Once you arrive in Milan, Italy, there are a few different ways to make your way to Luino, Maccagno, Colmegna, or anywhere else around Lake Maggiore for the wedding weekend.

Private Transfer / Taxi

The easiest and most comfortable option is arranging a private transfer directly from the airport to your accommodation. This is especially convenient if you are traveling with luggage, a group, or arriving after a long flight. We recommend booking in advance.

Rental Car

Renting a car is a great option if you plan to explore Lake Maggiore or the surrounding areas during your stay. The drive from Milan to the northern Lake Maggiore towns (including Luino, Maccagno, and Colmegna) is approximately 1–1.5 hours depending on traffic. Parking is available at Villa Porta.

Train

The train is a great option and a beautiful way to experience the area.

From Milan Malpensa Airport:

Take the train toward Luino with the appropriate connections

From Luino, you can continue to nearby towns such as Colmegna or Maccagno by train, taxi, or local transportation

If you are staying elsewhere around Lake Maggiore, you can use the regional train system to connect to nearby towns, or combine the train with a taxi for the final part of your journey.

Taxi

Taxis are available at Milan airports and can take you directly to your destination. For smaller towns around Lake Maggiore, we recommend arranging transportation ahead of time whenever possible.

Staying Somewhere Else Around Lake Maggiore?

No problem! Lake Maggiore has many beautiful towns and villages to explore. Depending on where you are staying, you may also have access to:

Passenger ferries that connect many towns along the lake

Water taxis for a more private and scenic option

Local trains and buses to help you get around

We recommend using your accommodation address when booking transportation so drivers and services know your exact destination.
