Luggage storage in Milano Centrale
Suppose you want to take advantage of the time left before your departure by sightseeing around the city or grabbing some food without the hassle of carrying your bags. In that case, you’ll need to leave your suitcase in a safe and affordable luggage storage facility near Milano Centrale.
Both inside the Central Station located in Piazza Duca d’Aosta and its surroundings, there are several places where you can get rid of your bulky suitcase, your heavy backpack, and other stuff.
Inside the train station, you’ll find the KiPoint luggage storage office on the ground floor of the Galleria Commerciale. It’s also a postal office and is open every day from 6am to 11pm.
Here are the rates for each piece of luggage:
- €6 for the first 5 hours (€ 1.20 for each hour);
- €1 for each additional hour (from the sixth to the twelfth);
- €0,50 for each hour after the twelfth.
- You can pay either in cash and by credit card.
However, there are some disadvantages to this service. First of all, being inside the station, there are usually very long queues at both drop-off and pick-up. Also, the prices are quite high compared to other efficient storage services we’re going to talk about.
Please note, that the Kipoint luggage storage service is currently unavailable.
