High-speed trains like Trenitalia Frecciarossa and Italo connect Napoli Centrale to Milano Centrale, the two main stations of these two cities, with frequent daily departures that leave you plenty of time to organize your day.
Transportation experience
Booking my ticket through Omio made comparing schedules and prices simple. I chose an early afternoon train, which gave me plenty of time to enjoy Naples and its beauties (“pizza fritta” - fried pizza included!) for the last time before leaving. Compared to flying and driving, the train is often more convenient and absolutely less stressful.
Departure station
Napoli Centrale is a busy station but well organized, with shops and cafés to grab your food before departure (make sure you treat yourself to a last sfogliatella frolla or riccia before leaving!). Arriving 20-30 minutes early is usually enough to locate your platform and make last minute shopping.
Arrival station
Milano Centrale station is a major arrival hub, the biggest in Milan, with excellent connections to the rest of the city via metro, buses, and taxis. Here you will find everything you need, from the Trenitalia Freccia Lounge for a quick rest after your trip to shops, bars and services to start breathing in the lively atmosphere of Milan.
Schedule & frequency
Trains from Naples to Milan run frequently, with departures every 30-60 minutes. High-speed options keep travel time under 5 hours: in my opinion they are the best choice to optimize your journey’s time and travel for so many km in an easy way.
Onboard experience & services
The onboard experience on Trenitalia Frecciarossa (standard seat with reservation) is comfortable, with spacious seating, Wi-Fi, and power outlets. The changing scenery from southern landscapes to northern plains makes the journey feel dynamic and engaging. You certainly won't get bored every time you look out the window.
