Getting here
Staying near Centrale Station is the most convenient choice if you arrive by train, fly out soon after or only have a few days: you are one stop from the centre and the whole city is connected by metro. But not every street around the station is the same: here is how to choose well.
From the suite to Milano Centrale: about a 10-minute walk
Metro: M1 Lima about 5 minutes away, M1/M2 Loreto close by
Tip: choose a quiet street a few minutes from the station, not right in front of the platforms
Milano Centrale is the hub for high-speed trains to Rome, Florence, Venice and Turin, the Malpensa Express and the buses to Bergamo airport. Staying a few minutes’ walk away means:
If your trip includes excursions, also read our guide to day trips from Milan.
The square in front of the station and the streets right behind it are busy and, in the evening, less pleasant. It is much better to move 5–10 minutes towards Corso Buenos Aires and Lima, or towards Porta Venezia: residential streets, bars and restaurants open late, and supermarkets and pharmacies on your doorstep.
This is also where our property is, at Via Saverio Mercadante 10: a quiet street about a 10-minute walk from Centrale and 2 minutes from Corso Buenos Aires.
| Destination | How | Approx. time |
|---|---|---|
| Duomo | M1 from Lima, no changes | about 10 minutes |
| Milano Centrale | on foot | about 10 minutes |
| Porta Garibaldi / Isola | M2 from Loreto | about 10 minutes |
| Navigli (Porta Genova) | M2 from Loreto, no changes | about 20 minutes |
| Fiera Milano Rho | M1 from Lima, no changes | about 35 minutes |
Tickets, contactless payment and metro hours are explained in our guide to getting around Milan.
The Malpensa Express and the buses to Malpensa and Bergamo airport (Orio al Serio) leave from Centrale. For Linate you use the blue M4: from the suite take the M1 to San Babila and change. Full details, with times and tickets, are in our guide to getting here from the airports.
Around the station you mostly find large business hotels. If you prefer more privacy and space, a suite with its own entrance is a good compromise:
At Via Saverio Mercadante 10 we have two suites for 2 guests: the Corso Buenos Aires Suite (28 m², shower) and the Mercadante Suite (25 m², bathroom with bidet). Both have a double bed, air conditioning, free Wi‑Fi and self check-in from 15:00; check-out is by 10:00.
