Good to Know
This is the only direct train between Wien/Vienna and Milano, but it has had its terminating station in Milano switched from the main station Milano Centrale to Milano Porta Garibaldi.
Not an issue for those heading to most areas of the city centre as Porta Garidbaldi is on line 2 of the Milan Metro and there are direct trains from Gabribaldi station to Arona, Stresa and Como; but connections are now more awkward when heading on destinations only served by trains from Milano Centrale, such as Genova, Sanremo and Pisa.
