Milano / Milan / Mailand to Arona by train
How to take a train journey from Milano to Arona on Lake Maggiore
Arona on the shores of Lake Maggiore is close enough to Milano to be part of the city's regional train network, which is operated by Trenord and not by Treniatlia.
The only options for taking a train from Milano to Arona are therefore the Regionale (R) services operated by Trenord.
Though a complication is that most of the trains depart from Milano's secondary station, Porta Garibaldi, with fewer departures also available from the city's main rail station, Milano Centrale.
So if you will be buying tickets last minute at the station (you can't save by booking in advance) it's best to look up the train times on the Trenord website before setting off for the station
There are gaps of more than an hour between departures from both Porta Garibaldi and Centrale stations
