San Siro Stadium (Stadio San Siro)

Piazzale Angelo Moratti, Milan, ITA

Milan hosts two top-division soccer (football) teams at San Siro Stadium, the largest in Italy. Also known as Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, the stadium was built in 1925 for the AC Milan team, and in 1947, the rival FC Internazionale team, known as Inter, also moved in. Today, up to 80,000 fans of Milanese football fill the stadium to watch live games.

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.

  • An official store sells team scarves and other souvenirs for AC Milan and Inter fans.
