The San Siro Hippodrome: Not Just Racing
The Ippodromo SNAI San Siro (officially "Ippodromo del Galoppo") is much more than a racecourse. With its 160,000 m² of lawns and magnificent Art Nouveau grandstand, it has become one of Milan's top event venues:
- 🎵 I-Days Milano — Italy's biggest rock/pop festival, every June
- 🐴 Horse racing — season from March to November, featuring the Gran Premio di Milano
- 🎶 Concerts — international artists (70,000+ capacity venue)
- 🎪 Festivals — food festivals, markets, cultural events
And we are 5 minutes away on foot. Literally.

Racing at the Hippodrome: A Tradition Since 1920

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the apartment from Ippodromo San Siro?
About 400 metres from the main entrance — a 5-minute walk. It's the closest possible location for a private accommodation.
How do I get back to the apartment after a concert?
On foot! It's only 5 minutes. While thousands of people crowd the metro or wait for taxis, you walk home at your own pace. That's the number one advantage of our location.
Is there noise during concerts and I-Days?
During I-Days and major concerts (June-July) you can hear the music from the apartment — but concerts end by 11:00 PM-midnight due to local regulations. For many guests it's actually a plus: you can enjoy the concert from the balcony too!
Is there parking for race days?
Yes, the area around the Hippodrome has plenty of parking (free on regular days). During I-Days the car parks become paid and fill up quickly — in that case it's better to use the metro.
