Last Supper on a Milan holiday

Many tourists travel to Milan to see Leonardo da Vinci’s astonishing masterpiece, The Last Supper.

However, if you wish to see this top attraction you must realize that it is vital to order your Last Supper tickets well in advance. To avoid damage to the delicate mural, the number of viewers is strictly controlled. Only 20-25 people can enjoy the work at any one time. And the maximum time viewers can stand close to The Last Supper is 15 minutes. It is possible to arrange Last Supper tickets online, which makes the process convenient, but you still need to make your plans well in advance to avoid being disappointed.

The enormous artwork covers a entire wall of the refectory inside the Convent of the Santa Maria della Grazie. The work captures the scene when Christ tells His closest followers that one of them will is a traitor. The picture expresses the varied responses of the 12 disciples to the shocking statement. The Last Supper is renowned for for the way it depicts the disciples acting like real people, and for its technical brilliance in conveying perspective.

The mural attracted even more visitors thanks to the Da Vinci Code book by Dan Brown and the movie that was made from it. It then became much harder to get hold of Last Supper tickets.

Supposing you are unable to get Last Supper tickets in time then you can find a sightseeing tour that encompasses Last Supper tickets in addition to other attractions in Milan.
