Join us in Milan and see one of the greatest derbies in football the local way: The Derby Della Madonnina.
The derby between Internazionale v AC Milan takes its name from the golden Virgin Mary statue which overlooks the Duomo in the city centre, giving the match a sense of deep religious resonance. As well as the statue, the stadium in which the games are played is an intrinsic factor in the enormity of the derby.
Twice a year in Serie A, the iconic San Siro stadium is transformed into a cathedral that stages the derby. It is the cathedral of European football and provides the perfect backdrop for one of football’s absolute bucket list events. Milan balances history and romance with a fast-paced business lifestyle.
There are a number of reasons to spend time here: The architecture. The food. The fashion. The beautiful lakes and mountains nearby.
But for football fans, only one reason matters – the fact that Milan is a football capital of epic proportions. Home to two of the biggest clubs on earth and one of the world’s most iconic stadiums.
This trip lets you explore Milan at the best possible time – the weekend where Inter and AC Milan meet in the Derby Della Madonnina.
Led by local fans, you’ll experience the huge buzz the derby generates across the city. And watch the incredible San Siro burst into life as its two tenants fight it out. One of the last times you can watch this derby in the iconic stadium.
A supreme city. Two massive clubs. And a stadium that gives you shivers every time you see it. This weekend in Milan is not to be missed.
