The tram moves slowly, weaving through the winding streets like a never-ending movie, with the melody of ancient and modern intertwining.

The rooms are modern and spacious, with a large terrace offering a panoramic view of the city. The hotel not only provides a comfortable accommodation environment but also arranges unique experience activities. To let me fully experience the fashion atmosphere of Milan, the hotel specially arranged a private shopping experience, where I could choose my favorite items in La Rinascente, which is connected to the cathedral, with a wide range of international brands and a fragrance area that is mesmerizing. The scent of Maison Francis Kurkdjian is like magic, with each perfume being a carefully crafted work of art, exuding a unique fragrance and story. In addition, the hotel also arranged a Milanese ice cream and pizza making experience at Towns of Italy, where I followed the steps of a professional chef, from kneading the dough to spreading the sauce, and then sprinkling with rich cheese and fresh vegetables, to personally experience the fun of making.

A Night of Football Glory at the San SiroThe San Siro stadium in Milan is a legendary venue, and witnessing AC Milan take on Brugge there was an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was electric, with passionate fans creating a cacophony of noise that reverberated around the stands. The stadium itself is an imposing structure, a testament to the rich history of Italian football.The game itself was a thrilling encounter, with both teams displaying skill and determination. AC Milan ultimate
You can buy tickets on the spot. If you like football and AC and Inter Milan, you can buy authentic jerseys with the player numbers and names of your favorite teams printed on them. It's interesting. If you are not interested in football and don't know these two teams, it's meaningless.
Meazza Stadium, there are a few options in the city center but mine is just opposite. Poor me, I have seen how unreliable Italians are. If you like football, don’t miss it... (I was originally on a flight that day and would not have missed the game, but the plane changed boarding gates and there was no English notification. Fortunately, our faces were easy to recognize and the service staff found us. As a result, we were shocked to learn about the game before we boarded the plane)... So I suggest you don’t buy tickets for watching football on the same day, because we missed the first half, so sad.
Finally, I visited the home stadium of the team I have loved for 23 years, the Meazza Stadium. My heart was full of ups and downs, and I couldn't calm down for a long time... Take the subway M1 from Milan Central Station to Lotto Station, transfer to M5, get off at San Siro Stadio Station, and walk 200 meters to get there. 17€ to visit the museum + stadium. I saw that the other half of Milan (AC Milan) and my great country Milan share a stadium, which is also harmonious. There is too much history here, so I don't need to elaborate too much. As a fan of Milan (whether blue or red), I am sure you know it all.
🇮🇹【San Siro Stadium——A pilgrimage site for Milan fans‼ ️】 - 💎San Siro Stadium (San Siro), officially known as Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, is located in the San Siro district of Milan, Italy🇮🇹, 6 kilometers from the center of Milan. It is owned by the Milan Municipal Government and is a UEFA five-star football stadium. The stadium is the shared home of Serie A teams AC Milan and Inter Milan. The stadium was built on September 19, 1926. On March 3, 1980, in memory of Giuseppe Meazza, a famous Italian player who played for the two Milan giants in the 1930s and 1940s, the Milan Municipal Government officially named the stadium Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. - The stadium hosted six games during the 1990 World Cup in Italy and hosted the 1965, 1970, 2001, and 2016 Champions League finals. - San Siro Stadium is a familiar name to every football fan.

This stadium has witnessed the development of Milan football, and it has also accompanied the growth of generations of fans. I believe that football fans must want to experience the fanatical football atmosphere on the spot! - When we came, we happened to catch up with Inter Milan's home game against Atalanta, but unfortunately, there were no tickets for sale. It is recommended that fans who want to watch the game on site plan their itinerary and buy tickets in advance on the official website. It is very likely that you will not be able to buy tickets on the spot. If you really can't buy them, you can only go there early in the morning to try your luck, or buy scalper tickets. - 📍Practical information: 🔖Tickets: 1⃣Ticket purchase: official website or on-site ticket office; 2⃣Museum + stadium visit: 17 euros. - 🕣Opening hours: Museum 9:30-17:00 (11.26-3.29 of the following year) 9:30-18:00 (3.30-11.25) - 📍Address: Via Mauro Macchi, 4, 20124 Milano, Italy - 🚏How to get there: 🚇Metro Line 5 to San Siro Station. - ‼ ️Precautions 1⃣There are people outside the stadium asking you to sign, don't sign easily, they are people who force you to donate, you must understand clearly or ignore them directly; 2⃣There are many black people outside the stadium, don't take anything they hand over, pay attention to personal and property safety!
Sitting in the audience, I heard the "Ventura is fired" and the distant celebrations of Swedish fans. They bowed out. Buffon, Chiellini, De Rossi, Barzagli. The Italy that once made people crazy has lost its last bit of light.
Comparing Italy and Spain, Florence and Seville both have elegant and simple artistic temperament, while Milan and Barcelona are like the fashionable and atmospheric Gemini constellation, with a brisk pace and magnificent demeanor. Both cities also have long-lasting top clubs. As a fan of the two Milan giants in the 80s and 90s, San Siro Football Stadium is a must-visit, although I don’t recognize any of the current players. But it doesn’t matter, the museum collects our golden years with them, and looking at the jerseys, I think of the famous players - the Dutch Three Musketeers, the German Three Sets, Roberto Baggio, Paolo Maldini, Baresi, Ancelotti, Costacurta, Shevchenko, Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho and Inzaghi... and George Weah, who won the presidency of Liberia. The souvenir shop is half occupied by AC and Inter Milan, and AC is more popular.
