Milano Centrale Station

Milano Centrale is one of the most important railway stations in Europe. The old station, built in 1864, ceased to cope with its duties, due to the opening of the Sempion tunnel, which led to an increase in passenger traffic. In 1931, a new, modernized station was inaugurated, striking guests and residents of the city with its architectural solution. Responsible for the construction of the building Milano Centrale was the famous engineer Julis Stacini, who took as a model Washington "Union Station". Construction proceeded rather slowly due to the economic crisis after the First World War.

The main highlight of the station is a steel dome designed by Albert Fava. Its length is 341 meters, and the area is 66,500 square meters. The facade of Milano Centrale has a length of 200 meters and a height of 72 meters. The station has 24 platforms, and its passenger traffic is about 330,000 people per day. The MM2 and MM3 metro lines are connected to the central station. The bus stop is located on the west side of the Milano Centrale building, and you can order a taxi directly opposite the station.
