Transfer Options
Luggage Storage
There are no luggage lockers or staffed storage facilities inside Rogoredo station. See the app recommendations below for nearby third-party options.

Public Transit
Train and Metro
From Milano Rogoredo (MRO), the M3 (Yellow) Metro line takes you to the Duomo in about 15 minutes. This station is a major stop for high-speed trains arriving from the south (Rome/Florence).
Tickets for the M3 Metro can be purchased at the station entrance machines. For high-speed rail, use the dedicated Trenitalia/Italo machines. Contactless “Tap & Go” is available for all Metro journeys.
Bus
Shuttle buses (e.g., Terravision, Autostradale, Malpensa Shuttle) run between the airports and Milano Centrale. Tickets cost approximately €10.
Accessibility & Safety
Accessibility
Milano Rogoredo has lift access to all platforms. Assistance can be requested at the station manager’s office or via the Sala Blu network.
RFI Sala Blu – Accessibility AssistanceSafety
Milan is generally safe, but Milano Centrale and other major stations are known hotspots for pickpockets and distraction scams.
At train ticket machines, people may offer to help you navigate the screen or carry your bags up the stairs. Their goal is either a “tip” or a distraction to steal your wallet. Politely say “No, grazie” and keep a firm hand on your belongings. Station staff wear official uniforms and will never ask for money.
Essential Services
Lost & Found
For items left on a Trenitalia train, use the FindMyLost online service. For items lost on Trenord regional trains, report via the Trenord website; unclaimed property is transferred to the Comune di Milano (Via Friuli 30) after 6 days.

Official Taxi
Taxis are available at the rank immediately outside the station exit on Via Cassinis.
As you exit baggage claim or the train platform, individuals may approach you whispering “Taxi?” or “Transport?”. These are unlicensed drivers. Always ignore them and walk to the official outdoor taxi rank where a dispatcher or a line of white cars is waiting.
Rideshare
Uber exists in Milan but only as Uber Black or Van, meaning it is significantly more expensive than in North America. Freenow is the most reliable app as it calls official city taxis.
Request your ride to meet you at the station forecourt on Via Cassinis, directly outside the main exit.
Use Freenow for speed in heavy traffic (official taxis using bus lanes), Uber for consistent premium reliability at airports and major hubs, and Bolt for the most budget-friendly fares.
ATMs and Currency
When the ATM asks “Would you like to be charged in USD/CAD or EUR?”, always choose EUR (Local Currency) or “Decline Conversion”. Selecting your home currency allows the ATM to set its own poor exchange rate, costing you 5–10% more.
Departure
Arrival & Check-In
Arrive 20–30 minutes before departure. This compact, linear station has all platforms running parallel and accessed via an underground pedestrian tunnel. Check the digital displays in the main hall for your Binario (platform number).

VAT Refunds
VAT refunds are not available at train stations. If you are departing the EU by train and need a customs stamp, you must process your tax-free forms at an airport customs desk before leaving Italy.
