Milan is one of the largest cities in Italy and also one of the most important cultural and economic centers in Europe. Its history dates back to ancient times, when it was inhabited by Celts, and later became an important Roman city. Today, Milan is known primarily as the capital of Lombardy, one of the richest regions of Italy, and as an international center of fashion and design. The city is home to a number of famous monuments, such as the Cathedral of St. Martin, Sforza Castle, or the famous La Scala theater. Milan is also the center of Italian football, as two of the most famous clubs in the world are based here - AC Milan and Inter Milan.

The Journey

You can go to Milan from Munich and Vienna. In Villach (Austria), the carriages will be joined and continue on to Italy. Arrival in Milan is at 7:44 a.m. and you will get off at the Milano - Rogoredo station. Milano Rogoredo railway station is a modern transport hub located in the southeastern part of the Italian metropolis of Milan. It was opened in 1996 and has since become an important place for regional and international rail connections. Trains run here not only on the domestic network, but also to a number of European cities, such as Geneva, Zurich, Munich or Vienna. Milano Rogoredo is also connected to the city's public transport and can be easily reached by bus or metro. The station offers modern and comfortable facilities for passengers, including shops, restaurants and information centers.

What is the train journey like?

If you decide to travel to Milan by train, you will have three different travel options to choose from. The cheapest option is to travel in a seat, which is suitable for those who do not need extra comfort. The medium-priced option is to travel in a couchette car, which is divided into 4 and 6-seater compartments. These couchette cars are not equipped with a shower, but they provide a relatively sufficient amount of space for passengers. The most luxurious and expensive option is travel in a sleeping car, where you can choose between a 3-bed, double or single bed. These sleeping cars are equipped with a shower and also provide a great breakfast for passengers.

How much do tickets cost and where to buy them?

Tickets can be purchased not only at the ticket offices and the e-shop of the Austrian Railways (ÖBB), but also at the eShop of Czech Railways (ČD). Advance ticket sales start 180 days before the departure date, so there is plenty of time to plan your trip. BUT – prices are contingent, meaning that the number of tickets is determined for each price level. This means that the sooner you buy your ticket, the higher the chance of a lower price.
