We are flying into Milan's Malpensa Airport in April 2015 and plan on taking a train from there to Florence and then will be returning to Malpensa airport for the return trip home. (In between we will be spending 7 days in Florence and then renting car from Florence and through Tuscany for 10 more days before returning to Florence for our return trip.)
I need help with three questions:
First, Is their any advice for the trains? I understand we have to go from the airport to central Milan in order to get to train to Florence. Is this straight forward?
Second, we have read some of the horror stories about trying to get out of downtown Florence in an automobile, would it be easier to go to the airport and rent auto from there? It appears that A1 and A11 are near the airport and we could get on one of these to head south into Tuscany. Any advice is appreciated.
Third. On our return trip to Milan, we would like to stop at the Milan Cathedral before going to the Airport. Is there a place to store luggage for a couple of hours at the train station, and also how far is the cathedral from the train station?
Thank-you.
