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

Parking at San Siro: how to navigate between stadium, traffic, and access points

The San Siro stadium is divided into sectors identified by tiers (First, Second, and Third) and numbered entrances that face the different perimeter areas of the stadium.

Parking at San Siro therefore requires a minimum of planning, especially on days when the stadium hosts Serie A matches, Champions League games, or major concerts. The area of Piazzale Angelo Moratti, where the Meazza is located, is characterized by large spaces but also by traffic patterns that change significantly based on expected attendance.

Knowing how to navigate between access points, traffic directions, and available parking allows you to save time and reduce the stress of arriving at the stadium.

Discover now how and where to park at San Siro with comfort and safety.

The official parking areas of San Siro

Official parking areas are centrally managed during sporting and musical events, with opening times that vary according to expected attendance. The areas are marked and defined, designed to ensure an orderly flow of entry and exit.

P1 Parking - Piazzale Lotto

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 Parking - Hippodrome

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).

Parking P3 – San Siro Stadium

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.

Parking dedicated to major events

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.

Parking near the stadium: comfortable and strategic alternatives

It's not always necessary to park in the official stadium areas: those who prefer to avoid traffic immediately adjacent to the Meazza can choose solutions in the surrounding areas, often more fluid and equally convenient for reaching San Siro on foot or by metro. These alternatives are particularly useful on days with high attendance or when you want a quicker exit after the event ends.

Parking in the Lotto – Segesta area

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.

Parking in the Lampugnano area (ideal for those arriving from outside Milan)

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.

Parking structures and private garages

The structured parking facilities located in neighborhoods near the stadium, such as QT8, Amendola, Lotto, and Bande Nere, represent a valid alternative for those seeking coverage, extended hours and greater peace of mind for their vehicle.

Structured parking facilities and private garages

  • 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.

Time slots and distances

  • 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.

Telepass partner parking: how it works and why it's convenient

The Telepass affiliated parking facilities represent one of the most practical and quick solutions to reach San Siro without stress. They offer the possibility to access the structures automatically, without tickets or queues, and to pay only at the end of your stay through direct debit on your account.

Among the available options you can find:

  • Gambara Parking, located in via Pasquale Fornari, a convenient choice for those arriving from the west who prefer to continue to the stadium using the M1 metro line, avoiding traffic in the more congested areas around San Siro.
  • Sempione Parking, in via Corleone, situated in a well-connected area and useful for leaving your car and moving toward San Siro by public transport or with short journeys.
  • Park Autobus Lampugnano, in via Giulio Natta: a structure designed for managing coaches during major events, not accessible to private cars.

How Telepass entry works

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.

Parking at San Siro with public transport + car: Park&Ride solutions

For many fans and spectators, the car + subway combination represents the most rational choice to reach San Siro. The Park&Ride system allows you to leave your car in spacious, orderly, and well-served parking lots, avoiding the heavy traffic near the stadium and significantly reducing travel time.

Metro M1: Lampugnano and Molino Dorino

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.

Metro M5: San Siro Stadium and San Siro Hippodrome

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.

When is it convenient to leave your car away from the stadium?

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.

Practical comparison between available options: time and convenience

  • Parking near the stadium: more convenient on foot but often more expensive and slower to exit.
  • Park&Ride + metro: slightly longer on the way there, but much faster and smoother on the return, with more predictable return times.

Neighborhood garage + public transport: optimal for those who want a guaranteed spot and easy exit flow.

Getting to San Siro by car: all useful tips

Reaching San Siro by car is not complicated, but on event days it's essential to know some precautions to avoid waits and unexpected issues. Temporary rules, closed roads, and reserved areas can modify the normal traffic flow, making an arrival strategy useful.

When to arrive on event days

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.

Roads to avoid due to traffic or closures

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.

Checklist to quickly exit the stadium after a concert or a match

The exit is the most critical moment, especially when attendance exceeds 50-60,000 spectators. Some strategies significantly reduce waiting times:

  1. Park in the direction of your return route Choosing a parking spot that faces toward home allows you to avoid the most congested ring near the stadium.
  2. Avoid immediate departure Waiting 10-15 minutes after the final whistle or the end of the concert can make a big difference in exit times.
  3. Use alternative routes Neighborhoods like QT8, Segesta, Monte Rosa, or Lotto offer more direct and less congested exit routes compared to the perimeter of Meazza.
  4. Prefer Telepass-affiliated parking lots Automatic exit eliminates queues at payment booths and speeds up your return, especially in multi-story or structured parking facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you want to be close to the stadium, the official parking lots P1 (Piazzale Lotto), P2 (Ippodromo) and P3 (San Siro Stadio) are the most convenient solutions. Alternatively, you can choose nearby areas, such as Lotto–Segesta or neighborhoods served by metro and tram, to avoid traffic immediately around the Meazza.

Rates vary depending on the event and the chosen parking lot. Indicatively, P1 ranges between 20 € and 30 €, P2 between 25 € and 35 €, while P3 (closest to the stadium) can reach 30–40 €. For major events, extraordinary parking areas may be activated with similar price ranges. These figures are indicative and may vary depending on the organizer.

Yes. You can park in the Lotto–Segesta areas, at Lampugnano (ideal for those arriving from outside Milan) or in private garages in nearby neighborhoods, such as QT8, Amendola, Lotto and Bande Nere. In many cases, you just need to combine a short metro or tram ride to comfortably reach San Siro.

The Park&Ride is the best choice if you're coming from outside the city, if the event is very crowded, or if you want to avoid traffic in the stadium area. You can leave your car in parking lots served by M1 (Lampugnano, Molino Dorino) or M5, and reach San Siro in 10–15 minutes by metro.

For evening matches it is advisable to arrive at least 1h30–2h before kick-off. For major concerts, it's better to arrive 2h30–3h early. Arriving late increases the risk of finding full parking lots, closed roads and longer pedestrian routes.
