I will be arriving at MXP from Addis Ababa at 0550 on a monday - We really want to go on a tour of the Lakes and Cinque Terre but the only one that anywhere fits departs that same morning at 0830 from the Starhotels Ritz, Via Lazzaro Spallanzani 40, Milano .
The tour company cannot pick up at MXP but suggested that they organise a car to get us to the hotel .
The airline is Ethiopian and we will be in business if that helps.
I understand the potential issues associated with international travel but , bearing that in mind , is this option possible ?
many thanks
Given the time of day (park hour traffic into Milan), I'd opt for the train - takes one hour to 1:15 from MXP to Porta Venezia metro station near the hotel, change at either Bovisa or Cadorna, depending on your connection.
But - Lakes and Cinque Terre? in one day? They're not exactly in the same direction from MIlan. Also, is this a stopover, and if so, where do you plan to store your luggage?
