True footie fans can join a Milan football tour that includes a San Siro Stadium tour. Tours cover the field, the team locker rooms, and the stadium museum, which is dedicated to the history of both the Milan and Inter clubs. Many soccer-centric tours also stop at Casa Milan, the stylish AC Milan headquarters.
Otherwise, hop on a city sightseeing bus and combine stops at the stadium and museum with visits to other city highlights such as the Milan Duomo and La Scala Opera House. San Siro also hosts concerts and other large events, so there are non-football-related opportunities to see the stadium as well.
Watching a soccer game in Italy is an unforgettable experience, and you'll be surrounded by chanting and cheering football fans.
Be sure to book San Siro Stadium tickets well in advance, as they quickly sell out for home games.
Large bags and backpacks are prohibited, and there's a security check at the stadium's entrance.
Inter players dress in blue and black, and Milan players in red and black.
An official store sells team scarves and other souvenirs for AC Milan and Inter fans.
San Siro, located on Piazzale Angelo Moratti in the San Siro district, west of downtown Milan, is easy to reach on public transportation: take the metro purple line (M5) or bus/tram 49 and 16.
The soccer season runs from August to May. The San Siro Museum is open daily from 9:30am to 6pm, though the hours may change on game days.
Football is Italy’s national sport, and home matches of Milan’s two Serie A teams are the greatest highlights of the year for fans. Emotions run high at their derbies—especially when the Milanese teams are vying for a spot in the Champions League or World Cup. Nearly every Italian city and town has a home football team. Milan and Inter are the two teams based in Milan, while other famous big-city clubs are Roma, Lazio, Juventus, and Napoli.
