San Siro Stadium, Milan

San Siro in Milan is one stadium with two names and two home teams: officially Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, universally San Siro, and the home ground of both AC Milan and Inter. With 75,817 seats it is the largest stadium in Italy, according to the official site (sansirostadium.com), and it holds UEFA’s top Category 4 rating. For visitors that means three separate decisions: the Museum & Tour, the new rooftop Skywalk, and whether you can get into an actual match.

Start with the money. The official adult Museum & Tour ticket is €37, reduced €27, and the Skywalk is €26 alone or €11 bolted onto a tour ticket. Everything else on this page — partner tickets, match seats, combined passes — is measured against those numbers.

San Siro tour tickets: official desk, Tiqets or GetYourGuide

The tour is the same product wherever you buy it. What changes is the entry queue, the cancellation terms and whether the Skywalk is bundled in.

Prices checked September 2026. Partner prices are per person.

The honest read: if you qualify for a reduced or family rate, buy at the official channel — no partner replicates those categories. If you want one voucher on your phone and a fixed slot, the partner tickets cost a couple of euros more and save you the Italian-language ticket flow.

What you actually see inside

The route goes through the parts of the ground that are normally sealed off: the AC Milan and Inter dressing rooms, the mixed zone where players face reporters after the whistle, the tunnel out to the pitch, and pitchside by the benches. You get within a metre of the grass, not onto it.

Then the San Siro Museum, which is shared between the two clubs — match-worn shirts, derby and European-night memorabilia, models, interactive stations and large LED walls. The official ticketing pages describe the museum part as free-flow, roughly an hour, with an app adding extra content along the way. A stadium VR attraction is announced for autumn 2026, and stadium-branded merchandise joined the club kit in the San Siro Store from September 2026.

Practical note: the tour includes flights of stairs. Wheelchair users are routed separately and reach every area of the tour, and the museum has a ramp, a lift and seating along the way.

The Skywalk: 55 metres up on the red beams

Since 4 May 2026 you can go up onto the roof. You climb a corner tower by lift and stairs to about 55 m, walk the technical gangways from Tower 4 to Tower 1 — with an optional walkway suspended over the drop — and return along the third tier. Total time about 30 minutes, including the safety briefing, and it ends at the museum if you have both tickets.

The rules are firm, so read them before you book: closed shoes with rubber soles (no heels, sandals or flip-flops), bags left at the entrance, no under-7s, no access with reduced mobility even temporary, no pregnancy beyond the 24th week, no vertigo sufferers. It is an outdoor attraction and runs March to October only, on Museum & Tour hours. Heavy rain, strong wind or snow can suspend it — the official pages promise a full refund if the activity is cancelled.

One inconsistency to plan around: the ticketing FAQ asks you at Gate 6 ten minutes before your slot, while the Skywalk page is explicit — “arrive at the designated gate (Gate 6 – Museum&Tour) 20 minutes before the time indicated on your ticket”. Take the twenty and the question disappears.

Match days: how to buy tickets to a game

Buy from the clubs first. AC Milan sells home fixtures through acmilan.com and Inter through inter.it, both with named tickets and identity checks at the turnstiles. Sales open fixture by fixture, with priority windows for members before the general release, and the derby and big European nights are the ones that vanish.

When the official sale is gone — or when the club’s registration defeats you from abroad — the partner match products below are the realistic fallback. Read them for what they are: a numbered seat resold with a service margin, no refunds, and a category the seller chooses.

Two warnings worth more than any saving. First, the Inter product has almost no review history yet, so treat its rating as noise. Second, a match ticket is not a tour ticket: on match day the Museum & Tour is usually closed or cut short, so do not plan both for the same afternoon.

For seating, San Siro is sold by ring and colour — first or second tier, red, green, blue or orange — and the stadium has reserved places and dedicated access for disabled supporters. Seven main gates open, rising to fifteen for big events. On match days a shuttle links the Lampugnano car park with the ground; the streets around the stadium are residents-only parking and cars get towed.

Timing: read the opening calendar before anything else

The stadium publishes a calendar that marks every date as open, closed or reduced hours, alongside the fixture list. It is the single most useful page on the official site. A Serie A weekend can shut the museum for a full day, and a midweek fixture routinely closes the ticket office in early afternoon.

Otherwise: first slots after 09:30 are the quietest, midday on a weekday is calm, and Saturday afternoons are the busiest hours in the museum. Winter hours are an hour shorter, so a November visit needs to start before 17:00 — and that is the ticket office closing, not the last moment you can be inside.

