Location
KVM Forum 2025 will be held at Politecnico di Milano, Italy.
Getting around Milan
Milan’s public transport system consists of five subway lines and many tramway and bus lines.
The venue is a 5 minutes walk from the Piola stop of the “green” M2 subway line. Downtown Milan can be reached by subway in about 10 minutes.
The easiest way to use public transport in Milan is to tap a credit card against the readers every time you board a vehicle or pass the subway barriers, as well as when you leave the subway. In particular, when leaving the subway, note that not all barriers have a credit card reader and the barriers may be open during peak hours, but you still have to tap. The system combines multiple trips taken during a single day in order to calculate the cheapest fare. For more information, see the ATM contactless paying web page.
Subway service ends around 12:30 AM.
Getting to Milan
Milan has three airports and is also reachable by high-speed and international trains. All three airports are well connected to the Central train station area (Milano Centrale). They are:
-
Malpensa (MXP) is the largest, and hosts almost all the direct flights from America and Asia to Milan. To reach Milan from Malpensa, we suggest taking the Malpensa Express trains to Centrale; there are stations inside each terminal.
-
Linate (LIN) is a city airport with a fast connection to downtown via the “blue” M4 subway line. Due to ongoing work on the subway tracks over the summer, do not use the Sant’Ambrogio stop to change lines. Instead, you can exit the subway at San Babila and take the “yellow” M3 line from the nearby Duomo stop.
-
Bergamo (BGY) hosts low-cost airlines and is connected to the city center by buses. You can buy a ticket to Milano Centrale directly at the bus platform.
