Milan Stadium Tour: San Siro Tickets & Visitor Guide

What a San Siro stadium tour includes

A standard guided San Siro tour takes you into areas that are off-limits on a normal matchday. You follow the players' route down the tunnel, step into the home and away dressing rooms, reach pitch level, and finish in the stadium museum among the shirts and trophies of AC Milan and Inter.

The cheaper official ticket is a self-guided Museum & Tour rather than a live-guided experience. Guided tours sold through booking platforms cost more but add a guide, story-telling and, on some products, a small-group format.

• Pitch-side view from the lower stands (you don't walk on the playing surface)
• The players' tunnel and mixed zone from dressing room to pitch
• Home and away dressing rooms and the press room (when open)
• The San Siro museum: shirts, trophies and memorabilia from both clubs

Guided tour or the official self-guided ticket?

The official Museum & Tour is the cheapest way inside San Siro. It comes as a fixed-date ticket (tied to one day) or a pricier open-date ticket valid for about three months — worth the few euros extra if your plans might change. Guided tours sold through booking platforms cost more but add a live guide, and the rooftop Skywalk and a live matchday are different experiences again.

Getting to San Siro and when it's open

San Siro sits in north-west Milan at Via Piccolomini 5. The simplest arrival is Metro Line 5 (the lilac line) to the San Siro Stadio stop, a short walk from the tour entrance at Gate 8. Tram 16 from the city centre and several buses also serve the area.

The Museum & Tour is generally open daily from 9:30, closing at 17:00 in winter (November–March) and 18:00 in summer (April–October), with last entry around 30 minutes before closing. Always leave a buffer to find the right gate and check in.

Matchdays, concerts and a stadium on borrowed time

On match and concert days the tour route can be shortened or closed entirely, and dressing-room access may be withdrawn — check the stadium's own calendar before choosing a date. Booking a non-matchday visit gives you the best chance of the full behind-the-scenes route.

There is a bigger reason not to wait. AC Milan and Inter bought San Siro and the surrounding land in 2025, and plans for a 71,500-seat replacement stadium next door mean about nine-tenths of the current ground faces demolition later this decade — with only part of the Curva Sud earmarked to survive as a museum. San Siro hosted the opening ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics as one of its final global moments. The tour is expected to keep running while construction begins nearby, but the stadium you can walk today is on a clock.

Accessibility, bags and photography

San Siro offers step-free access to the museum, the main stadium routes, selected stands and restrooms, though some behind-the-scenes areas can be restricted depending on the day's setup. If you need a specific adjustment, contact the operator through your booking before you pay.

A few practical rules trip visitors up. Tickets are personal and allow a single entry, so there is no re-entry once you leave. Large bags (bigger than roughly A4 size) are usually not permitted, and professional cameras, tripods and flash are not allowed, although phone photos are fine.

• Step-free access to the museum, main routes and selected stands
• Single entry only — no re-entry on the same ticket
• No bags larger than about A4, no tripods, no flash
• Phone photography is welcome throughout

Best time to visit and booking ahead

The quietest slots are the first hour after opening (around 9:30–11:00) and weekdays outside the summer peak. Weekend, holiday and peak-season departures can sell out one to two weeks ahead, so book early if your dates are fixed. If they aren't, the open-date ticket buys you flexibility.

Always cross-check the stadium's event calendar before choosing a day — a home fixture or concert can close the behind-the-scenes route entirely.

Seeing an actual AC Milan or Inter match

A tour is not the same as a game. If you want to watch AC Milan or Inter play, buy match tickets from the clubs' official websites rather than resale sites, where prices are inflated and entry can be refused. As a rough guide, curva (behind-goal) seats start around €25–45, second-tier seats run about €60–110, and first-tier or premium seats climb to roughly €120–220 depending on the fixture.

Our matchday listing pairs a game with a local host, but the tickets themselves are always issued in the attendee's name, so bring photo ID that matches the booking.

What's nearby

San Siro sits away from the historic centre, so most visitors pair it with sights on the way back in. Casa Milan and its Mondo Milan museum are about a kilometre away (Metro M5 to Portello). Back in the centre, the Duomo and its rooftops, Leonardo's Last Supper at Santa Maria delle Grazie, Sforza Castle and Sempione Park, and the canal-side Navigli are all reachable by metro.

Around the stadium itself, Piazzale Axum has the handiest cafés and bars for before or after your visit.
