Public transportation:
The best solution to visit Milan during your staying is to use public transportation (also from/to rail station and airports) because they are frequent and cheaper than taxi. A ticket (underground, bus and train in the Milan urban area) valid for 48 hours costs 5 euro (75 min=1 euro, 3 days=6 euro). To organize your use of public transportation you can visit:
