While Malpensa Airport is your final stop, Milan’s world-class attractions are within reach if you have a layover or plan a pre-flight city visit. Here’s what you can’t miss.
- The Duomo di Milano: Milan’s iconic Gothic cathedral. You can’t miss visiting the rooftop terraces for breathtaking views of the city spires and the Piazza del Duomo below. It’s a short train ride from Cadorna Station, accessible via the Malpensa Express.
- Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II: Right next to the Duomo, this stunning 19th-century glass-vaulted arcade is Italy’s oldest active shopping mall. Window-shop at luxury boutiques, enjoy a coffee at a historic cafe, and don’t forget to spin your heel on the mosaic bull for good luck!
- Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper”: Housed in the refectory of the Santa Maria delle Grazie convent, this Renaissance masterpiece is a must-see. Important: You must book tickets online months in advance, as entry is strictly timed and limited.
- Sforza Castle (Castello Sforzesco): A massive fortress in the city center that now hosts several museums and art collections, including Michelangelo’s final sculpture, the Rondanini Pietà. The surrounding Sempione Park is perfect for a stroll.

Pro Travel Tips for Your Fumane to Malpensa Journey
A smooth trip is all about smart planning. Here’s how to master this route.
- Best Time to Book & Travel: For the best rates and availability, book your transfer at least 48-72 hours in advance. Traffic on the A4 motorway can be heavy, especially on Sunday afternoons and weekday rush hours (7-9 AM, 5-7 PM). Allow extra travel time during these periods.
- Local Customs & Things to Know: In Italy, a small tip for your driver (€5-€10) is a kind gesture for good service but is not mandatory. When visiting wineries in Fumane, appointments are almost always required—never just show up. A polite “buongiorno” (good day) and “grazie” (thank you) go a long way.
- Navigating Malpensa Airport (MXP): Malpensa has two terminals: T1 (main, for most international flights) and T2 (mainly for low-cost carriers). A free, frequent shuttle bus connects them. Confirm your terminal with your airline beforehand to ensure your drop-off is correct.
- Special Offers: Always check the Sinai Taxi website or blog for promo codes (like the “BLOG5” offer seen on their Egypt guide) that can provide discounts on your transfer. Booking a round-trip journey can sometimes secure a better overall rate.
