at 15 and 45 pass the hour. And buses every 20 minutes.
Trains travel time is 40 minute, While buses were told to be around 50-60 minutes..
So I have tried both of them in two different visits and here is the result.
First Option Train: Malpensa Express
Trains were leaving on the ground floor of Terminal 1 and I was in the first floor of Terminal 2.. I followed the signs and soon I was on the Terminal 1 and got my ticket..
Dont forget to stamp your train ticket at the gates..
Train takes an exact drive of 45 minutes to Milan Cadorna Train Station. When you get familiar to the city you understand that traveling to Cadorna is a good option, if later on you shall stay in Milan Center. Cadorna is not in the center ( Neither the Central Train Station), but close distance to many places by Metro.
So, if you are not going to take a train from Milano Centrale, use Malpensa Express. Its very comfortable, fast and taking you close to the city center.
