Book a transfer from Zurich to Milan — a spectacular Alpine crossing from Switzerland's cosmopolitan lakeside capital to Italy's fashion, design, and culinary metropolis, through some of Europe's most dramatic mountain scenery.
The 280 km journey takes 3.5 to 4 hours heading south via the Gotthard Pass route, passing Lake Lucerne, through the Gotthard Tunnel (the world's longest rail tunnel runs parallel), and descending into the Italian-speaking Ticino region and the Po Valley to Milan. The transition from Germanic Switzerland to Mediterranean Italy is striking.
Milan is Italy's most cosmopolitan city — the undisputed capital of fashion, design, and contemporary art. The Gothic Duomo cathedral (Italy's largest church) with its rooftop terraces, Leonardo's The Last Supper, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and La Scala opera house anchor the historic center. The Brera art district, the Navigli canal nightlife quarter, and the trendy Isola neighborhood showcase Milan's creative energy. Fashion Week, the Salone del Mobile design fair, and a booming Michelin-starred dining scene make Milan Italy's most forward-looking city.
