Actual timings will depend on your flight arrival time and how long it takes to get baggage and clear customs and immigration ...

This information comes from Malpensa airport's website.

*******************************************************************

You can take a train from MILANO CENTRALE to Turin (TORINO in Italian). The journey takes around an hour - I used http://www.db.de for sample information, and you can use this site in English. Note that you will have to get to Milano Centrale from Milano Cadorna either by taxi or metro.

Hope this helps a bit!

at least you're looking at Malpensa unlike my idiot boss who has booked to Bergamo!!!! Serves him right.

I wouldn't bother messing about going into Milan, which is actually quite a distance in the wrong direction , there are direct coaches to Turin.
