We recommend using the train as it is the most popular way to get from Cannes to Milan among Omio's users.
Items not allowed on trains typically include hazardous materials such as explosives, flammable liquids, corrosive substances, and illegal drugs. Additionally, large or bulky items that may obstruct aisles or emergency exits, as well as pets without proper carriers, may be restricted. Specific prohibited items can vary by train operator and region, so please check the rules for your particular journey.
Italy uses the euro (EUR) as its currency. Travelers generally find it convenient to use cards for most payments, especially in cities and larger establishments, but carrying some cash is advisable for small shops, markets, and rural areas where card acceptance may be limited.
In Milan, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like public transportation, popular tourist sites, and busy shopping streets such as Corso Buenos Aires. Common scams include distraction techniques used by groups to steal wallets or phones, and fake charity collectors near landmarks. It's advisable to avoid unlicensed taxi services and to confirm fares beforehand. Staying alert and securing valuables can help ensure a safe visit.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
