    fast train tickets to main destinations in Italy can be bought via app Prontotreno (Android + iPhone) in 2 steps. the time you saved you can spend sipping nice espresso. basically in every cafeteria.

    The place is great, worth visiting even if you are not traveling, the architecture is beyond amazing, watch out your pockets and handbags as there is a lot of pick pockets happening around there

    Amazing architecture, a must visit when in Milan. Pity that, in terms of services, it's the definition of chaos and lack of consideration towards the passengers: being screwed and paying for it.

    You are now at one of the most beautiful railway stations in Europe. It was built in 1864. Don’t forget that suburb lines are marked with ‘S’, while the regional ones with ‘R’.

    Beautiful station. Can get busy so make sure to add some time before your departure. If you've booked online and have a PNR you don't need printed tickets. Head to a cafe and grab some espresso.

    Malpensa Express leaves from platform 1 or 2. It’s obvious if you know it but the platform number is omitted on the giant departure displays in the main hall - probably to confuse first time users!??

    Get your train to across the country, make sure you get the fast one instead the normal one. Get the first class! this is the most efficient way to travel across Europe. Venezia just 2 hr away

    Beautiful architecture and a lot of cafes and restaurants to dine at, however, as a tourist, make sure you get familiar with the station as the signs are often confusing.

    L'accesso ai binari è consentito solo ai possessori di biglietto ferroviario valido. You can go to platforms only if you have a valid train-ticket

    To buy your ticket go inside McDonalds there is a ticket machine much faster than humans 😜 safe travels 😊

    Amazing architecture with a clear Roman influence. The ticket machines warn you of pickpockets but people still try to scam you by trying to tell you that you're doing the wrong thing. WiFi is scarce.

    Huge station ! You will find several restaurants and cafes and stores. When you enter the trains area through the gate you will find Spontini pizza 🍕! a great meal on the train too.

    By far one of the most equipped train stations I have been to - so much on offer! Check out Bistrot Centrale - the best place in the station!

    A good percentage of the stops don't have an elevator ans escalator or the lift is out of order so get prepared to carry your luggage down multiple staircases. Come early so you can be prepared.

    The heart of Milan's transport system is an impressive building with lots of shops inside for last minute things.

    The enormous scale of the building is matched only by the remarkable detailing, the clean mouldings, the sculpture, and the finely-engineered canopies over the platforms. Read more

    Beautiful building, but a little chaotic inside. You can imagine how stunning it must have been to use this station in years gone by.

    Frecciarossa free wifi for 0.01 cent for 24hrs. Not very fast bust still value. Upgrade to business if you can and enjoy the journey with reclined seats and complimentary drink and extra leg room

    stop at chef express to have a coffe or while waiting. it is located on the 3rd level which gives a view of all the trains and the train shedule.

    If you need ticket assistance, say because your train was late and you missed your transfer, the customer service area is 2 floors down from the track level.

    Well,the station is very beautiful and well located,with many buses and trains arriving on it,but when talking about things to do,there aren't many. You can find global stores like Zara and Sephora.

    Beautiful station. Art Deco style (with some facist elements sadly). Main train station of Milan. Various types of services, from commuter to high speed national.

    Really beautiful. The trains that go outside Milan might have a bit of a cue so come with time to spare. Also you can take the subway right there

    Beautiful architecture but needs maintenance. Noisy & packed in the rush hour. Avoid the area in the night, too many shady characters wandering around the area.

    Tickets are sold on the ground floor, trains leave from the second floor. Don't forget to compost your ticket in a special machine! A lot of people, mind your bags

    Unhelpful workers! Be sure to get your ticket validated before you get on the train (it says to on the back of your ticket). If not, you can get a big fine and the conductors can be absolute pricks.

    If you are going to visit the city go to any newspaper corner and buy a daily ticket (around 4€) it's worth much more than ordinary ticket (1,5€) and you can travel in the entire city for free. Enjoy!

    Please do not entertain any men who approach to "help", this is usually a scam when buying train tickets . Best to buy at the main ticket counters or at least within their office (ticket machines).

    in the main ticket office watch out for 'beggars in disguise' who are pretending to help you out with the ticket. only trust the official 'Trenitalia' personnel.
