Milan Transportation Help
Posted: Thu July 3, 2008 03:38 AM UTC
Can anyone help me with the best way to get from the Central Rail Station to:

Palazzo Liocorno Ingresso 2
Via Paracelso 4
20041 Agrate Brianza (MI)
Italy


I've tried using the AM site and I'm just not smart enough I fear.

Thanks so very much

Hi,
Agrate Brianza (I think that the address is located in a business center called Centro Direzionale Colleoni) is about 20 km far from Milan Central Station and is not reached directly by metro or urban transportation, so using ATM site is not possible to calculate path.

On the same site there is a link with the trunk connections http://www.nordesttrasporti.it/ but it seems to be available only for italian version and frankly is not very easy to understand lines and stops.

In my opinion the best way to reach Agrate Brianza is to take a taxi. If you want to save money you could reach the terminus of Metro Line 2 - green COLOGNO NORD and take a taxi there (from here are about 10 km).

Ciao

Thanks...

Do people in that town not work in Milan??

Is there no bus service, or train service of any kind to the city?

I'm just curious in that if my son works in Agrate Brianza for the summer, that will mean he basically can't live in Milan.

Hi there! You can reach the Centro Direzionale Colleoni by public trasportation in this way. Use underground n. 2 (MM2 - green) up to COLOGNO NORD. At the subway station there's a free shuttle service which runs all day long at least every 30minutes (more often in rush hours, less in the middle of the day).
Mostly of people working in Agrate Brianza lives in Milan, easy and fast to reach from the city by own car but not that bad by public transportation. If your son would live here in summer it would be better live in town, as outside is pretty boring after work 'cause public transportation at night is quite bad.
Just ask if you need more helps. Rgds, Roberto
