The town
Grande Milano, or Greater Milan, is the urban area surrounding the city of Milan, the capital of Lombardy in Italy. This guide covers the locations surrounding Milan that fall within the boundaries of the Metropolitan City of Milan, as well as Monza and Brianza under the administrative split of Lombardy. The Lake Como area and province of Lecco are a district of Greater Milan exclusively for the super-rich and VIPs.
One can assume that all of the towns around Milan are just bedroom communities providing the big city with extra labour force, this is very much not the case with Grande Milano. Many of the localities have their own unique character and history, with town centres full of architectural heritage and much to offer in terms of culture and sightseeing.

Getting there
Arriving from Milan, you can either take a S-train, which stops at every station on the route, or a “Regionale”/“Regionale Veloce” which will stop in less and more major locations.
The hub from which almost every S-train pass through is Milan Porta Garibaldi, where lines S1, S2, S5, S6, S7, S8 and S13 meet, although Milano Cadorna is also useful, with lines S3 and S4 departing from here. Monza can also be a useful hub, since here you can take the S7, S8, S9 lines and “Regionale/ Regionale veloce” regional trains (to and from the cities of Lecco, Como, Bergamo and Lugano and several other towns and villages)
S-trains are usually every 30 minutes all day, from 5-6 a.m. up to 9-11 p.m. depending on the line. The farther from Milan it is, the sooner the service usually stops. Some outer lines may be cut back in mid morning or on Sundays, but at least hourly service is usually guaranteed thanks to the many intersecting lines.
These are primarily commuter trains, so keep in mind they serve the most complete routes (and are at the most crowded) at peak times and may run shorter routes or times on festivities and Sundays.
Ticket price depends on the zone you depart, arrive and pass through, with no distinction between regional or S-trains and are valid on every route, inside the fare zone you purchased; this applies only if you are depart and arrive inside the STIBM, or the “Milan and Brianza integrated fare zone”.
