In this guide
💡 The Short Version: You cannot buy a Last Supper ticket at the door. A ticket is €15 (€2 for ages 18 to 25, free under 18), carries your name, and is for a 15-minute slot with at most 40 people. Be at the ticket office 30 minutes before with an ID, or the ticket is lost, and the date and time cannot be changed or refunded. Tickets are released in batches: the June sale covers September to December 2026 and ends on 31 December, and no later release is announced. More tickets go online every Wednesday at 12:00 for the following week. The first Sunday of the month is free, with tickets online the Wednesday before at 12:00. The museum’s own guide is €10 extra, so a guided visit is €25. Closed Mondays. Or book a tour: the guided tour from Ways Toursad is from €59 and the 1-hour tour with GT Toursad from €79 (GetYourGuide).
Tickets and prices
Prices and rules are the museum’s, from its info page and its ticket shop, lastsupper.shop. The museum has been run by the Pinacoteca di Brera since 3 December 2024. Buy only from the museum’s own shop: searches for the Last Supper return several sites with the painting’s name in the web address that are not the museum.

Where to buy
GetYourGuide’s prices are its lowest “from” prices. Every bundle includes the €15 entry ticket and a guide.
| What | The museum | GetYourGuide | Buy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry ticket only | €15 | Not sold | The museum |
| Entry ticket with the museum’s English tour | €25 | Not sold | The museum |
| 1-hour guided tour (Ways Tours) | €25 with the museum’s tour | From €59 | The museum if it has a slot; the tour if it has not |
| 1-hour guided tour (GT Tours) | €25 | From €79 | The museum, unless the date is sold out |
| 3-hour walking tour with the visit (Wander Italy) | €15 plus the walk | From €104 | The walk, if you want the walk |
A “skip the line” ticket buys nothing here
The slot is fixed, the group is capped at 40 and the 30-minute arrival rule is the same for everyone, so no ticket shortens the visit or the queue at the door. What a bundle gets you is a slot on a date the museum’s own channel has sold out, at two to six times the price, and a guide. The museum does not say which tour operators hold their own allocation.
Tours worth paying for
The bundles are about the date, then the guide. Prices are GetYourGuide’s lowest “from” prices, per person.

What to see
Leonardo painted the Last Supper on the end wall of the refectory of the Dominican convent beside Santa Maria delle Grazie. The museum limits air and visitors to protect it, which is why entry is in small groups. The visit is 15 minutes in the refectory, and it holds more than the one wall.

- The Last Supper. The mural covers the end wall of the refectory. The museum’s own website shows it in high definition, with details you cannot see from the floor.
- The Crucifixion. The wall opposite holds Donato Montorfano’s Crucifixion, and the museum publishes a description of it on its info page.
- Santa Maria delle Grazie. The basilica next door is a separate visit and the museum ticket does not cover it. It is open to tourists Monday to Saturday 9:00 to 12:20 and 15:00 to 17:50, and Sunday 15:00 to 17:50. Guided visits of the basilica, the cloister and Bramante’s Sacristy run on the first and third Saturday of the month, 10:00 to 12:00 and 15:00 to 17:30, for a donation of €5 or more.

The order that works: collect the ticket 30 minutes ahead, do the 15 minutes, then spend the time you saved on the basilica. What to skip: nothing, because the visit is short. Leonardo da Vinci in Milan lists the other places that hold his work, and the Sforza Castle is the nearest other ticketed sight.
Hours, rules and getting there
| Day | Museum | Ticket office |
|---|---|---|
| Tuesday to Sunday | 8:15 to 19:00, last admission 18:45 | 8:00 to 18:45 |
| Monday | Closed | Closed |
| 1 January and 25 December | Closed | Closed |
- Getting there: Piazza di Santa Maria delle Grazie 2. Metro M1 to Conciliazione, or M1 or M2 to Cadorna; tram 16 stops at Santa Maria delle Grazie, and buses 50 and 169 stop on Via Boccaccio. The museum sits in Area C and recommends public transport. Milan public transport has the fares.
- The ticket office is in Via Fratelli Ruffini, a few metres from the museum door. Taxis stop at Via Ruffini 1.
- Bags: no bulky bags or luggage. Timed lockers hold a bag for up to 60 minutes at the ticket office, while places last.
- No food or drink, and no re-entry once you are out.
- Closures: the museum has closed for staff meetings from 12:45 to 15:15 on listed days, and strikes can shut it. Its news page carries both.
- The one thing that ruins a visit: arriving less than 30 minutes before the slot, or without the ID, which loses the ticket.
What to book in Milan has the closed days for every sight. The Milan historic centre walk ends at Cadorna, 800 m from the Last Supper, and can be run in reverse from a booked slot. The Duomo is open on Mondays, when the Last Supper is shut, and the Ambrosiana holds Leonardo’s Portrait of a Musician. The Last Supper museum is run by the Pinacoteca di Brera. 3 days in Milan places the slot round the Monday closure. Milan walking tours compares the guided walks.

Common questions
Can I buy a Last Supper ticket at the door?
No. Booking is compulsory for everyone, even infants and holders of free tickets. Tickets carry the visitor's name, and the date and time cannot be changed or refunded.
How much is a Last Supper ticket?
€15 for visitors aged 25 and over and €2 for ages 18 to 25. Under-18s are free but must still be booked. The museum's official guided tour in English is €10 on top of the ticket, so a visit with a guide is €25.
When are Last Supper tickets released?
In batches every few months, at 12:00. The last three were on 17 December 2025, 24 March 2026 and 23 June 2026, and the June release covers September to December 2026. The museum has not announced the next one. Extra tickets go online every Wednesday at 12:00 for the following week.
How long is the Last Supper visit, and when must I arrive?
You have 15 minutes inside, in a group of at most 40 people. Be at the ticket office, next to the museum door, at least 30 minutes before your time with an identity document, or the ticket is lost.
Is the Last Supper free on the first Sunday of the month?
Yes, with a booking. Free tickets for the first Sunday are released online only, at 12:00 on the Wednesday before, five to a purchase, and the museum does not promise availability. The next first Sunday is 1 November 2026, with tickets on sale on Wednesday 28 October.
Is a guided tour from GetYourGuide worth it for the Last Supper?
Only to get a slot on a date the museum has sold out. The tours cost €59 to €143, against €15 for the ticket or €25 with the museum's guide, and they do not shorten the 15 minutes or the arrival rule.
Is the Last Supper open on Mondays?
No. The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday from 8:15 to 19:00, with the last admission at 18:45, and is closed on 1 January and 25 December.
