Italy is served via Milan, northern Italy's rail and distribution hub, on the China–Europe block-train network. Cargo exits at Alashankou or Khorgos, crosses Kazakhstan, Belarus and Poland, enters the EU at Malaszewicze, and runs on to Milan for onward delivery across northern Italy and southern Europe. Indicative transit is 18–22 days.
Milan is the natural arrival for northern Italy — Lombardy, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna and Piedmont — and it links onward to southern Europe by road and rail. It is served through the China–Europe block-train network, including the corridors that call at Milan on the deep-inland timetables.
