This is my second time visiting the last supper and it still blows me away like seeing it the first time. We booked to go Milan two weeks before we flew. It came as a surprise to me that getting tickets to see the Last Supper are like gold dust!! I was almost convinced the only way to see the Last Supper was to join a tour for an exorbitant fee but I'm so glad I persevered on the website - checking everyday really does help - I was able to secure two tickets on the date I wanted 5 days before my trip. So don't give up!

My wife and I planned our wedding anniversary trip this past summer to go through Milan on our itinerary. On our previous trip to Milan I was not able to get entry tickets to Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper because I waited too late to reserve tickets. This time I booked tickets the first day they became available which was 90 days before the date of the tour. You only get 15 minutes to view the masterpiece and the group is limited to 35 people. It was well worth it. It was a spiritual experience to see it. I took a great number of photos to save all aspects of age fresco for later reflection. This was one of the highlights of our trip and is not to be missed if you are ever in Milan. Just be sure to prepare for it by reserving your tickets.

This was absolutely stunning. We almost didn’t get tickets and I had booked (with free cancellation) ones that were over inflated with a tour company but I also kept checking the website and others were released. We were able to do it on our one night back in Milan before we flew home which was great! We were able to take photos which was good too. I was worried after seeing the Giotto fresco in Padua that this wouldn’t be as impressive but I was wrong.

Whatever you do in Milan, please do not miss visiting this breathtaking masterpiece! Book as sooner as possible tickets , i did the mistake to try finding tickets 1 week before traveling and i struggled. I found tickets eventually through get your guide, it was expensive but totally worth it!

I managed to secure tickets after watching the proper website for 2 weeks and so glad I did. We went Easter Saturday which made it moving. It’s very impressive. Group of 25 allowed in for 15 mins. You are then ushered out when this time is up. No videos allowed to be taken only photos and no flash. Lots of people got turned away.

The mural of The Last Supper (Il Cenacolo) by Leonardo da Vinci, as well as the painting by Giovanni Donato Montorlano - Crucifixion, were available for viewing in the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. Whether or not you are religious or a believer, there should be ample reason to appreciate these superb works of art. If you cannot relate in some way, do not go and afterwards berate the experience! Be advised that advance reservations really are a must. Our tickets were personalized (by full name) and assigned a timed entry and departure. Our small group was allowed to enter the sealed room and had to depart when directed. You should live in the moment, take your pictures, and do not dally, linger or dwadle. We personally are not at all religious but appreciated the impact which The Last Supper painting, da Vinci and just the work's existence has had on our world...so let it be.

I was able to get a last minute ticket only for me. Luckily my wife saw before so not getting a ticket for her was not that big of an issue (even though it would have been great for her). Our guide (Maurizio) was just amazing! He knew his Leonardo and he explained various elements of the painting in detail, including how to view it. He also took some time to explain the life of Leonardo and compared his style with Michelangelo and explained the details of the adjoining church. Absolute must see with a guide!

I admit, it took determination to figure out how to book our tickets but man oh man, it was worth it! Seeing “The Last Supper” was emotionally overwhelming. This was an incredible experience neither my husband or I will ever forget. The church, too, is stunning. Simple. Stunningly beautiful.

I luckily happened to check the official website in March and saw that tickets were going on sale in a few days for slots in June, when we were planning to be in Milan. I got up before 4:00am PDT because tickets were being made available for purchase online at noon Milan-time. I was able to get 4 tickets for my family, and it was totally worth it. Our guide, Paola, was amazing. She was so knowledgable and obviously passionate about the fresco and made the whole story of its creation and history really come alive. My family are not particularly interested in art, but you could tell that she held everyone's attention.

First, book your tickets the moment you know you're going to Milan. There are a variety of ways to get tickets; the cheaper tickets go first. Closer to time if you are able to get tickets they will be very expensive. We ended up booking through "Get Your Guide"; our guide was Marcella and she was excellent. As other reviewers have mentioned, you'll only have about 15 minutes in with the "Last Supper". The rest of the time you're getting a tour of the church and/or general background information. You will be able to take non-flash photos. No videos. And know that they will check ID to be sure that the name on the ticket is the same as the name on the ID! In our group there was a woman who had been given her ticket by someone who decided not to go. They wouldn't let her use the ticket unless she was able to almost instantly get the person named on the ticket to almost instantly send them an email under his name, naming her as being allowed to use her ticket. This literally had to be done in like three minutes or less. Personally I was underwhelmed with the Last Supper but that wasn't the fault of the tour guide or anything like that. It's just that, well, I found it underwhelming. I'm glad I went so that I can say I've been but frankly it I had to choose between The Last Supper and the Cathedral or the Monumental Cemetery I would choose one of those first. Don't underestimate the Monumental Cemetery.
