Travel information
Airport travel guide

Located about 53 km (32 miles) to the northwest, Malpensa is the largest of the three airports serving Milan. But while most visitors make their way straight for the great northern city, the airport also provides easy access to a number of less celebrated, but equally interesting attractions in the provinces of Lombardy and Piedmont. Here are five such trips for you to consider:
- Lago de Como. The namesake city of Lake Como, Como, lies about 40 minutes northwest of Malpensa Airport. Driving along the shoreline, you will discover ornate gardens and luxurious villas, ancient towns with quaint cobblestone streets, and jaw-dropping views. Como and Bellagio are well-known, but visits to off-the-beaten-path towns like Varenna, Tremezzo, and Menaggio will be just as stunning!
- Lago Maggiore. The large and alpine Lake Maggiore is one of the most popular travel attractions in Lombardy and Piedmont. Known for its scenic coastal towns, well-preserved architecture, and a number of islands that can be visited, the area is about an hour’s drive from the Malpensa Airport. Follow the shoreline long enough and you’ll end up in neighboring Switzerland and the picturesque town of Locarno (though ask your rental car provider in advance if they permit crossing the border).
- Val Grande National Park. The drive from Malpensa takes at least an hour, but visiting the Great Valley is worth the effort. Encompassing a portion of the High Alps, this protected area is known for some of the most amazing mountain views and vistas in Europe. Located in neighboring Piedmont, the national park has no permanent population, so many areas can only be visited in the company of a guide; plus, many of the trails are steep and dangerous, so significant trekking experience may be required. Ask about this at one of the park’s three visitor centers
- Aosta Valley. Another destination that takes up to two hours to reach, but is endlessly rewarding, the autonomous community of Aosta Valley is home to the Italian side of Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn, two of the highest peaks in Europe. Naturally, there is no shortage of skiing and hiking options, although the area is also known for its thermal baths. Another notable destination is Gran Paradiso National Park, which Aosta shares with neighboring Piedmont.
- Bergamo. Much more than just the location of one of the other two international airports serving the Greater Milan area, Bergamo is one of the most beautiful cities of Lombardy. Divided into the Upper Town where most of its landmarks are located and the relatively more modern Lower Town, Bergamo is equally known for its historical heritage and delicious cuisine. Located some 93 km (58 miles) from Malpensa Airport, Bergamo can be reached by car in just an hour and 10 minutes.
- Turin. Located to the southwest, unlike Milan which is to the southeast, Turin is just a 90-minute drive from the Malpensa Airport. More important than its proximity is the fact that the fourth-largest city in Italy is also one of the country’s classiest destinations, its boulevards, architecture, and culture are celebrated by many writers and artists, and nowadays also by thousands of visitors that come to the capital of Piedmont region every year.
