MXP to city center
I'll be flying into MXP and staying at the Park Hyatt Milan. So far I've seen private cars and taxis for 100-130 euro, and I've been told uber is 60 euro. I'm trying to look up train information but most of what I see is in Italian and google translate extensions aren't helping me out much
Can anyone help me get from MXP to the Park Hyatt for cheap?
TIA

The airport train is the Malpensa Express. It will be much faster than a car.

should I buy this online now or will the prices be the same if I buy it at the airport/train station?

I think you can buy it at the train station but the machines will want Euros or perhaps a chip and pin card. There is also a ten Euro bus to stazione centrale that gets you most of the way to the Park Hyatt; buses leave every 15 minutes or so and you can just hop on the next one (cash only, I think).
Plus, for the record, I think the taxi is a fixed fare of 85 Euros to anywhere in Milan, a bit less than you noted above.

… and has more frequent train services to MXP – (2 per hour) … and is a much, much smaller station, so much easier to find your way around.

MXP to city center
Thank you everyone! I did end up buying 2 rt to centrale for 32 euro, this was before I saw the comments about the other station. I looked it up and the walk isn't terribly bad since we're doing carry on only. You guys have been very nice and informative
