    Hi Aimee Vistan,

    Personally I would prefer taking the train. Itโ€™s much safer and convenient.

    You can find more information about travel and ticket options to Italy here: http://www.myswissalps.com/traintickets/italy/price

    Hi Aimee Vistan,

    Certainly. If you have the Swiss Half Fare Card, the travel from Lucerne to the border (Chiasso) is discounted.

    Hi Aimee,

    For tickets from Chiasso to Milan, you can find options to purchase online here: http://www.myswissalps.com/traintickets/italy

    Also, you can purchase a ticket from any SBB train station.

    If you have a valid ticket and travelling with a direct train to Milan, there is no need to switch trains in Chiasso.

    Regards,

    Anna
