The Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics are a unique opportunity to visit Milan and experience the city at its most international. If you’re planning a trip to attend the events, staying in a comfortable and well-connected apartment is the ideal solution to enjoy every day without stress. This article will help you choose where to stay in Milan for the Olympics, focusing on the most strategic vacation rentals.
Milan city center: comfort and perfect connections
Staying in Milan’s city center is a strategic choice for those who want to fully experience the Olympic spirit and move easily between various points of interest. Neighborhoods like Brera, Duomo, and Porta Venezia offer the perfect mix of urban charm, cultural attractions, and practicality.
The apartments available in the city center combine elegance and functionality: fully equipped kitchens, spacious living areas, and a location just minutes from major metro lines. For families or groups of friends, these options offer more freedom than a hotel, including the comfort of relaxing at home after a day at the events.
Close to Olympic venues and event locations
During Milano-Cortina 2026, Milan will host several disciplines, particularly indoor sports, in venues like the Allianz Cloud and the Forum di Assago. Choosing an apartment in areas well connected to these venues — such as Fiera Milano City, San Siro, Lorenteggio or Navigli — makes it easy to reach the sporting events while enjoying vibrant and authentic neighborhoods.
Milan’s public transport system is extensive and allows easy navigation around the city. Apartments located along the metro lines (especially the red and purple lines) ensure quick access to Olympic venues, even for those arriving late or leaving very early.
Apartments for families, couples, and small groups
Traveling for the Olympics often means coming with family or friends. The apartments offered by Milan Retreats provide spacious layouts, multiple bedrooms, and comfortable living areas that allow you to share time without sacrificing privacy. The ability to cook at home is a major advantage, especially for longer stays or travelers with dietary needs.
For couples, there are smaller yet equally central options with views over some of Milan’s most charming corners, all with modern comfort. Each apartment is tastefully furnished and designed for a superior stay experience.
Short or extended stays: flexibility of vacation apartments
One of the main advantages of choosing an apartment is flexibility. Whether you’re planning a weekend to attend a specific event or a longer stay to follow the Olympic Games day by day, Milan Retreats offers solutions to suit every need.
Those coming to Milan for work related to the event, such as organization or media coverage, can rely on business-friendly apartments with fast Wi-Fi, workspaces, and quiet environments ideal for productivity between appointments.
Extra services and flexible check-in for long-distance travelers
During a major event like the Olympics, having access to reliable services is essential. Milan Retreats apartments offer 24/7 self check-in systems, ideal for those arriving in the city late at night or early in the morning. This allows full independence during your stay, supported by a dedicated team available when needed.
You can also request extra cleaning services, airport transfers, or baby equipment such as cribs and high chairs. Every detail is designed to make your stay practical, comfortable, and stress-free.
Enjoying Milan beyond the Olympic Games
In addition to the sporting events, Milan during the Olympics will be buzzing with cultural happenings, installations, concerts, pop-up stores, and nightlife. Staying in an apartment gives you the chance to explore all the city has to offer: museums, exhibitions, restaurants, shopping, and vibrant neighborhoods.
Areas like Duomo, Montenapoleone, and Brera will be especially lively, but neighborhoods like Isola, Navigli, and Porta Romana offer an authentic atmosphere with places loved by locals. Choosing an apartment in these areas lets you walk or use public transport with ease — no need for taxis or rental cars.
