Milan is getting ready to welcome an extraordinary flow of visitors ahead of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. For many travelers, the city will be more than just a stopover—it will be the perfect base for a few days of exploration, between events, shopping and culture. Those looking for a convenient, well-connected, central accommodation can count on short-term rentals in the heart of Milan to combine comfort and functionality.
Apartments in central Milan for those traveling to Cortina
Choosing a short-term rental apartment in the center of Milan is the ideal solution for travelers arriving by plane or train before heading to Cortina. A central location ensures easy travel to and from the main train stations or highways. It also allows for a few days of sightseeing and relaxation before heading to the mountains.
Milan Retreats offers apartments in prime locations like Duomo, Brera, Porta Venezia, and Repubblica—all perfectly connected to routes heading toward Valtellina and the Veneto region.
Tourist accommodations in Milan for Olympic visitors
During major events, hotels and B&Bs fill up quickly and prices often rise. Short-term rentals offer flexibility, privacy, and great value for money. Travelers stopping in Milan for two or three nights can enjoy a fully independent stay, with spacious rooms, fully equipped kitchens, and tailored services.
This formula is ideal for families with children, couples or groups of friends heading to the Winter Games who want to experience the city while enjoying their trip.
Short-term rentals in Milan near main train stations
For those traveling by train and needing easy access to Cortina or other mountain destinations, staying near the city’s major train stations is key. Milan Retreats offers apartments near Milano Centrale, Garibaldi and Cadorna—perfect for practical and efficient travel.
Milano Centrale is particularly strategic: trains depart from here to Verona, Venice, Belluno, and also to Tirano for those heading to Valtellina and planning to take the Bernina Express. Apartments in this area help you plan your trip with ease.
Short stays in Milan before hitting the ski slopes
Many travelers choose to stop in Milan for a short break before heading to the mountains. In this case, a centrally located apartment allows you to make the most of your time and visit the city’s main attractions: the Duomo, Castello Sforzesco, Navigli, the Fashion District, and more.
By choosing a centrally located rental, you can easily get around on foot or by public transport, without long transfers. Thanks to self check-in and dedicated support, Milan Retreats apartments are also ideal for late arrivals or early departures.
Tourist rentals with kitchens for a practical and relaxing stop
One of the biggest advantages of tourist apartments in central Milan is having a kitchen. For travelers heading to Cortina with kids, specific dietary needs, or simply wanting to save money on meals, having a kitchen is a real bonus.
All Milan Retreats apartments are equipped with modern and functional kitchens—ideal for preparing breakfast, a quick lunch or a cozy dinner before traveling. Plus, you’ll find supermarkets, food shops, bakeries, and local markets nearby.
Sleep in Milan in comfort before the 2026 Winter Olympics
Another essential factor is the quality of rest. Travelers heading to the mountains might arrive in Milan after long flights or train journeys, with heavy luggage or ski equipment. That’s why choosing a comfortable, spacious, and fully equipped apartment matters.
Milan Retreats properties are designed with both aesthetics and practicality in mind. They offer cozy bedrooms, bright living spaces, fast Wi-Fi, and helpful support to meet every need. Perfect to start—or end—your Olympic journey in the best possible way.
Close to the city center and well connected to Cortina-bound routes
If you’re planning your trip to Milan for the 2026 Winter Games, location is key. An apartment in central Milan allows you to enjoy the city, while also staying close to transport links to Cortina.
From neighborhoods like Porta Venezia, Repubblica, Centrale, or Brera, it’s easy to reach highways, train lines and buses heading to the mountains. Plus, you can make the most of your stay with some shopping, museum visits, or relaxing strolls before continuing your trip.
