Travel Tips for Shakhtar Donetsk Supporters Staying in Milano
Arriving from Malpensa Airport
The Malpensa Express connects Malpensa with Milano Cadorna and Milano Centrale. From Cadorna, take M1 towards Lotto, then M5 towards San Siro Stadio.
Arriving from Bergamo Airport (Orio al Serio)
Airport coaches connect Bergamo Airport with Milano Centrale. From Centrale, take M2 to Garibaldi and M5 towards San Siro Stadio.
Arriving from Linate Airport
Take M4 directly to Vetra for our store. To reach San Siro, change at San Babila to M1 and at Lotto to M5.
Travelling from Ukraine or elsewhere in Europe
Ukraine's airspace remains closed to civilian flights. Supporters departing Ukraine may need to travel overland to an operating airport in a neighbouring country. Check current border, travel-document and entry requirements for your own nationality and circumstances before booking.
Metro tickets and contactless
ATM's standard Mi1–Mi3 ticket costs €2.20 for 90 minutes. You can tap a supported bank card, phone or watch on ATM services; use the same card or device to enter and exit the Metro. The ATM app provides current service information.
San Siro and the journey home
Check your ticketed away approach before travelling. ATM warns that Segesta and San Siro Ippodromo M5 close around full-time; San Siro Stadio and Lotto are the usual alternatives. Queues and police crowd controls can delay the return journey. Check for any late-night service extension before the match.
Taxi apps
Licensed taxis can be booked through Freenow. Road closures and post-match traffic may delay pickups near San Siro.
Matchday Tips - San Siro
