In short
- The stadium and racecourses at San Siro are served by the lilac M5 (San Siro Stadio and San Siro Ippodromo stops) or the M1 at Lotto.
- You don't need to sleep right next to the stadium: what matters is being on a direct line, so you don't depend on taxis afterwards.
- From Portello, on the M5, San Siro is about 20 minutes door to door, and you're back in a few stops at night.
A concert or a match at San Siro is often the reason for the whole trip. Where you stay decides how the night ends: a relaxed ride home on the metro or an hour waiting for a taxi. Here’s how to choose.
San Siro isn’t just one place
“San Siro” covers three nearby but different venues:
- San Siro Stadium (Giuseppe Meazza): Inter and AC Milan matches and the big summer concerts;
- Ippodromo SNAI San Siro: open-air concerts, including I-Days;
- Ippodromo La Maura: more summer concerts, a little further north-west.
All three are reached on the lilac M5, at the San Siro Stadio and San Siro Ippodromo stops. Alternatively there’s the red M1 at Lotto, about a 15-minute walk from the stadium.
Next to the stadium or on a direct line?
There are few hotels on the stadium square, they’re expensive on concert dates, and outside events the area is a quiet residential one with few bars.
The better option is a neighbourhood on the M5 or M1, a few stops away: you get there without stress, and afterwards you hop on the metro and are home in a quarter of an hour, while drivers are still queuing.
Getting out of the stadium: practical tips
- Don’t rush to the nearest stop: after a concert San Siro Stadio station is packed. Walking 15 minutes to Lotto is often faster.
- Check ATM’s notices for your date: on big event nights lines are reinforced and hours extended.
- Don’t drive to the stadium: closed roads, full car parks and event prices.
- Sort your ticket in advance: just tap a contactless card at the gates and skip the machine queues.
