Milan has one enormous ground shared by two clubs. San Siro hosts both AC Milan and Inter, which means a weekend here can mean two entirely different crowds in the same stadium.
Getting around
Transport in Milan
- Milan Metro — line M5 to San Siro Stadio, directly in front of the ground.
- Milan Metro — lines M1 and M5 to Lotto, about a fifteen-minute walk away.
- Tram 16 terminates in front of the stadium, giving a second route from the centre.
Planning
A football weekend in Milan
San Siro is the ideal two-match ground: if Milan and Inter both play at home on the same weekend, you can see the same stadium twice with two different atmospheres. Check the fixture list early — the two clubs rarely play at home on the same day.
Whichever ground you choose, the pattern of the day is the same: travel in with the crowd, arrive at the turnstiles about an hour before kick-off, and leave the return journey until the first surge has cleared. In Milan that advice matters most at the nearest station to the ground, where the queue builds within minutes of the final whistle.
