It's almost impossible to tire of a country as rich in culture and beautiful scenery as Italy. Visitors can go to Milan for fashion and the surrounding northern lakes, to the Eternal City of Rome for ancient ruins, and to Southern Italy for the charming "dolce vita" side of Italy. The islands of Sicily and Sardinia have their own unique charm with good wine, exquisite food, picture-perfect scenery and designer shopping.
It's a beloved destination for Australians and you'll rarely struggle to find flight deals to Italy. We frequently see flight deals to Milan Malpensa (MXP) in Northern Italy as well as to Rome Fiumicino (FCO) with stopovers in Asia or the Middle East. From Australia, you can find one-stop flights to Rome, Milan, Venice or Bologna.
You can get to Italy from Australia in less than 24 hours when flying into Rome and Milan. Here's what's considered to be a good deal compared to the average cost of a flight from Australia to Italy.
Milan Malpensa (MXP) is Italy’s main international flight hub and is a good 50 kilometres north of the city, so you should avoid taking a taxi. The Malpensa Express train is the easiest way to get into the city and leaves both terminals every 30 minutes, with a journey time of 30 minutes. You can then connect to other towns or cities from Milano Centrale train station. You can find car hire desks in Terminal 1. A free shuttle transports passengers between Terminals 1 and 2 round the clock, and there are also scheduled shuttles to Milan’s second airport, Linate (LIN). There are bus and coach services from the airport to the centre of Milan, Turin and Genoa, which do not require pre-booking.
Rome Fiumicino (FCO) is the Italian capital’s main international airport, located 25 kilometres southwest of the city. The Leonardo Express train leaves every 30 minutes and also takes 30 minutes to the central station, Roma Termini. Alternatively, you can take the metropolitan train from the airport which connects to the metro, but does not stop at Roma Termini. Metered taxis are available at the airport and charge fixed fares to the city centre and to Rome’s other airport, Ciampino (CIA). Alternatively there’s a Terravision shuttle bus to the central station or a cheaper public bus service outside the Arrivals terminal. Follow “Rent a Car” signs for major car rental desks in International and Domestic terminals.
