Getting to Hotel Berna

From Milan's Linate Airport, take the Starfly coach to Central Station. Exit to Piazza Duca d’Aosta and cross it.

From there, 5 streets open to an aureole: the main one is Via Vittor Pisani. The first road to the left of it is Via Napo Torriani. Cross it and walk a few minutes to the hotel.

  1. One day trips from Milan without a car:

    You don't need a car to escape from the business, the traffic, the congestion, the fog in wintertime and the afa, the humid heat, in summer, of the city of Milan to a wonderful world of lakes, mountains, castles and good food: just take the train and, sometimes, the boat as recommended in the following itineraries.
