How do you get to Northern Italy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t want to travel to Italy by car, there are two options: by train or by plane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking the train to Italy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For example, from Utrecht (The Netherlands) the journey takes about 12 to 14 hours and you have to change trains several times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your departure station, you travel to Milan via Germany or France (with a transfer in Paris). Check<\/strong> Rail Europe<\/a><\/strong> for your travel schedule and to order international train tickets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By airplane<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do you think the train journey is too long? Then you can always take a plane to Milan. From all over Europe, there are daily flights to Milan. Milan has several airports and a return ticket is usually not that expensive. Check Skyscanner<\/a><\/strong> <\/a>to compare prices and book the cheapest plane ticket to Milan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
