San Siro stadium (Giuseppe Meazza) is one of the most popular destinations for anyone planning a weekend in Milan around a football match or a concert. Here is how to get around and what to consider for a smooth stay.
San Siro is in the north-west of Milan, not far from the CityLife neighbourhood. It is linked to the rest of the city by metro M5 (lilac), with San Siro Stadio and San Siro Ippodromo stops, and by M1 (red) at Lotto, from where you continue on foot or by surface transport on event days.
On stadium event days, traffic around San Siro increases significantly and some roads are closed. The metro generally remains the most predictable option in terms of timing. Guests arriving by taxi or private car should allow more time than usual, especially when leaving at the end of the event.
Many visitors prefer a hotel not too close to the stadium, to avoid match-day traffic and crowds, but still reachable in a few minutes. The Corso Sempione area, where Admiral Hotel is located, is a frequent choice: good links to the stadium and, in addition, a good selection of venues for the evening before or after the event. On that page you will find full details on distances and connections from San Siro to Admiral.
A San Siro weekend can easily be combined with a visit to CityLife, a short walk from Admiral, or an evening among the venues of Corso Sempione and Via Piero della Francesca. Guests staying longer nights can also reach the historic centre easily on metro M5 and the lines it connects with.
