Select both station names when booking; Como Lago and other terminals follow different corridors. The timetable varies by date. You can buy through Trenord's website or app, at an automatic or physical ticket machine, or from an authorised retailer.

The pattern varies by date, so pick a departure for your travel day. Direct trains do not require a change, which makes this a straightforward city trip. ## Use the correct stations Board at Como San Giovanni and get off at Milano Centrale. Keep the full station names in your booking, because Como and [Milan]() each have other stations and a result for another terminal can lead you onto a different itinerary. At Milano Centrale, allow time after arrival if you are continuing by train, metro or on foot to your accommodation. ## Tickets and travel conditions Trenord sells tickets online, in its app, at automatic or physical ticket machines, and through authorised retailers. A single ticket and an STIBM integrated ticket serve different conditions within the integrated tariff area, so choose the product shown for this station pair. If you bring a bicycle or pet, check whether the relevant supplement applies and keep the ticket or receipt with you. EuroCity trains between Switzerland and Milano Centrale are a different train type, with their own tickets and compulsory seat reservations. A Trenord regional ticket is not the right ticket for them. ## Plan the departure Search Como San Giovanni to Milano Centrale for your travel date and use the departure shown for that day. If you have an onward connection or are travelling around planned works, build in some margin. At Como San Giovanni, follow the station display to the Milano Centrale service and allow time to find the platform. Read the full itinerary before boarding if your ticket names another station in either city. ## Where to book ### Train tickets - Omio Omio connects you with over 1,000 transport providers - trains, buses, flights, and more - to simplify your travel planning.
