The Last Supper at Santa Maria delle Grazie is capacity-restricted, and ticket lines can reach 30–60 minutes in peak months. Security adds a further 5–10 minutes. Demand is high because only 25–30 visitors are allowed inside every 15 minutes.
Skip-the-line guided tours let you bypass the regular ticketing queues and enter at your reserved time. You’ll still go through a mandatory security check (5–10 minutes), but entry is much faster compared to waiting in standard lines. With a skip-the-line guided tour, you’re typically inside within 5–15 minutes instead of waiting up to 30 minutes on busy days.
Being one of Milan’s most sought-after attractions, The Last Supper draws steady crowds year-round. Queues build up quickly, especially on weekends and in the late mornings (10am to 1pm). Visiting in the early morning or late afternoon generally means fewer crowds.
Access is through the side entrance of Santa Maria delle Grazie. With a skip-the-line guided tour, you can bypass the longest queues and enter in about 5–15 minutes.
Queues to see da Vinci’s masterpiece at Santa Maria delle Grazie often last over an hour, with summer heat making the wait even harder. Skip-the-line tickets let you enter at a reserved time slot, so most visitors are inside within minutes, face-to-face with history.
