I will fly into Milan MXP at 9.20pm on Sept 6th. MXP is far from the city. What are some suggestions on where to spend the night after arriving late at night from SFO.

Take the train or bus to the city(where?) and how to get to the hotel (recommendations) from the bus/train station? Is there a train station near the airport?

The next day, I plan on taking the train to Venice so i want to be close to the train station. However, areas around train stations are notoriously bad, and would it be safe for a single woman to be wondering around at night. What is the safest and most efficient way given the scenario I just described.

I have had some great suggestions from a fellow Ziners, but other suggestions would also help me to plan.

Thanks,
