Glorious glass archways continue to wow visitors at Stazione Milano Centrale, just like they have been doing since 1864. Stazione Milano Centrale is Italy's second largest and second busiest train station, in addition to being Milan's major railway hub with high-speed services linking the city to destinations across Italy and beyond.
Located in the north of Milan City Centre, the iconic Stazione Milano Centrale reflects the architectural style of the city. Just like Milan City Centre, parts of the station come from different periods, with each rebuilding maintaining a feature from the past. The glass archways aren't the originals from the 19th century, but they still hold that era's charm. The glass archways stand over a facade that's adorned with sculptures, as liberty and art deco-style artworks cover its walls. The most recent refurbishments to Stazione Milano Centrale have kept the original design,only further enhancing its accessibility.
Italy's second busiest train station serves around 320,000 passengers per day, serving high-speed international destinations including Barcelona, Munich, Paris, Vienna and Zurich. Domestic high-speed services head out towards Turin in the west, Venice and Verona in the east, and destinations like Rome and Naples in the south. There is also an express train to Milano-Malpensa Airport. Two metro lines meet at Stazione Milano Centrale, and there are various bus stops outside the station, along with a taxi rank.
While Stazione Milano Centrale is primarily a transport hub, it has always been an attraction in its own right. The building has a wonderful charm, especially when entering past the columns of its front entrance. The shopping centre inside the station includes various fashion stores,with the station serving as an important meeting point in the city.
