Started looking at the feasibility and cost of visiting EICMA later this year. I’ve never been to Milan but after my experiences in Florence, I’ll not be doing any driving. My experience of Italian public transport is much better so it’s train or bus from the airport and local train to the exhibition halls. Which airport ? Do I trade off more flights and transfers of about an hour flying in to Malpensa or one flight a day and less than 30 minutes transfer by bus flying in to Linate ? Given the ongoing issues with the EES, a less busy airport sounds like the less frustrating option. In Milan, I see the rail route to the exhibition is the M1 which gives an area around the central station and Porta Garibaldi to find accommodation. Does that sound a reasonable premise ? Andy
Oops. Been having issues with the forum server and Safari for a while. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it Thank you Viv for sorting it out. Andy x
Thank you. I had looked at Bergamo but currently, there are no weekday flights from Gatwick which is my preferred UK departure point. Didn’t know it was my GOAT’s home town, maybe another time Andy
They also have a cracking classic road race around the old high city. I missed it but on the day I left I saw them all coming down the main street. Amazing.
