The San Siro guides
I live here. These guides cover what guests actually need and the booking portals never tell you: when the district fills up, how to leave the stadium without losing an hour, and what is changing around the Meazza.
Exhibitions
Milan exhibitions open in August
Kiefer, Clemente, Cao Fei, Picasso, Pomodoro: open all August, queue-free. With closing dates.
Ferragosto

In 2026 the 15th is a Saturday. Museums open, shops do not, and eating is the real problem.
Practical

Tow-away zones, M1 park-and-ride, and the alternative nobody mentions.
Practical
