Parken im Zentrum von Mailand

Kostengünstiges Parken im Zentrum von Mailand ist nicht so einfach. Das Zentrum ist im Umkreis von schätzungsweise 5 km gebührenpflichtig oder nur für Anwohner mit Ausweis.
Es gibt keine Parkautomaten. Parktickets muß man stattdessen z.B. im Tabakladen kaufen.
Die Parkzeit und das Parkdatum wird auf dem Ticket freigerubbelt, es ist aber nur maximal für 2 Stunden gültig. In Parkhäusern kann man länger stehen bleiben. Diese sind aber eher klein, schwer zu finden und sehr teuer, ab ca. 4 Euro pro Stunde.

Introduction to Italy from the World Factbook

Italy became a nation-state belatedly - in 1861 when the city-states of the peninsula, along with Sardinia and Sicily, were united under King Victor EMMANUEL. An era of parliamentary government came to a close in the early 1920s when Benito MUSSOLINI established a Fascist dictatorship. His disastrous alliance with Nazi Germany led to Italy's defeat in World War II. A democratic republic replaced the monarchy in 1946 and economic revival followed. Italy was a charter member of NATO and the European Economic Community (EEC). It has been at the forefront of European economic and political unification, joining the European Monetary Union in 1999. Persistent problems include illegal immigration, the ravages of organized crime, corruption, high unemployment, and the low incomes and technical standards of southern Italy compared with the more prosperous north.

Upon arrival

If you travel by plane and your arrival airport is Rome-Ciampino (CIA) the easiest and cheepest way to the center (railway station Termini) is:

After leaving the airport building turn right and you will already see the busstop for the airportbus (marked with an A, bus enterprise is called Cotral). It takes you directly to the next metrostation 'Agnanina'. Duration of the drive approx. 10 minutes, without intermediate stops. Costs 1 EUR, leaving every 20-40 minutes.
From this very uncharming main bus terminal you take the metro right to the main rail station 'Termini'. It takes you another 30 minutes. One can buy metro tickets at the ticket machines (1 EUR, valid für 75 min) or at the Sali i tabacci-stores.

The Terravision (subcompany easyJet)also offers at a ticket-stand directly in the airport building an every-30-minutes bustransfer via Termini. Departure in front of the airport builing. Shuttle time also approx. 40 minutes - but quite expensive: 27 EUR round ticket.
