Where to park at San Siro: complete guide for events and matches

The P1 parking lot is located in the immediate vicinity of Piazzale Lotto, one of the most convenient areas for those arriving from Milan city or using the subway (M1 Lotto – M5 Lotto). It is particularly suitable for those who need to access the entrances located in the Lotto–Montevideo area.

• Distance from entrances: approximately 8–12 minutes on foot, varying according to the sector.
• Opening hours: generally open 3–4 hours before the event and until the complete outflow of the public.
• Indicative rates: typically with a dedicated event fee; official websites often report a range between €20 and €30 on match or concert days. Higher attendance events may require an upward adjustment.

P2 is located in the Ippodromo del Galoppo area, a spacious zone ideal for large crowds and is one of the most used parking lots due to its capacity and ease of access.

• Distance from entrances: approximately 10-15 minutes on foot, with a direct route along Via Tesio or Via dei Rospigliosi.
• Opening hours: early opening on high-attendance days, generally at least 4 hours before the event. • Indicative rates: the typical rate for events ranges between €25 and €35, varying based on availability, arrival time, and event type (match, concert, special event).

The P3 is the area closest to the stadium, located right next to the Meazza perimeter. It's often the most sought-after choice, especially for those who want the closest possible pedestrian access.

• Distance from entrances: 3–6 minutes walking, depending on the sector.
• Hours: opening times adjusted to the official event schedule; it's often among the first areas to fill up.
• Rates: the most common price range for events and matches is between €30 and €40, with possible increases for international concerts or high-demand matches, due to the greater convenience of access.

For international concerts and high-demand matches, extraordinary areas or temporary parking lots are also activated, often located in the wider areas of the Hippodrome and surrounding areas.

• Special openings: these parking lots open in advance, sometimes even 5-6 hours before the event.
• Pedestrian access: they are usually served by dedicated paths that allow you to reach the entrances safely.
• Rates: specifically defined for the event; they vary according to type and operator.
• Important note: availability may vary from event to event, so it is always advisable to check updated information through the official channels of the organizers or the stadium.

The areas around Lotto and Segesta offer an ideal combination of parking and public transportation. Thanks to the presence of M1 Lotto and M5 Segesta/Lotto stations, reaching San Siro takes just a few minutes by metro or a short walk.

Why choose this area?

• It's perfect for those arriving from other areas of Milan with smoother routes compared to the stadium perimeter.
• It offers numerous parking spots on side streets and in structured parking facilities.
• It allows for a quick exit after major events, avoiding the immediate traffic jams around the Meazza stadium.

Those arriving from highways and ring roads often find Lampugnano to be the most convenient and practical solution. The presence of the large parking area near the M1 Lampugnano metro station allows you to leave your car in a well-organized area and continue by subway to the stadium.

This is the best option when:

• You arrive from A4, A8, A9, A50 or A52 and don't want to enter city traffic.
• You prefer combining car + metro, reducing the risk of pre-event queues.
• You're looking for an economical solution compared to parking areas closer to the stadium.

Approximate distances:

• By metro: less than 10–12 minutes to San Siro Stadio or San Siro Ippodromo stops.

• If you arrive in the late afternoon and want a guaranteed spot without risking already saturated areas.
• If you prefer to leave your car in a covered area, especially in case of bad weather or for events that end late at night.
• If you want to minimize walking distance and use short stretches of metro or tram to reach the stadium.

• Private garages often operate during extended hours, such as 06:00–01:00, with some available 24/7.
• The distance from the stadium ranges from 1 to 2.5 km, easily accessible via M1, M5, tram 16 or dedicated buses.
• Travel times to reach the San Siro gates generally range between 5 and 20 minutes, depending on the chosen area.

Access is simply achieved by approaching the barrier of the affiliated parking lot with your car:

• The system recognizes your Telepass device or the associated license plate.
• The barrier opens automatically.
• There's no need to collect a ticket or make payments on site.

With Telepass, you eliminate the most inconvenient part of urban parking: waiting in line at payment machines. The payment is automatically recorded and charged, with the amount visible in your personal area. This makes returning after a concert or a match much smoother.

The M1 (red) line is one of the main arteries to reach San Siro. The most strategic stops for Park&Ride are Lampugnano and Molino Dorino, both equipped with large parking areas.

Lampugnano:

• Ideal for those coming from highways and northwestern ring roads.
• Very spacious parking directly connected to the M1.
• Allows you to reach the stadium area in about 10-12 minutes by metro, with an easy transfer to M5 at Lotto.

Molino Dorino:

• Recommended for those arriving from the A4 or from the Rho/Pero area.
• Easy entry and exit, especially during pre-event peak hours.
• Quick connection to Lotto station, from where you can continue with M5.

The M5 (purple) line is the most convenient way to get directly to San Siro, as it takes you just steps away from the stadium entrances.

San Siro Stadio:

• The closest stop to the facility.
• Short and well-marked pedestrian route.
• Perfect for those who want to minimize walking distance.

San Siro Ippodromo:

• Excellent alternative for those accessing from sectors adjacent to Via Tesio and the Hippodrome area.
• Less crowded than San Siro Stadio, especially during peak times.

The Park&Ride option is particularly recommended when:

• You're arriving from outside Milan and don't want to enter the city traffic.
• The event has high attendance, with a risk of official parking areas being full.
• You want to leave quickly after the game/concert without getting stuck in traffic around the stadium.
• You're looking for an economical option, because peripheral parking areas often offer lower rates.

The ideal time depends on the expected attendance, but in general:

• Evening matches (Serie A / Champions): arrive at least 1h30 / 2h before.
• Concerts: for international events that attract tens of thousands of people, it's advisable to reach the area 2h30 / 3h before.
• Afternoon or Sunday events: even the hour before the start can experience heavy traffic, better to consider a margin of at least 1h45.

Arriving very late often results in: full parking lots, mandatory detours, longer walking routes and longer waiting times at the entrance.

On days of high attendance, the Local Police intervenes with temporary closures and direction changes. In general, it is preferable to avoid:

• Via Piccolomini and Via Harar, which are often very congested.
• Via Tesio, which becomes an area of heavy pedestrian traffic.
• Piazzale Angelo Moratti, where traffic may be slowed down for security reasons.
• Via Patroclo, which during some events is closed or limited to authorized transit.

It's better to aim for wider and more fluid access points, such as the Lotto, Segesta, and Ippodromo areas, and less crowded side streets.
