Milano Cadorna FN, the Trenord station, is about 300–400 m from the Castle. It is also a stop on the M1 and M2 metro lines.

We could not confirm current timetables or fares: check Trenord.

The area in front of the fountain is pedestrian and the Castle is inside the ZTL and Area C zones. There are two spaces for badge holders along the square and two in Via Quintino Sella. We could not confirm recommended car parks.
