ITALY → TICINO
From Milan to Ticino’s casinos
Compare time, transport and the journey home before choosing the venue. At night, the return matters more than saving ten minutes outbound.
Choose the right venue
Mendrisio is usually most direct from the border, Lugano pairs rail with the city centre, and Locarno rewards a Lake Maggiore night.
