Best time to view The Last Supper

Peak season vs low season

  • Peak season for The Last Supper is typically June-August, when the weather is warm and tourist crowds are larger. School breaks and holidays can also see increased visitor numbers.
  • Off-seasons, like late fall and winter, will be quieter and offer potentially shorter wait times. 
  • The ideal time to visit might be spring (April-May). You'll enjoy pleasant weather, moderate crowds, and a better chance of securing tickets.

Weekday vs weekend

  • Weekdays (Tuesday to Friday) can allow a more intimate viewing experience with shorter wait times, typically around 15 minutes.
  • Weekends are generally busier, with potential wait times reaching 30 minutes or more.
  • Consider arriving early, even on weekdays, for the quietest atmosphere.

How long do you need to visit The Last Supper?

Due to the delicate state of The Last Supper painting visitors are only granted 15 minutes inside the refractory. However, the entire visit, including security checks, receiving information, and entering/exiting the viewing area, typically takes around 30 minutes.

But your journey doesn't need to end there! Feel free to explore the Santa Maria delle Grazie church at your leisure. This beautiful structure offers stunning architecture and additional artworks to admire. Plan to spend around 2 hours to fully appreciate both The Last Supper and the church itself.
