Train station is kind of OK but definitely very confusing for a tourist. We hop on different…read moretrains few times....They have few shops- Laderach chocolates, pharmacy and everybody spoke in English which was very nice. I highly recommend to buy tickets not at the machine because many were broken and glitch, but instead wait in the line inside at SBB office. they help us to purchase first class train ride to Zurich! but on the way back to Milan I purchase wrong tickets and we had to leave the train after they checked our tickets. Again so many different train companies that I got confused. Also platforms may change so watch out. Also we had ticino card provided by our hotel and we had all public transport for free. Was so convenient, we could even use funicular for free instead of taking steps.

This station is located up the hill from the lake. We took the scenic train back to Italy after the…read more'Maggiore Express' boat ride. The scenic train is located across the tracks and down a flight of stairs. We purchased our tickets as part of the boat expedition but you can take the scenic train w/o the boat ride and purchase your tickets at the counter also located in the underground station. This is not the ticket window in the main station. Walk around the end of the tracks and there is a covered stair case going down. This is where you purchase your ticket for the scenic train. It makes many stops at very remote areas and take in beautiful scenery. If you are not taking the scenic train, there are ticket windows and ticket machines in the main terminal as well as waiting area and a coffee shop is nearby.

Milano Cadorna is in a good spot within the city, being close to Castello Sforzesco. It has 10…read moreplatforms and serves the Malpensa Express, for those heading to Malpensa Airport. There are a couple of shops inside to get essentials or a snack/drink before getting on your train, and a Carrefour Express across the way for basic grocery essentials. The station is easy to follow, with the huge red posts being an iconic and instantly recognisable symbol of the station. Not too big, or exciting, but certainly does the job, even though it certainly can't compete with Milano Centrale. 3*

Efficient and clean. That's what a train station in Europe should be. Well done.read more

This is the stop you want to reach the ferry to Bellagio which is just across the lake. Inside the…read morestation is a small bar that seems to be where some locals hang out and has all the beverages you could want (coffee, beer, cocktail, cola) and a few snacks. [Just fyi, to reach the ferry, walk down the hill, take the steps to the right, walk toward the lake and turn left. You can't miss the ticket office. To visit Varenna (which is lovely) continue past the boat ramp, follow the waterside walkway and take a Contrada up to the main square or stay on the waterside to enjoy the shops and cafes there.] The train station is older and has 2 tracks. We take the regional train from Milan which returns on track#2. If you get to the station early there is a small indoor waiting area off the main platform with seats and arrivals board, or sit outside on the few benches available there. You could also enjoy a beverage in the bar but we aware: the bathroom, located in a separate building, is not a place for a lady. Bring your own TP and sanitary hand wipes and be prepared to hover. Honestly, the train bathroom is a better choice.

This is where we arrived from and departed to Milan (and on Italian time). You can also go North and towards St. Moritz (yes Switzerland is close by). Tickets are best bought ahead of time and if you're short on these after arriving in Varenna, you can buy them at a Travel Agency (next to Albergo Beretta) a block away or Barilott further into town. As for in Town transportation, we walked here. It was a bit of a hike including some shared streets and a bit of an uphill at the end. For those not so athletically inclined, there's a taxi stand at the house next to the Station.
