From the airport with public transports

Once you are off the plane and you are trying to reach Pavia you may decide to take a bus or a train.

All the information about transport connection is on the airport website ( Milano Malpensa Airport; Milano Linate Airport; Milano Orio al Serio Airport ).

Buy your ticket: For public transport usually, you may find tickets at the newsagents. From the airports there are private companies connecting the airport to the town and they usually sell tickets onboard.

Validate your ticket: when you are using a bus, tram or train in Italy, you have to validate your ticket: basically a little box machine will stamp the day and time on your ticket. If you take a bus or a tram, you usually can buy and validate your ticket on board; if you take a train look for a yellow little box on the platform or train station and validate your ticket. If you forget to do that just walk along the train until you find the conductor and let them know you have forgotten and you won’t get into trouble.

From Milan train stations.

As you probably already find out Milan has many train stations.

The Viaggia Treno website (http://www.viaggiatreno.it/viaggiatrenonew/index.jsp) is translated in many languages and you can use the station search to find out which trains are living from each station and all the stops they are going to do. This is useful when you take trains whose final stop is not Pavia.

You can buy tickets on the train company website (Trenitalia): if you buy the ticket through this website you do not have to validate it. Read the website to find out more.

There are three kinds of train you can use to get to Pavia: http://www.trenitalia.com/tcom-en

• S13: part of the Milan subway service, it takes about 30 minutes to get to Pavia from Milano Rogoredo; Pavia is the final stop
• Regional or Cross Regions Trains (they usually have an R before their identification number): they take 15 minuter to get from Milan to Pavia, but Pavia is not their final stop. Remember to get off.
• Long Distance train: Italy has a very innovative and rich system of long-distance trains. The ones that stop in Milan and Pavia are called Intercity. Please note that the ticket costs more if you decide to take this train (double the price of S13 and Regionals) but you will be assigned a seat and they usually have priority on other trains.
