The Gray
Getting there
- Planes Milan has three airports: Linate (30 minutes from Bulgari Hotel), Milan Bergamo (45 minutes) and Malpensa (50 minutes). There are no trains from Linate, but the 73 bus will drop you at Piazza San Babila, just a 10-minute walk from the hotel. There are trains every half hour (until 11.10pm) from Malpensa to Piazzale Cadorna (also five minutes away). From Linate, your only option is the Terravision express coach, which will take you to Milano Centrale station in 60 minutes (around 10 minutes from the hotel).
- Trains The hotel is a 10-minute taxi journey from Milano Centrale station, where you can get local and regional trains to the rest of Italy and elsewhere in Europe. Be warned, express trains cost more than the regional equivalents which make more stops; see Trenitalia (www.trenitalia.icom) for details.
- Automobiles The hotel's right next to the cathedral, so once in Milan, simply follow signs to the centre or ‘duomo’ to find it and then leave your car to be taken care of at The Gray (valet parking is available). You probably won’t need to drive within the city; plus, Milan is well-served by public transport, with both a metro and tram system. Although, you may well want a car to visit Bergamo, one of the most beautiful cities in Northern Italy and just under an hour’s car drive away.
