How to reach Pavia Pavia is about 40 kilometers South of Milan in the North of Italy. It can be reached:
BY AIR The closest airports are in Milan;
Milano Linate (LIN), smaller but easier to reach,
or Milano Malpensa (MXP).
Also Orio al Serio (BGY) is usually included in the Milan
area airports (MIL) but we don't suggest to use it because difficult to reach.
A taxi from any airport to Pavia will cost you a lot (100-170 Euro): ask the driver before you take it. From Linate it could be convenient to take a shutte to Milano Centrale railway station and then continue by train to Pavia. It leaves just in front of the domestic arrival terminal every 20 minutes, the trip takes about half an hour. From Malpensa several shuttles go to Milan. The trip takes about one hour (during rush hours it could take longer). There is also a shuttle connecting Pavia to the Linate airport directly. It is not very frequent, but if your flight fits the schedule it is a great solution. For information see the Migliavacca home page (in italian) or directly the bus timetable (last update 01/01/2010)
BY TRAIN Most
trains between Milano and Genova stop in Pavia. Informations
