Only 30 people every 15 minutes. Tickets sell out months ahead. Here's exactly how to get in.
Plan your Italy trip →Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper (Cenacolo Vinciano) is in the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie church. The room is climate-controlled to preserve the fragile painting. Only 30 visitors enter every 15 minutes, for exactly 15 minutes. That's roughly 1,500 people per day. Demand is 10x that. Simple math: you need to plan ahead.
Official website: cenacolovinciano.org. Tickets release in batches — typically 2-3 months before the visit date. Price: €15 + €2 booking fee. Set a calendar reminder for when your date range opens and book immediately. Morning slots at 8:15-9am sell out fastest.
If official tickets are sold out: Check the site daily — cancellations appear randomly. Tuesday-Thursday mid-afternoon slots are the last to sell out.
Tour operators: GetYourGuide and Viator buy tickets in bulk and resell with a guided tour for €45-65. If official tickets are gone, this is your backup. The guide adds value — they explain what you're seeing during your precious 15 minutes.
You'll pass through three climate-controlled airlocks before entering the room. No food, no drinks, no flash photography. The painting is on the far wall — larger than you expect (4.6 x 8.8 meters). Your 15 minutes fly by. Stand in the center of the room for the full perspective Leonardo intended.
