San Siro Stadium Tour in Milan

For any football fan (or soccer fan as it is called in North America and Australia) traveling to Milan, visiting San Siro Stadium—home to both A.C. Milan and Inter Milan—is an absolute must. More than just a stadium, San Siro is an icon of Italian passion for the sport, a place where history and football culture truly meet.

Even better if you have the chance to watch at the stadium the derby Inter x Milan, which in Italy is known as Derby della Madonina, referring to the St. Mary’s statue at the top of Duomo Cathedral since 1774.

Your San Siro Visit: What to Expect

The stadium is open for tours every day, typically from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. It’s always a good idea to check the official calendar before your visit, as tour and museum hours might change on match days or during special events.

I recommend setting aside at least half a day for your visit. This will give you plenty of time to explore everything at your leisure and truly soak in the atmosphere of this legendary venue.
