"A wonderful experience. It's worth seeing and listening to the guide. In our case, the female guide presented the history of the work in a very interesting way. The price is high, but I don't regret it."

Last Supper Tickets Milan
Leonardo's Last Supper is the hardest ticket in Milan: the museum sells timed 15-minute slots for €15, releases them in three-month blocks, and the peak-season dates go within hours. This page explains the official route plainly — release dates, the Wednesday-noon top-ups, the call centre — and, for the far more common case where every slot is gone, the guided tours that include the entry ticket. The most-booked one is below: a licensed guide, headsets and your ticket, 4.7 from 10,626 verified visitors.

How a Last Supper Visit Works
One square, one door with flags over it, a security check, a 15-minute room — and how the guided tour changes each step.
Piazza Santa Maria delle Grazie, 30 Minutes Early
Everything starts on the square in front of the red-brick church of Santa Maria delle Grazie (Piazza Santa Maria delle Grazie 2, metro Conciliazione or Cadorna). The museum's own rule is blunt: be at the ticket office 30 minutes before your slot or forfeit the ticket, and at the museum door 15 minutes before. Guided-tour groups meet on the same square — the most-booked tour meets in front of the ticket office — and the guide handles the check-in.
ID, Lockers, and the Airlock
Bring the ID that matches the name on the booking; online tickets cannot be renamed. Bags larger than a small handbag go into one of the museum's lockers (30 × 45 × 32 cm), then you wait in a filtered chamber that controls the humidity of the refectory. It is a UNESCO site since 1980 and the climate control is why groups are capped at 40 and visits at 15 minutes.
The 15 Minutes
The doors open and you have exactly fifteen minutes in the old Dominican refectory with Leonardo's mural on the end wall — painted 1495–1498 in tempera on dry plaster, which is why so little of the original survives and why the room is treated like an operating theatre. Alone, you look; with a guide on headsets, you are told where to look — the perspective lines meeting at Christ's head, the apostles in groups of three, the salt cellar, the reflection of the Crucifixion by Montorfano on the opposite wall.
Out Through the Church — Then Milan
The visit ends on the square. Step into the church itself (free) for Bramante's tribune, then it is a 20-minute walk to the Sforza Castle and 25 to the Duomo — which is why so many of the tours on this page bolt a city walk onto the ticket. The whole thing, ticket-only, is under an hour door to door; with a guided tour, allow one to three hours depending on what is bundled.

Three Ways In to the Last Supper
The official €15 slot, the guided visit with the ticket inside, and the city walk that ends at Leonardo's wall. Same fifteen minutes, same forty people — here is what each changes.

