The San Siro stadium tour

Short answer: you enter at the museum on Piazzale Angelo Moratti, no match ticket needed, and walk through the stadium itself: stands, dressing rooms, pitchside. One rule to know before you travel: on match and concert days the tour is closed or cut short.

What you see

The route joins the museum — shirts, trophies and the twin histories of Inter and Milan — to the physical building: the climb through the tiers, the view down over the three balconies, both dressing rooms and the walk out to pitchside. That is where the Meazza does its work: from the grass the structure seems to close over your head.

Opening hours, prices and which sectors are accessible change with the season and with event setups, so check the stadium's official channel before you go. What doesn't change is the logistics — and that is where most visitors get it wrong.

Mistakes to avoid

• Turning up on an event day. The tour closes or shortens for setup and security — that applies to matches and, with several days' notice, to concerts. Check the events calendar before choosing your date.
• Coming by car. The forecourt is not a visitor car park: the M5 metro arrives beneath the stadium and is always the right call.
• Allowing half an hour. Museum and route together need an hour and a half to two hours to enjoy properly.
• Stopping at the stadium. A few minutes' walk away are the racecourse, the liberty-era De Montel stables now turned into urban thermal baths, and the Lido under reconstruction: the district is worth half a day, not an hour.

Getting there

Metro M5 (lilac): the San Siro Stadio terminus opens onto the forecourt, or San Siro Ippodromo one stop earlier, handier if you are staying in the district. From Duomo about 25 minutes: M1 to Lotto, change to M5. From Porta Garibaldi, nine direct stops. The full M5 guide, with real journey times →

Why go now

In November 2025 Inter and Milan bought the stadium and the land around it; the new ground will rise next to the Meazza, with works expected from early 2027. The stadium stays in use during the build, but its own site will then be redeveloped. Anyone who wants to walk inside the Meazza as it is has a window, not forever.
