Combine the tranquil beauty of Lake Como with the buzz of Milan using fast and convenient Regionale local trains, which take under an hour. With several departure and arrival stations to choose from, you can easily find an option to suit you. Learn how to organize your trip and what to expect on the journey with this guide to Como to Milan by train.

Medieval Sforzesco Castle in Milan
Como to Milan is a short journey of only 28 miles (46 kilometers). But driving can be stressful due to limited parking and congestion on the roads, particularly at weekends and at peak times, so the best way to get from Como to Milan is by train.
Journey times of 40 to 60 minutes make it a quick and simple way to reach Italy's fashion capital, whether you've been staying at the lake or are visiting on a day trip.
Booking my train ticket from Como to Milan was easy with Omio. I just loaded up the Omio app and browsed schedules and routes to choose the most suitable departure. After I'd picked the best train, I paid online and downloaded my ticket, with no need to print anything out.
There is a choice of departure points for trains from Como to Milan, so you can choose the most convenient. I left from Como Lago, a small station right by the waterside. It's close to the ferry terminal if you're coming from other towns around Lake Como, like Bellagio or Varenna.
The main station, Como San Giovanni, is a 15-minute uphill walk or short bus ride from the lake. Trains also leave from Como Borghi station, though it’s further from the waterfront, so it’s less practical unless you’re staying in that area.
There are also several arrival stations to choose from in Milan. I arrived at Milano Centrale, the city’s main train station, which has useful transport connections across the city by metro, buses and trams.
Alternatively, you can arrive at Milano Cadorna or Bovisa Politecnico. These stations can be more useful if you're based in or visiting central or northern Milan.
Trains from Como to Milan run from around 5.30 am to 11.20 pm, making it easy to visit on a day trip. There are around 10 trains per hour, with a mix of departure and arrival stations, so you can pick and mix to create a route to suit your plans.
Regionale trains normally only have one class of travel, and you can't reserve seats in advance. These local services have fairly simple facilities, with no buffet car, but they offer comfortable seating, air conditioning, and toilets at the end of each carriage.
I paid €6 for a lunchtime departure from Como Lago to Milano Centrale, booked through the Omio app roughly two weeks in advance. The journey was smooth and quick. But be aware that services can get crowded during peak commuting hours, so opting for a mid-morning or early afternoon train can make for a more pleasant trip.

With regular departures and affordable fares, taking the train from Como to Milan with Omio is a simple and efficient way to travel from the lake to the city. From Milan’s stations, you can easily continue your journey using the city’s extensive public transport network or onward train connections.