The Hardest Ticket in Milan — How the Official Sale Works, and What to Do When It Doesn't
The €15 slot and its three-month release cycle, the Wednesday top-ups and the call centre, the honest arithmetic of a guided tour with the ticket inside, and what fifteen minutes in the refectory is really like.
Leonardo’s Last Supper is not in a gallery you can wander into. It is a fresco-that-isn’t-a-fresco on the end wall of a Dominican refectory beside Santa Maria delle Grazie, so fragile that the museum admits 40 people at a time for 15 minutes, Tuesday to Sunday, 8:15 to 19:00, and every one of those places is a timed, named, prepaid ticket. That is why “Last Supper tickets” is a search with a problem attached, and this page is built around the problem: how the official sale works, why it is usually sold out, and what genuinely gets you in when it is.
The official ticket, plainly
The museum — the Museo del Cenacolo Vinciano, run by the Italian Ministry of Culture — sells its own tickets through Vivaticket for €15 (adults 25 and over), €2 for 18–25-year-olds, and free under 18. Reservations are compulsory for every ticket type. Tickets are released in three-month blocks: the September–December 2026 dates went on sale on Tuesday 23 June at 12:00, the May–August dates on 24 March, and so on. On top of that, every Wednesday at 12:00 (Italian time) a small extra allocation for the following week is released online only, five tickets maximum per order. There is also a call centre (+39 02 92800360) with a nine-ticket cap, and groups of ten or more book by email. Two rules bite people: you must be at the ticket office 30 minutes before your slot or forfeit it, and the name on an online ticket cannot be changed. The official booking guide walks through the whole sequence, release calendar included.
Why it is sold out
Because 40 × 15 minutes × a ten-and-three-quarter-hour day is a few thousand places a day for one of the most famous images on earth, and the block release means peak-season dates are bought within hours by people who set alarms. Shoulder-season dates (November to March) can linger for days; June to September rarely does. If you are reading this a month before a summer trip and the calendar is grey, you are not doing anything wrong — that is the normal state of the calendar. What still works is set out in Tickets sold out? What actually works: the Wednesday-noon refresh, cancellations, the call centre, and — the option most visitors end up taking — a guided tour that holds its own allocation.
The tours that include the ticket
Licensed Milan operators hold group reservations and sell them as guided visits with the entry ticket inside the price. On the booking platform the field looks like this:
- Da Vinci’s Last Supper Guided Tour — the most-booked one: entry ticket, licensed guide, headsets; meet in front of the ticket office. 4.7 from 10,626 verified visitors, from about $86.
- Guided walking tour + Last Supper with ticket — the ticket plus a walk through the Duomo square, La Scala, the Galleria and the Sforza Castle facades; 4.7 from 6,534, from about $115.
- Skip-the-line ticket + guided tour — the ticket, the refectory, the convent and the garden with a licensed English-speaking guide; 4.8 from 1,808, from about $98.
- The budget guided visit from about $68, the semi-private six-person version at about $132, and the Duomo and Sforza Castle combinations.
None of these is a “ticket” you print and use alone — you go in with the guide, in the guide’s slot, in a group of up to forty. That is the trade: €15 if you win the release, roughly $70–130 with a guide if you don’t, and the price guide does the arithmetic honestly, including when the tour is worth it even if you could get the €15 slot. The comparison table sets the three routes side by side.
What the fifteen minutes are like
Airlock, dim room, a rail, forty people, a mural fourteen feet high across the whole end wall — and then the doors. Fifteen minutes is longer than it sounds if you know where to look and shorter than it sounds if you don’t; that is the entire case for a guide, and what to expect covers the visit minute by minute, plus lockers, ID, accessibility and the free church next door. Is the guided tour worth it? gives the honest answer for four kinds of visitor.
Making a day of it
Santa Maria delle Grazie is a twenty-minute walk from the Sforza Castle and twenty-five from the Duomo, which is why the platform’s most-booked products bolt a city walk onto the ticket. Last Supper + Duomo / Sforza Castle explains which combination suits a half-day, a full day and a first visit.
Is it worth it?
Yes — it is the reason many people come to Milan at all, and the museum’s rules are what have kept the wall alive. Book the €15 slot the day the block opens if you can; if you can’t, book a guided tour with the ticket inside and stop refreshing the calendar.

What Visitors Say
4.7/5
from 10626 verified visitors
"Tour was great, the tour guide lady was wonderful! Easy entrance, we had a chance to enjoy the painting for 10-15min.Thank you!"
"The guide seemed irritated. He was sharp and on the verge of being rude to people who were not in our group and asked for help when we were outside. Otherwise, the car guide was knowledgeable, and we learned a lot. You should take a guided tour because you will learn a lot more than if you go on your own. Recommended."
"The guide is first class, but admission tickets at €100 per person are definitely too much."
"Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, our guide was very knowledgeable."
"Wonderful tour. Very knowledgeable and charismatic guide. Learned so much. Would highly recommend!"
"The Guide Marco is an excellent explainer,thank to him we knew many new things"
"Marco was amazing. Very knowledgeable And a good storyteller."

