Santa Maria delle Grazie - Cenacolo Vinciano (Last Supper)
Beste Besuchszeit
Early morning weekday slots have the smallest groups and calmer light, so aim for the first available entry. Avoid weekends and late afternoon when tour buses increase crowding.
Budgettipps
Standard tickets are roughly €15-€20 and must be booked online in advance; free entry days are rare and most city tourist passes do not include the Last Supper, so book early to avoid costly resellers.
Empfohlen für
Art lovers, History buffs, Cultural travelers, Students of Renaissance art

Schnelle Fakten: A hush settles in the refectory as Leonardo's composition freezes the apostles' shock in a single, cinematic moment, while his experimental paint layers have left the image unusually fragile and a constant focus of conservation. Visits are tightly limited to short, timed groups to protect the mural after wartime damage and centuries of restoration, so seeing it feels like a rare, almost ceremonial experience.
Highlights: During the 1943 bombing a protective shell of sandbags and a concrete wall was hurriedly built around the refectory, and traces of smoke and patched plaster still whisper the near-disaster that spared Leonardo da Vinci's mural painted between 1495 and 1498, measuring roughly 460 by 880 centimeters. Today's visits are tightly controlled: you get only 15 minutes in the room with groups of about 25 people, so concentrate on the trick of perspective Leonardo used to place the vanishing point at Christ's head, a tiny optical secret that makes the scene snap into depth when you stand on the room's central line.
Insidertipps
- Arrive 15 minutes before your timed slot to pass security and get settled in the refectory.
- Large bags and backpacks are not allowed, carry only essentials because cloakroom space is limited.
- Photography is prohibited inside, so focus on the fresco and photograph the church exterior instead.
- Combine the visit with Santa Maria delle Grazie church and nearby sights, and consider an audio guide for richer context.
