Where you will use it
Around Milan
Full coverage in Duomo, Brera, Navigli, Porta Nuova, Isola on every plan.
- Tap a contactless card on the metro gates and buses; the ATM app is the alternative for daily tickets.
- Book the Last Supper weeks ahead and the Duomo roof the day before; both sell out and both need the ticket on your phone.
- TIM and Vodafone are strongest around the lakes; in the city every network, including the metro, is fine.
