Taxis in Milan
Italy’s second-largest city often gets written off as being more cosmopolitan than Italian. But give it time and you’ll discover that Milan is not just about mainstream fashion and money. Less romantic than Rome, but still a joy to behold, this savvy metropolis has hidden treasures, which can only be unlocked from the comfort of a cosy taxi. So if you are visiting the city for your annual shopping spree and would rather visit Corso Venezia twice than lose your way in the underground, spare yourself some trouble and hop on a white Milan taxi. Because what else would you do in Milan except travel in style?

How to get a Taxi in Milan
Taxis in Milan are not very easy to flag down as drivers are not used to picking up passengers off the street. The best thing to do is walk to the nearest taxi stand, call a local company or download a Milan taxi app. Ranks are located in Piazza Duomo, Piazza Repubblica, Piazza Duca D’Aosta, near Garibaldi railway station, Piazza Castello, and Largo Augusto, as well outside train stations and at the airport.
During rainy days or periods when the Fiera Milano has events, taxis are almost impossible to find, so waiting times may be longer. When calling a radio taxi company, the meter starts running as soon as the driver gets the call.
Reliable taxi companies in Milan include Etaxy, that can be reached at +39 02 8191 and Radio Taxi Freccia. The latter can be contacted by phone at +39 02 4000.
