Hello,
My friend and I will be flying into Milan (MXP) in mid-September on separate flights that are scheduled to arrive within an hour of each other in the afternoon. We plan to go straight from the airport to Varenna (Lake Como) by train (via Milano Centrale station). Should we purchase the train ticket from Milano Centrale to Varenna ahead of time? My concern with purchasing ahead of time is if one or both of our flights are delayed/ flight schedules change/ customs line takes longer than expected/ etc. On the other hand, I'm worried about trains being sold out or encountering long ticket lines if we do not purchase ahead of time.
Does anyone have any advice or guidance?
Thanks in advance.
