Italian travel tips & some key information
Milan Airport
Milan Malpensa is the closest international airport. Many airlines fly from Australia to Milan, with the usual stopover in the Middle East or Asia. We have had success finding great value flights to Milan at:

As is usually the case, flights tend to get more expensive the closer you get to a European Summer.
