Lugano → Milan Bus Guide: How to Travel Cheaply and Comfortably
The bus from Lugano to Milan takes exactly 1 hour and costs $7. I’ve taken this route several times, and the combination of speed, price, and the chance to watch the Alpine foothills roll by makes it a favorite when I’m hopping between Switzerland and Italy on a budget. Getting From Lugano to Milan by Bus # When I arrive in Lugano, the first thing I do is head to the Lugano Bus Station (Stazione Autoguidi) on Via Nassa. It’s a short walk from the city centre and clearly sign‑posted with a large “Bus” icon. The station is open early, and the ticket machines accept both cash and cards, so you can buy your $7 ticket on the spot if you prefer not to book in advance.
