Trams were super easy to use, just tapped in with our bank cards when we got on a tram. Was €2.20 for 90 mins of travel. You need to tap in every time you get on a tram and if you go over the 90 mins it will update the charge to the daily rate of €7.60. We were told you can also buy tickets from the metro or tobacconists and then use this to tap in (on a different machine at the back of the tram). You need to tap in with these as the timer starts on them (you can buy different levels of coverage) from the first time you tap in. So as long as you always remember to tap in with either your bank card or the ticket you bought every time you get on then there is no issue. The trams stop near every major site so makes seeing everything in a weekend much easier.

We took one in the Bavigly and boxed in the est Central we did a rather long tour, it is a cute the classic tram, runs the air and travels very fresh, serves the transport voucher of the city of Milano. There are different lines. Highly recommended, not everything is expensive in Milano

Hi, do the trams in Milan operate 24 hours or do they have a last tram? We are staying near Milan Central train station and want to spend our first night at some bars in the centre unless anyone can suggest any good bars around the station?

Hello
There is no longer a specific touristic tram now. It's just a normal team system. You can use an ATM ticket you can buy from any metro station for 2€ per ticket or 18€ for 10 (or you can download the ATM app on your phone and buy digital tickets). You also have day cards. Like the Paris metro they last for 90 minutes & need to be stamped through ticket machines.
We were not near a convenient tram station but the M1 metro line stops at the best tourist stops.

The ticket validation system is dreadful. The ATM inspectors are raiding the trams in groups, absolutely don't care, not even willing to listen to any explanations. They exhibit extreme rudeness, arrogance, and aggression, so it almost feels like you're being robbed when paying fines. Also, they mostly communicate in their language.

We used metro, tram and busses extensively during our visit to Milan. It is easy and cheap: €4,50 for 24hours or €8,25 for 48 hours from the time you validate the ticket. We downloaded the map of all lines from the atm website and had it as a pdf on our smart phone. It comes in a very high resolution so we could at any time zoom in and find the nearest bus / tram / metro when we wanted to go to a new place.

On Piazza Castello, you will probably see a green restored 1920s tramcar offering a 1hr 45min city tour. For 20 euros you get a long trip around some rather dull streets, many of them disfigured by the graffiti which some Milanese youngsters scrawl everywhere, and a poor commentary. It's too expensive, not interesting enough, and not recommended.

I visited Milan more than 10 times and liked the metro system very much. Last time I took a tram for first time in this city... and last time. The issue is that having a right ticket (24 hours), I did not stamped it correctly. Not sure, but possibly because the scanner inside the tram just did not work properly. At the stop, 4 policemen passed all locals, looking for tourists. They checked my ticket. No explanations that I have a proper ticket, were not accepted. They charged me for 36 euro. After my refusal, they asked for my passport to check it. Then they started to blackmail me, that they would not return it to me, if I will not pay immediately. Interesting that they provided an option to pay with credit card :) So I was forced to pay. Then I received a check.
I just wonder, how would they proceed if I did not show them my passport?

While waiting for the tram to arrive, we searched for the ticket machines and for any signs about tickets, of which there were none to be found. We had 5€ on us and we asked the tram driver how we pay, showed him the 5€ note. (The journey was €1.50 each). He beckoned us onto the tram. We did as we were advised assuming we could pay on the tram, or perhaps like some other European cities, transport was free if you stayed in the city or something. Low and behold, multiple officers got on the tram and asked for tickets. They ushered us off the tram when we tried to pay. Asked us for our ID and told us to pay €35 each. We explained exactly what had happened which was 100% the truth, that we had asked the driver how to pay and that he had beckoned us into the tram.
No matter what we said, it didn’t matter. He was chatting and laughing with his colleagues in Italian over me while I was trying to explain our situation to him. This infuriated me further of course!
I asked him why the tram driver didn’t tell us we had to pay first, or even tell us vaguely how to get tickets. He said the tram driver is paid to drive and nothing more. The truth...it’s a big scam to catch tourists out!
Disgusted with this behaviour towards tourists! In most cities it’s fairly obvious how to get a ticket for the tram, I’m fairly sure they make plenty of money out of tourists here by it being so difficult to get tickets without knowing how. (Tobacco stores/underground stations)
You would think if you ask someone how to buy tickets, they could give you some advice, not just beckon you onto the train knowing full well we would be fined and then have driven off before we could be prove our case that he allowed us on knowing we didn’t have a ticket.
Feels very like a legal government driven scam to me!

This is a huge scam for tourists. Me and my partner had bought two all day ticket from the metro station. It was our first trip on the tram and not really sure what we were doing we asked a ticket inspector for advice to check we were getting the right tram and that our tickets were okay for where we needed to go. He told us we were on the right side of the road, our tickets were fine and that it was 20 minutes away. We got on the tram and he also got on when it arrived. One stop in he asked to see our tickets again which we thought was odd. Straight away he said we had not validated our tickets and that we were being fined 36€ (you are suppose to stamp your tickets every trip- he could have told us if he actually wanted to help but he was actually waiting to fine us). We protested he should have told us and we were not paying so he made us get off at the next stop with him and another ticket inspector turned up. They also insisted we paid the 36€ fine or we had to hand over our passports (which we didn’t actually have on us). We continued arguing for 15 minutes and my girlfriend actually got quite upset as it was fining us our allowance for the day but they didn’t seem to care more robot than human. Anyway a third ticket inspector then turned up and he signalled a passing police car to pull over which they did. At this point I decided to pay the €36 euros each as the police agreed it was what we needed to do and they weren’t giving up. It was a very unpleasant experience and just a total money making tourist scam.

Hallo Wolfgang,
natürlich hast Du recht, dass es neuere Fahrzeuge braucht. In Mailand verkehren mehrere Straßenbahnlinien auch (fast) der gesamtem Linie.
Dort sind auch neue Fahrzeuge im Einsatz. Die alten Wagen sind eine Atraktivität für die Verkehrsbetriebe und müssen einstzfähig erhalten bleiben.
Jeder der schon einmal in Lissabon war ist dort mit der Straßenbahn gefahren. Sie ist ein Wahrzeichen der Stadt.
Viele Grüße
Herbert

I'm visiting Milan with me 2 children this week, My son wants to visit the San Siro Stadium, how easy is it getting a tram there? I'm hearing horror stories about getting the right ticket, and as a mum on her own I want to get on ok, it talks online about getting the ticket validated, is this on the actual tram/Metro and if I get a 24 hour pass, do I have to validate it going and on the way back as well or just the once? any helpful advise welcome.

Hi Michelle,
If you speak Italian, then it will be easy for you. However, if not as I suspect, it would be easier for you to take a cab. You can have your hotel book you one, which is the safest, time saving and cost effective to go about it. However, if you want to travel by tram, you will have to ask what Tram number to catch and buy your ticket at a tobacconist. You can buy a single journey for 1 Euro or a 90 minutes journey for 1.50 Euros. Once on the Tram, you have to insert hour ticket in the orange machine which will validate your ticket. Also, the underground is quite efficient The Metro. Again, for the least hassle, take a cab.
Hope you have a good time in Milan.
Dominic

nemmeno io conosco bene le linee tranviarie della città ma Milano non è così grande e penso che il modo migliore per visitarla sia a piedi perdendosi nella bellezza delle sue strade!
