🇮🇹 Milano Centrale
Milan is the home to the most magnificent train station is the world.
The architectural design competition was won by a Florentine architect named Ulisse Stacchini (1871-1947). He only designed two buildings worth mentioning and these are two of the most amazing landmarks in Italy, Milano Centrale and San Siro, the iconic football stadium in the city.
The grandiose building was modeled on one of the most famous train stations in the United States, Washington Union Station in Washington, DC.
The final construction phase of the station, after Mussolini had his say in the ultimate design, was completed between 1925 and 1931.
The official opening of the station happened on July 1, 1931.
Centrale station is a major Milan attraction in its own right with vast steel trainsheds and awe-inspiring station building which Benito Mussolini intended to convey and show case to all the power of the fascist regime.
Milan Centrale is a terminus with 24 platforms.
Immediately inside the front of the station is this vast colonnade, originally a roadway for taxis to pick up and drop off, now pedestrianised.
You can either walk up one of the two grand flights of steps to the main concourse (galleria commerciale), or you can use the escalators visible in the centre instead, or you can take the modern illuminated passageway directly to the Trenitalia & Italo ticket offices, toilets & left luggage.
💺 Up the steps from the entrance hall is the main concourse or galleria commerciale, adjacent to (and level with) the platforms, one level up from ground level. This is the best place to find a cafe, bar or restaurant or just have a sit down.
📍 Red Arrow Train (Frecciarossa)
The Frecciarossa train travels through Italy and has a top speed of 300 km/h. It enters the center of the main city and shortens the distance. Choosing a Frecciarossa train means being able to rely on frequent connections, departures and arrivals in the city centre and geographical coverage of major cities, and you can choose the most convenient station to suit your needs.
