Luggage storage in Milan at a glance

Many visitors to Milan arrive by train or plane hours before they can check in, or leave late after checking out, with a suitcase still in tow.

Most of the city’s big attractions refuse large bags at the door, while the main airports and a handful of cultural sites do have storage of their own, so it pays to know which is which before you set out. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per bag per day at 70+ locations across Milan.

Luggage storage at the main stations

Milan Cadorna station has no left luggage or locker facility run by the station itself, so if you arrive there you'll need another plan for your bag. The Malpensa Express also serves Cadorna, reaching Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 in roughly 37 to 38 minutes, which makes it a natural arrival point for airport travellers.

An automated storage facility sits at Via Santa Maria Valle 1, a four-minute walk from the Duomo, and is a practical fallback for bags when you're staying or visiting that part of the centre.

If you're using the metro with luggage, ATM asks that you keep your bag on the floor and hold it at all times so it doesn't block passages or cause problems. For step-free access at metro stations, call the freephone number 800.80.81.81 before you travel to check which lifts are working.

Luggage storage at the airports

Milan Malpensa Airport Terminal 1 runs its own luggage deposit desk on the ground floor of Arrivals, open every day from 07:00 to 21:00, so you can leave bags there before a long stopover or a day in the city. From Linate Airport, the M4 metro line reaches San Babila in 12 minutes, which puts you in the middle of the city quickly but means you'll still need somewhere to stow luggage once you arrive. If you're heading towards Switzerland instead, the Tilo S50 runs from both Malpensa terminals through Varese, Mendrisio, Lugano and Bellinzona to Canton Ticino.

Luggage storage and bag rules at attractions

The Milan Duomo and its Monumental Complex turn away suitcases, large bags and large rucksacks entirely, so leave anything sizable outside before you go in. It is generally open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with last admission typically 30 to 60 minutes before closing. Palazzo Reale Milano won't let you bring suitcases or bulky luggage inside at all, and its cloakroom can't store them either. Smaller items like backpacks, bulky bags, helmets and umbrellas must be left in the cloakroom on each floor, and scooters and folding bicycles are also refused. The palace is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 19:30, with Thursday evenings running until 22:30 and is closed on Mondays.

Visitors are not allowed to bring luggage or large bags inside the San Siro Stadium Museum and Tour, and must leave them in a dedicated area inside the gatehouse at the museum entrance. The museum is reached by public transport via metro line M5 (purple) to the “San Siro Stadio” stop, also served by bus 49 and tram line 16 to “San Siro Stadio M5”.

The Pinacoteca Ambrosiana requires all bulky bags, backpacks, suitcases, trolleys and helmets to be deposited at the entrance cloakroom before you walk around. The Museo del Cenacolo Vinciano goes further and bans bulky luggage outright, with only a few lockers available for emergencies during your visit. Gallerie d'Italia offers a guarded cloakroom on the basement floor where large bags and backpacks are stored free of charge.

Palazzo Ducale blocks suitcases, trolleys and any bulky bag over one linear metre in total dimensions. Expect a bag check as part of the security screening before entering the San Siro Stadium Museum and Tour.
