In 2026, Milan’s extensive tram network maintains a very generous schedule, typically operating from approximately 5:00 AM until 2:00 AM the following morning. While the Metro (subway) usually shuts down around 12:30 AM, the trams serve as a vital late-night backbone for the city. After the regular tram service ends at 2:00 AM, Milan transitions to its "N" (Notte) night bus network, which often follows similar routes to the main tram lines (like the 90/91 circular routes) to ensure 24-hour connectivity. It is important to note that frequency drops significantly after midnight, with trams arriving every 20–30 minutes rather than the 5–10 minute intervals seen during the day. During major holidays like Christmas or New Year's Eve, schedules may be shortened, typically ending around 7:30 PM. For late-night travelers, the "ATM Milano" app provides real-time tracking, which is essential as some tram stops are "request only" or may have temporary diversions due to track maintenance that often occurs in the early morning hours to minimize disruption to the heavy daytime commute.
