Milan conjures up ideas of a thriving city which is at the centre of world fashion. Whilst much of that is true Milan is also a very functional city and is also the financial capital of Italy. It is  a very large and busy place that is home to nearly one and a half million people.  There is still plenty to see for the tourist from the main cathedral to Santa Maria della Grazie where Leonardo da Vinci’s last supper is found. From a travel perspective Milan is useful as it is serviced by three airports, if you include Bergamo. The most useful I have found is Milan Linate, however since 2020 this airport doesn’t seem to have the same schedule so often Milan Malpensa is the best or only option. If you can find a flight to Linate it is much better as Malpensa is one of those airport which is miles outside of the city and simply has the name Milan as it is the closest city. The Milan Express is also not much of an express taking around an hour from Malpensa airport to the main train station Milan Centrale. Centrale train station is very useful for travelling and is served by Italy’s high speed train services. From there you can take a train to most major cities on mainland Italy. So whilst there are many things to see in a business centred city Milan also provides good plane routes into Italy and is a springboard to venture further into Italy.
