What are the departure and arrival stations for buses from Milan to Rome?
Departure Bus Station: Buses from Milan to Rome will leave from the city's Autostazione Lampugnano. Lampugnano can be found in north-west Milan, around 2 miles from the city center, so leave some time for transfers when catching coaches. Getting to the bus station should be relatively easy. The best option is to take the Metro to Lampugnano (which is on Line 1). Anticipate a journey time of 15-20 minutes from most central locations. Those coming from Malpensa Airport can take the XP1 train to Cadorna, the Metro Line 1 to Lampugnano, and the transfer should take around 40 minutes.
Arrival Bus Station: When taking a Milan to Rome bus, services should arrive at Rome's Tiburtina Bus Station - the Italian capital's primary coach transportation hub. Getting into town after that won't be tough, as Tiburtina has excellent onward connections. One option is to head to Tiburtina Station and catch trains to Termini. However, it's probably more sensible to head to Bologna Metro station, and use the subway to reach central locations. Trains from Bologna run directly to the historic center, and travelers can easily change to catch services to the Vatican if required. Expect transfer times of 15-20 minutes.