How to save

• All In One Pass — one ticket for the Mondo Milan Museum at Casa Milan plus the San Siro Museum & Tour: €60 full, €42 reduced, €135 for a family of 2+1, according to acmilan.com. Sold online and at the Casa Milan and San Siro ticket desks. It beats buying both separately if you genuinely want two football museums.
• Skywalk as an add-on — €11 with a Museum & Tour ticket against €26 on its own. Book both for the same day.
• Family Pack — €24.50 per person for four museum entries, maximum two adults, at the official channel.
• Groups of 50 or more get a special rate on request from tour@sansirostadium.com; booking is then compulsory.
• Free and reduced entry — reduced covers under 14, over 65, an unaccompanied visitor with a disability, and the companion of a visitor who cannot do the tour alone; that visitor enters free with at least one companion paying the reduced rate.
• Duomo bundle — Tiqets discounts a Duomo di Milano ticket paired with San Siro by 5%, which is the cheapest way to combine the cathedral with the stadium if you were buying both anyway. Compare it against our /duomo-tickets/ page before committing.

How to get there

Metro M5 (lilac) to San Siro Stadio is the answer for almost everyone; the walk to Gate 6 takes a few minutes. Tram 16 and bus 49 use the same stop. From Milano Centrale, take M2 (green) towards Abbiategrasso/Assago Forum, change at Garibaldi FS to M5. From Cadorna, M2 towards Cologno Nord/Gessate, then the same change. Total time from Piazza del Duomo is about 30 minutes door to door on ATM services.

From the airports: Linate is M4 to San Babila, M1 to Lotto, then M5. Malpensa is the Malpensa Express to Cadorna, then M2 to Garibaldi FS and M5. Bergamo Orio al Serio is a coach to Milano Centrale and the Centrale route above.

Museum & Tour visitors can use the stadium’s paid car park during opening hours only.

Casa Milan is not San Siro

This is the single most common mix-up in Milan football planning. Casa Milan, at Via Aldo Rossi 8 in Portello, is AC Milan’s headquarters: the Mondo Milan Museum with 42 trophies, the club store, a bistrot. It is open daily 10:00–19:00 and costs €20–€22 for a full ticket. San Siro is the shared stadium, 4 km west, open on the hours in the box above.

They are different tickets, different metro stops (M5 Portello against M5 San Siro Stadio) and different experiences — trophies and club history at one, the ground itself at the other. Both sit on the M5 line, which is why doing them in one day works: Mondo Milan at opening, San Siro after lunch. Our /casa-milan/ page has the full price table.

The future of the stadium

San Siro was built in 1926 for 35,000 spectators, extended in 1935 and 1955, renamed after Giuseppe Meazza in 1980, and rebuilt for Italia ‘90 with a third tier and full roof — the version you visit, reopened on 25 April 1990. It has been operated since then by M-I Stadio, the company jointly held by AC Milan and Inter.

The ownership question is now settled. Milan’s city council approved the sale of the stadium and the land around it to AC Milan and Inter on 30 September 2025, valued at €197 million, and the clubs signed the deeds on 5 November 2025 — days before a heritage protection order on the second tier would have taken effect and made demolition impossible.

The clubs have since appointed Foster + Partners and Manica to design a replacement of about 71,500 seats on the same site, with most of the existing stadium coming down once the new one is finished. No construction date is fixed and the reported timetable runs to the end of the decade, so treat any completion year you read as an intention rather than a booking.

None of it affects a visit today. The tours run, and the operator’s own site documents the recent direction of travel: the roof opened to visitors in 2026, a VR attraction is due in autumn 2026, and the ground took a central role in the run-up to the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Nearby and combining

The San Siro district has more than the stadium: the Ippodromo di San Siro racecourse next door, and De Montel – Terme Milano, the spa that opened in 2025 in the former De Montel stables, a short walk away. That combination — stadium in the morning, thermal baths in the afternoon — is the best-value half day in western Milan.

For a fuller day, pair San Siro with the centre rather than with another museum out here: the /last-supper/ needs a fixed slot anyway, and the M5 gets you back to Garibaldi in fifteen minutes. If you are building a several-day plan, our /tickets-passes/ page compares the city cards, and /platforms/tiqets/ explains how partner vouchers and cancellation actually work.

San Siro Milan rewards a small amount of planning: check the opening calendar, pick your slot, add the Skywalk if heights appeal, and buy match tickets from the clubs before you look anywhere else. Do that and the €37 tour is one of the better hours you will spend in the city.
