Arriving at the airport and finding your way out of arrivals
After landing, follow the signs for baggage reclaim and then proceed through the relevant checks before entering the public arrivals area. Once outside arrivals, look for the official transport information, taxi directions, car hire desks and meeting points for pre-booked transfers. Keep your booking details available on your phone, and check whether your driver is instructed to meet you inside or outside the building.
If you are collecting a hire car, allow time to complete the paperwork and inspect the vehicle before leaving. If you are meeting friends or family, agree on a clear pickup point in advance, as the area can become busy when several flights arrive close together.
Getting into town
Private transfer: A pre-booked car takes you directly to your accommodation and is useful if you have luggage, are travelling in a group or prefer not to make connections. Check the meeting instructions and cancellation terms before you travel.
Taxi: Follow the official signs to the authorised taxi rank rather than accepting an unsolicited offer inside the arrivals area. Confirm the destination and payment arrangements with the driver before setting off.
Public transport: Bus and rail connections can provide a practical alternative, but the best option depends on your final destination, arrival time and luggage. Check current routes, service updates and connections with the airport or transport provider before leaving.
Hire car: A car gives you flexibility beyond Milan, especially if your plans include several stops. Review parking rules and restricted traffic areas before driving into the city, and allow for busy roads around the metropolitan area.
