Look out for iconic landmarks such as the Castello Sforzesco, which heralds your approach to the city.

For a smooth journey, plan your departure outside the rush hours of 7:30-9:30 AM and 5:00-7:00 PM, when traffic can halt progress. At the airport, your driver will meet you in the arrivals area, usually holding a sign with your name.
