Last Supper Tours in Milan, Italy

Leonardo da Vinci completed his painting of "The Last Supper," known in Italian as "Il Cenacolo," in 1498. It was painted directly onto the walls of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie on the outskirts of Milan. The work sustained much damage over the years, and since extensive restoration efforts, access to it is limited. It is essential to make advanced reservations to view the work, whether traveling independently or as part of a group. Visits to religious sites in Italy require modest dress, so proper clothing should be worn.
  1. Guided Tours at Santa Maria delle Grazie

    • Reservations to visit the painting are compulsory, and it can only be viewed during a 15-minute timed entry in a group of a maximum of 25 people. Tickets can be purchased online or by phone. A regular ticket includes only admission to the site, but guided tours of the painting are available in English and Italian and can be purchased for an additional fee. Please note that anyone entitled to free admission to the site still must make an advance reservation. Tickets can be collected at least 20 minutes prior to the reserved time by showing a copy of the receipt. The convent is open daily except Mondays, New Year's Day, May Day and Christmas Day.
