34 European Airports That Turn Layovers Into a Mini-Vacation
29. Milan Malpensa (MXP) / Linate (LIN): A Dash of Italian Style

A Milan layover of 6-7 hours offers a chance to immerse yourself in Italy's fashion and design capital. From Malpensa, the Malpensa Express train reaches central Milan in about 40-50 minutes (Linate is closer, around 25 minutes by bus/taxi). Head directly to the Piazza del Duomo to marvel at the breathtaking Gothic cathedral. A quick stroll through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II offers a glimpse of high fashion, and if time allows, a peek at La Scala opera house from the outside. It’s a sophisticated snapshot of Milanese elegance and grandeur.
