Lugano, Switzerland

If you are in Milan, the best thing you can do is to to travel to city LUGANO, its in north of Italy and less than 100 Km from Milan.

The easiest way is to take a direct train from MILAN CENTRAL STATION (centrale) to Lugoano , which takes nearly hour

Milan railway station (centrale)

Train at Milan

and 10 min and cost 23 Euro one way. The train is fast and run German and Italian company. There are many options of train but better take the train which is going to Zurich and Lugano is a stop in between,

View from the train

Its a  small city surrounded by white top mountains and three sides covered with the Lugano lake, the lake is huge enough to give a view of a sea. The nature, cleanliness and street view is just marvelous and can't be expressed in words.

Walking towards the Lake

From the train station, take the exit from the right (the main building) and go down the street till towards the lake, it takes nearly 10 min to reach to the lake by walking. The streets have old style shops and beautifully decorated cafes. There is McDonald just in front of the lake view.

Walk as much as you can on the pedestrian walk lanes near the lake and every view is spectacular. Don't forget to walk inside the town center and small streets connecting the center hall, there are multiple street vendors and shops which offers some unique things like food and souvenirs. When you get tired then walk to the shopping mall named MANOR LUGANO, it has 5 floors and sells almost everything from electronics, cosmetics to clothing, There is also a supermarket in the -1 floor and you can find many cheap swiss/Italian chocolates and snacks.

There are many things to see in the city and main attraction can be seen within 4 hours but time spent  sitting next to lake and enjoying the lake view is just uncountable.

Copenhagen Airport to Center

Copenhagen airport is more or less like a shopping mall and you will find a lot of restaurant, cafes and too many people. Anyhow the airport is easy to find ways and boards and directions are easy to follow.

The airport has 3 terminals and you can just walk from terminal 2 to terminal 3 and from terminal 1 there is a free shuttle service, it takes hardly 5 min.

The transport service is all located in terminal 3 connected with train and bus routes.
The red color ticket machine are located inside and and outside terminal and are often crowded, there are multiple windows for buying the ticket or getting info form the counters located in terminal 3.


Depending on your accommodation you can either go to the CENTRAL STATION  or to the Nørreport Station (city center). The easiest ways are to take Train or the bus number 5A. The train ticket must be bought earlier form machine or the counters and is valid for nearly 90 minutes and no need to validate or punch,
THE TICKET MACHINE ACCEPTS CARD OR COINS ONLY

The train station is just down by the escalator next to the selling counter of ticket. Train takes hardly 15 minutes and with 2 stops in between. the service is clean and fast.Runs every 10 minutes.The ticket cost 32DKK

If you want to take bus 5A, it goes to both Central station and city center and runs every 15 minutes in days time. The ticket can be bought from the driver and cost 32DKK. It takes nearly 30 minute to reach the central station with nearly 25 stops in between. The bus has almost no space for big luggage so if you are carrying heavy bag then take the train.
more information of time can be found here http://www.dsb.dk/om-dsb/in-english/?gclid=CLjr4N7l7MoCFVYo0wodI2ECfg

On the return I took the bus 5A, the bus has a small symbol on top of bus with red LEDs. all other bus 5A will not go to airport, just ask the driver if you are in confusion. The station for going to airport from central is shown in the map below.

 Enjoy Copenhagen,its easy city to walk around and one of the most expensive in Europe :)
