Trains from Rome to Milan
From the capital to the country's commercial centre: Rome to Milan runs up the spine of Italy, through Florence and Bologna and over the Apennines to the Po plain. Business travellers fill it on weekdays; others take it for Milan's design and fashion districts, the opera, the Duomo and the lakes beyond, or to connect on to Switzerland. You leave from Roma Termini and arrive at Milano Centrale, and the Milan to Rome return is covered on this page too.

About the Rome to Milan train
Roma Termini is the departure station, on the eastern edge of the historic centre with underground, bus and taxi links, and a short ride from the hotels in the centre. Fix your date, passengers and whether you want the return in the same booking, then search for live times and fares. The route is the backbone of Italian rail: north through Tuscany, past Florence, through the Apennine tunnels to Bologna, then across the flat, intensively farmed Po valley to Milan. Outside the window the scenery shifts from Tuscan hills to the plain's straight roads and lines of poplars. Milano Centrale is a monumental station north-east of the centre, with underground lines beneath it. The Duomo, the Galleria and La Scala sit in the middle; Brera to the north has galleries and restaurants, the Navigli canals to the south-west have the evening bars, and the business towers cluster at Porta Nuova near the station. Malpensa, the intercontinental airport, is some way out of town, and the hotels on this page show their distance from MXP. An Italy eSIM can be added for the stay.
