From Malpensa you can take the train (Malpensa express) as well as several buses which will bring you to the Milano Railway station. We suggest you buy the return train ticket Milano Malpensa – downtown Milano (Milano Centrale or Milano Cadorna) – Milano Malpensa directly on the website at least one day before the trip (price will be 20 EUR instead of 26 EUR).
Of course, the option to get downtown by taxi is also available, but with much higher prices.

Milan has a very good public transport system and you can decide to reach the University by tram, bus and metro directly from the Milano Linate Airport, according to your location (Home ATM, Azienda Trasporti Milanesi) and we suggest you move by public transport during the Congress days to visit the beautiful city.
