Recommended if... You've thought about visiting the impressive San Siro stadium to relive the great victories of Milan's football teams and learn a little more about their history.

The best advice when booking the standard tour is to use official channels. On the Hellotickets tours and tickets website, you can book this experience very easily for just £30.

Buying a ticket is very simple: just select the date, indicate the number of tickets and make the payment. These tours run every day, but there are exceptions.

On match days or in the case of concerts (a fairly common occurrence during the summer), opening hours are shorter or the tours do not run. With your digital tickets, you can go straight into the stadium on the day you selected when booking, without having to queue at the ticket office.

The tour of the A.C. Milan and F.C. Inter stadium begins at the San Siro Museum. This space brings together memorabilia and "relics" from both teams. It is not very common for two giants like Milan and Inter to share a stadium, although it is quite common in Italy. For this reason, the stadium museum does not focus on just one of the two, but rather on the achievements made within its walls. You'll find old jerseys and balls from the most memorable matches, old photographs, trophies and much more.

Despite its small size, the San Siro Museum attracts 25,000 tourists a month, not bad, right? Afterwards, you'll go down to the changing rooms and then onto the pitch. A unique sensation that will send shivers down your spine.

• Price: around £30, although children under 15 pay only £25

The San Siro stadium was built in 1926 at the request of Piero Pirelli, president of AC Milan. Designed by architect Ulisse Stacchini, it was built in the San Siro neighbourhood, hence its original name and how it is popularly known today.

In its early days, it was the home stadium of AC Milan and had a capacity of approximately 35,000 spectators.

• Acquisition and expansion: In 1935, the stadium was acquired by the Milan City Council, which encouraged its shared use with other teams. In 1955, a major expansion was carried out, adding a second tier of stands and increasing its capacity to over 80,000 seats.
• Name change: In 1980, its official name was changed to Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, in honour of one of the great legends of Italian football.

On your tour of the stadium and its museum, you will see one of the most curious souvenirs of San Siro: the Milan Inter United shirt. Back in the 1920s, the fascist regime had merged some teams in major cities to increase their area of influence and improve management. Milan had remained (almost) immune to this phenomenon, but the idea resurfaced in the 1980s. A few friendly matches were played, but after these encounters, the idea was definitively abandoned.

San Siro has hosted the 1990 World Cup, the 1980 European Championship and UEFA Champions League finals. But beyond football, it has been the venue for major concerts and cultural events.

When booking your San Siro tour, bear in mind that the legendary Milanese stadium is located in the neighbourhood of the same name. It is a green area well connected to the rest of the city, as it is home to two historic Italian football clubs, A.C. Milan and Inter, and the racecourse. To get there, you can choose from the following options:

• Metro: The nearest stop is San Siro Stadio on line 5 (lilac). If you are staying near a stop on line 1 and do not want to change, you can get off at Lotto. Be careful, line 1 splits into two. If you are staying near Piazza del Duomo or elsewhere in the old town, you should take the train bound for Rho Fieramilano. Once you arrive at Lotto, you will need to walk for about 15-20 minutes to reach the Giuseppe Meazza stadium.
• Bus: Line 49 connects the San Cristoforo railway station (in the south of the city) with the San Siro district. The closest stops to the stadium are Piazza Axum and San Siro Stadio M5.
• Tram: There are two lines connecting Milan with the stadium: 16 and 49. The first line stops at various points in the city centre (Corso di Porta Romana, Missori, Duomo, Cordusio, etc.) and you should get off at the last stop: San Siro Stadio M5. The second line is longer, but you will also need to get off at Piazza Axum or San Siro Stadio M5. For more information, please visit the official website of the local transport company.

Where can I park near the San Siro stadium?

If you have booked the San Siro tour and have rented a vehicle or have your own car, you can easily get there with your own transport. Below is a list of the most recommended options:

• Parcheggio ATM Cassiodoro, on Viale Cassiodoro 9. From £1.50 per hour.
• Parcheggio Lampugnano, on Via Natta. Up to 5 hours, the hourly rate is £1.50.
• San Siro Parking, a few metres from Piazza de Angeli. You can leave your car here and then take the metro for one stop.
• Parcheggio San Siro, in Piazzale Lorenzo Lotto.

Since you have a car, you can take the opportunity to discover the surroundings of Milan. A short distance from the city are historic towns and villages such as Vigevano, Grazzano Visconti, Pavia and Monza. Another highly recommended option is Lake Como, especially if you visit the Lombard city in spring.

Around the stadium, you'll find a few food trucks where you can grab a sandwich or some finger food. However, they tend to be more frequent on match days, so you may find only a few (or none) when you visit.

In any case, there's no need to head back to the city centre, as the San Siro neighbourhood has plenty of quality bars and restaurants. Read on to discover a short list of the best ones:

• Chiringuito San Siro, a must for any football fan. It is just a few metres from the Giuseppe Meazza stadium, under some leafy trees that provide a little relief if you are visiting the city in summer. You can enjoy an aperitif while watching one of the most legendary stadiums in the world (Piazzale dello Sport) up close.
• Old Tenconi, a historic Milanese pub. It has been serving hot food and beer since 1970 and has excellent reviews on TripAdvisor. It is the ideal place to watch football matches and other major sporting events (Via Federico Tesio 15).
• America Graffiti, a burger joint that gives a nod to 1950s America. Make the most of your visit to the Giuseppe Meazza stadium to enjoy some juicy pork ribs (Via Achille 4).
• Osteria Ippodromo, a restaurant specialising in Sardinian cuisine. It is an informal establishment with a varied menu featuring pasta dishes with seafood and grilled fish and meat (Via Novara 127).

If you like football, San Siro is undoubtedly one of the essential things to see and do in Milan. With 75,817 seats, it is the largest stadium in Italy and its pitch has hosted some of the greatest champions of the game. Footballers of the calibre of Ronaldo, Christian Vieri, Andriy Shevchenko, Javier Zanetti and Paolo Maldini have played on its pitch.

It has hosted international competitions such as the Champions League, as well as two World Cups, a European Championship and the finals of other trophies. The Giuseppe Meazza was renovated before 2016; that year, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid fought for the "Orejona" in the Milanese meadow.

It is also of architectural interest. When it was inaugurated on 19 September 1926, it was completely different from the stadium we know today. Over the years, it has been transformed, with the most impressive renovation taking place for the 1990 World Cup. In the late 1980s, San Siro gained its iconic cylindrical towers with spiral ramps, a full roof and the iconic red lattice structure.
