Malpensa Mini Guide

How do I get to Malpensa Airport?
There are no direct flights to Italy but a good way of making a connection to Malpensa is through the nearby airport of Zurich. If you want a city break at the start of your holiday you could also consider a flight to London, Paris or Amsterdam before getting a connection. The airport is to the northwest of Milan.

Getting Away From the Airport
The E62 heads up the west coast of Lake Maggiore whilst the A4 goes west to Turin. By taking the A26 south you’ll eventually reach Genoa and the E62 will get you into Milan.

What’s the Airport Like?
It has two terminals; one taking Schengen the other non-Schengen flights. Both have a wide range of facilities including several shops and places to eat. Eateries are mainly Italian food including pizza and pasta with a couple of international fast food outlets. The shops are great with many designer labels having outlets at the airport as well as a well-stocked duty free.

Staying Near the Airport
The Sheraton is inside Terminal 1 and has a conference centre too. Prices range from R1100 a night but it’s a nice place to stay on business or if you’re wanting a break after a late flight.