Last Supper Tickets — FAQ
The questions people actually type in before booking — answered in the first sentence, explained in the ones after.
Officially, through Vivaticket for the Museo del Cenacolo Vinciano — €15 for adults 25 and over, timed 15-minute slots, released in three-month blocks plus a small extra allocation every Wednesday at 12:00 for the following week; if those are gone, a guided tour with the entry ticket included is the way most visitors get in. Reservations are compulsory for every ticket type; there is also a call centre (+39 02 92800360, up to nine tickets) and an email route for groups of ten or more. On the platform, the most-booked guided tour with the ticket inside is from about $86 (4.7 from 10,626 visitors); the cheapest guided visit is from about $68. See the official booking guide on this site for the step-by-step.
Yes — the museum admits 40 people per 15-minute slot, so peak-season official tickets sell out within hours of each quarterly release, and by the time most people plan a trip the calendar is grey. Shoulder-season dates (November–March) can stay available for days or weeks; June to September rarely does. What still works: the Wednesday-noon online top-up for the following week (five tickets max), cancellations that reappear on the official calendar, the call centre, and guided tours whose operators hold their own reservations. The sold-out guide on this site is written for exactly this situation.
The day the three-month block opens if you want the €15 official ticket — blocks open roughly three months ahead (September–December 2026 went on sale on 23 June at 12:00) — and as soon as your dates are fixed for a guided tour, which for summer weekends can also mean weeks ahead. The museum announces each release date on its news page; set an alarm for 12:00 Italian time. If you missed the block, watch Wednesdays at noon for the following week's extra tickets and book a tour with the ticket included as the fallback rather than hoping.
Official tickets are €15 for adults 25 and over, €2 for 18–25-year-olds and free under 18; guided tours that include the entry ticket run from about $68 to $132 on the booking platform in 2026, with the most-booked one from about $86. The tour price buys the reservation the operator holds plus a licensed guide and headsets — not a different or longer visit; everyone gets the same 15 minutes. Combined products (Last Supper + Duomo, + Sforza Castle, + a city walk) are $115–126. Free-admission first Sundays exist but are booked online in the same scramble. The price guide on this site sets the arithmetic out.
Not at the door — every visit is a prepaid, named reservation — but last-minute is not hopeless: every Wednesday at 12:00 the museum releases extra online tickets for the following week, cancellations reappear on the official calendar, the call centre sometimes has what the website does not, and guided tours often have places for tomorrow when the official calendar is empty. If you are in Milan today with no ticket, check the platform for tours in the next 24–48 hours first — that is where the realistic availability is — then refresh the official calendar for a cancellation.
Yes, always — reservations are compulsory for all ticket types, including the free under-18 and first-Sunday admissions, and there is no walk-up queue. You must also be at the ticket office 30 minutes before your slot (or you forfeit it) and at the museum door 15 minutes before, with the ID that matches the name on the booking; online tickets cannot be renamed. On a guided tour the operator holds the reservation and the guide handles the check-in — you still bring ID and still arrive early.
Fifteen minutes in the room — that is fixed — plus about 45 minutes around it for arrival, security and lockers; a guided tour with the ticket adds an introduction and, if bundled, a city walk of one to three hours. The museum's slot is exactly 15 minutes for a maximum of 40 people, enforced by the humidity airlock, so nobody 'lingers'. Ticket-only, the whole visit is under an hour door to door; the free church of Santa Maria delle Grazie next door adds ten minutes and is worth it for Bramante's tribune.
Worth it for two reasons — it is the reliable way in when official tickets are gone, and fifteen minutes with someone telling you where to look is a different fifteen minutes; there is no formal dress code for the museum, but Santa Maria delle Grazie is a working church, so shoulders and knees covered if you go in. The most-booked guided tour (4.7 from 10,626) includes the ticket, a licensed guide and headsets; the semi-private version caps the group at six. If you already hold a €15 official ticket, a tour is not necessary — read up beforehand or take the museum's paid radio guide.
