A lot is happening behind the scenes to make this edition stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two host cities = double the Olympic buzz<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a quick, traveler-friendly breakdown of where to go and why you\u2019ll love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milan (Lombardy)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Sports:<\/strong> figure skating<\/a><\/strong>, short-track, ice hockey, speed skating<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milan is one of the main Olympic hubs. It\u2019s also home to the MEININGER Hotel Milano Garibaldi<\/a><\/strong> and MEININGER Hotel Milano Lambrate<\/a><\/strong>. Both are great options if you want to stay central, comfortable, and close to the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sports: <\/strong>Women\u2019s alpine skiing, bobsleigh, skeleton, luge, curling<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set in the heart of the Dolomites, Cortina is all about mountain charm. Planning a visit? Base yourself at the MEININGER Hotel Venezia Mestre<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s a smart, budget-friendly spot with easy connections to the Olympic buzz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buying tickets is simpler than it seems. Here\u2019s what to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
- Only available through the official Milano Cortina site<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n

Limits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

- 4 tickets for ceremonies<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 10 tickets per sport session<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Max 25 tickets total<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
High-demand events (figure skating, alpine skiing) will sell out quickly\u2014Cortina spectator caps make tickets even more competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\ude86 Getting around Italy during the Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Italy is easy to navigate, but distances between venues matter. Milan \u2194 Cortina = 400 km (about six hours by public transport). We recommend splitting your trip instead of commuting daily. Cortina restricts private vehicles \u2192 shuttle buses mandatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MEININGER tip:<\/strong> Choose one main base depending on your sports wishlist and add a second city for finals or ceremonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
