English WikipediaA short history
The stadium opened in 1926 at the initiative of Piero Pirelli, AC Milan president and heir to the tyre company, and took its name from the San Siro district in the west of the city. At first it belonged to Milan alone, but Inter has played here since 1947 — two great rivals sharing one pitch, the stands turning red-and-black or blue-and-black on derby day.
Officially it's the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, after the striker who played for both clubs and won two World Cups with Italy, but almost everyone still calls it San Siro. It has staged Champions League finals, World Cup and European Championship matches and, in February 2026, the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics.
Architecture
San Siro's signature is its eleven concrete cylinder towers ringing the outside, each wrapped in a spiral ramp that carries fans to the upper tiers. They were built for the 1990 World Cup, when a third tier and a roof were added; the roof rests on huge red girders atop the four corner towers. The steep stands sit close to the pitch, so even the top tier has a clear view, and the noise is famous — players call it "the La Scala of football".
Tour and museum
On non-match days the San Siro Museum & Tour usually takes you through the stands, both teams' dressing rooms, down the tunnel to pitchside and into the press room. The museum shows trophies, legendary shirts, boots, photos and waxworks of Milan and Inter stars.
Tickets are sold on the official tour website and at the gate. Tours are shortened or cancelled on match and concert days, so check the schedule. The clubs' shops are right by the stadium.

Is San Siro worth it?
Yes, for football fans: a match at San Siro is one of Europe's great sporting experiences, and the tour lets you walk the players' route to the pitch on any day. If you don't care for football, it's a bit far from the centre — about 30 minutes — but the spiral towers are worth a look from outside. For football-mad kids, the tour is often the highlight of the trip.
