How to reach Milan
The city of Milan is served by two airports, Milano Linate, very close to the city centre, and Milano Malpensa, located about 50 Km north-west of Milan, but well connected to the city with fast trains and buses.
Malpensa airport is recommended to reach the conference venue, as it takes only 30 minutes by direct train to get to the Bovisa Campus of Politecnico di Milano.
