The Journey: Oslo (OSL) to Milan (MIL)
Connecting Norway to Northern Italy is a comfortable and scenic journey.
- Departure from Gardermoen: Your trip begins at Oslo Airport (OSL). As Norway’s primary international hub, OSL is efficient and modern. We recommend taking the Flytoget airport express to ensure a stress-free arrival at the terminal, giving you time to enjoy a coffee before boarding.
- Flight Duration: A direct flight typically takes approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes. It is a perfect medium-haul distance—long enough to relax, but short enough to arrive feeling fresh.
- Arrival in Malpensa: You will land at Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), the largest international airport in the Milan metropolitan area. It is a major global hub located about 49 kilometers northwest of the city center, ideally positioned for both the city and the surrounding lake and mountain regions.
Destination: Milan – More Than Just Fashion
Milan (Milano) is a city of layers, offering a sophisticated blend of history, business, and leisure.
- The Capital of Design and Fashion
For many, Milan is synonymous with style. A walk through the Quadrilatero della Moda (Fashion Quadrangle) reveals the world’s most prestigious boutiques. Even if you aren't shopping, the window displays are art installations in themselves. The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, one of the world's oldest shopping malls, offers architectural grandeur alongside luxury. - A Cultural Heavyweight
Beyond the runway, Milan offers profound cultural experiences. The Duomo di Milano is a gothic masterpiece that dominates the city center—be sure to visit the rooftop for views of the Alps on a clear day. For art lovers, securing tickets to see Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper is a must. - Gateway to the Alps and Lakes
For our Norwegian clients, Malpensa is often the starting point for a wider adventure. It is the most convenient airport for reaching the stunning Lake Como or Lake Maggiore. In winter, it serves as the gateway to world-class ski resorts in the Aosta Valley and the Italian Alps, such as Cervinia and Courmayeur, offering a sunnier alternative to the Norwegian mountains. - Business Hub
Milan is the financial heart of Italy. For corporate travelers, we help secure flights that align with business hours, ensuring you can land and reach the Porta Nuova business district in time for your meetings.
Travel Tips for Norwegians
- Transport from Malpensa: The Malpensa Express train is the most efficient way to reach the city. It connects Terminal 1 and 2 directly to Milano Centrale and Cadorna stations in roughly 50 minutes, bypassing the often-heavy motorway traffic.
- Aperitivo Culture: Do as the locals do and enjoy "aperitivo" between 18:00 and 21:00. Ordering a drink often comes with access to a buffet of snacks—it is a social ritual not to be missed.
- Coffee Etiquette: In Italy, a "caffè" is an espresso. Cappuccinos are strictly for breakfast (before 11:00). Ordering a latte might just get you a glass of milk.
- Booking Seasonality: Prices in Milan fluctuate wildly during Fashion Weeks (typically February/September) and the Salone del Mobile (Design Week in April). If you are not attending these events, check dates to avoid peak hotel rates.
