Question

i am in milan now and i want to go to vienna or munich.... which is the best... i wish i can get the train if it doesnt excced 4 hours...

Answer 1

No chance, trains to Munich (497kms/309miles) take at least 7 hours 21 minutes; to Vienna (854kms/530miles) 9 hours and 49 minutes. Still hard to cross the Alps. Flightime is between 1:15 and 1:25 from both distinations on direct flights. But watch out choosing cheap flights because some low price aircraft companies offer flights as from Milan that are actually departing from an airport at Bergamo, 75 kms / 47 miles away.

Answer 2

LaFeeFan: Excellent advice, as usual, but the airport in Bergamo is well connected to Milano Centrale station by bus. The travel time to Milan Malpensa and Bergamo from the station is actually the same - about an hour. The buses are frequent. Further it's a smaller airport and getting through the baggage retrieval process can be somewhat faster. It is a long way from the city, but that doesn't make it a bad choice when there's a big fare difference. There isn't any need to warn people away from flights into/out of Orio al Serio in Bergamo. I prefer flying out of Bergamo, Verona, or Bologna for short haul flights within Europe.
