Trams of Milan, Italy- by K.J.S.Chatrath

The Milan tramway network is an important part of the public transport network of Milan, Italy. In operation since 1881, the network is now 170 kilometers long.

The tickets for the tram or any other means of transport in Milan,  can be purchased in the metro stops, kiosks or off-licenses.
