How to reach the Conference Venue from anywhere in the city

We recommend using bus line number 87 (instead of the underground) and getting off at the Teatro Arcimboldi stop.

You can reach Milan by Air, Train, Bus or Car.

By Air

Milan is served by three airports: Milano Linate, Milano Malpensa and Bergamo Orio Al Serio. Linate is the closest to the city centre, and you can easily reach the conference venue by public transportation. Malpensa and Orio Al Serio are far away but are very well connected by bus and/or train (Malpensa).

Best way to reach the conference venue from Linate City Airport: http://www.milanolinate-airport.com/en - Take bus no. 73 in the "National Arrivals Exit" area. Get off at the Stazione Forlanini stop (after five stops). Enter the Milano Forlanini train station and get on the S9 train to Saronno (this train service is called "passante", it is regionally operated). Get off at Milano Greco Pirelli station (after two stops).

Best way to reach the conference venue from Milano Malpensa Airport: http://www.milanomalpensa-airport.com/en - Take the "Malpensa Express" train service to the Milano Porta Garibaldi train station (Milano P.ta Garibaldi). Get on the S11 train to Como S. Giovanni (or S8 to Lecco) (this train service is called "passante", it is regionally operated), then get off at the next stop, Milano Greco Pirelli.

Travel Tips

  • One-way public transportation ticket costs €2,00, it lasts 90 minutes and can be used on underground trains, trams, and buses. It can be used on the Passante train service but only within city limits.
  • The Passante train service is faster than the underground (and takes you closer to the conference venue), so you can check for accommodations near its stations.
  • Bus service from Orio al Serio airport to Milano Centrale train station costs around €10,00 (one way per person), but you can save €2,00 by buying the return ticket.
  • The Malpensa Express train ticket costs €13,00.
  • You can use the Trenord App to buy tickets online for the Passante trains with PayPal or Credit Cards.
  • You can use the ATM App to buy tickets online for the underground, trams and busses.
  • There are several car park areas around the conference venue. The cost is €1,20 per hour.
