Best of Milan: The Last Supper Tickets, Duomo & City Tour

Skip the Line Sforza Castle Tour with Last Supper Tickets

What to know about milan from our local guides.

Milan offers something for everyone, whether you’re into fashion, art, history, or just about anything else. Here are a few things to do in Milan that are worth checking out.

• Visit the Duomo , Milan’s iconic Gothic masterpiece and the largest cathedral in Italy, and climb to the rooftop for breathtaking city views.
• Feast your eyes on Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, housed in the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie.
• Explore Sforza Castle , an imposing medieval fortress-turned-museum that houses various art collections, including Michelangelo's unfinished masterpiece, the Pietà Rondanini.
• Shop your way around Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, an elegant gallery known for its stunning architecture in addition to its impressive collection of luxury fashion brands.
• Discover an impressive collection of Italian Renaissance art, including works by Caravaggio, Raphael, and Mantegna, at the Pinacoteca di Brera art gallery.
• Stroll along the picturesque Naviglio Grande and Naviglio Pavese canals, lined with trendy bars, cafes, boutiques, and art galleries.

While it is possible to book Last Supper tickets online, the official website isn’t very user-friendly and offers little to no flexibility in case your plans change. Your best bet is to go with a guided tour to guarantee a hassle-free experience and ensure you get in. Both our Best of Milan Tour and our Sforza Castle Tour with Last Supper offer skip-the-line, pre-reserved access to the famous (and rapidly deteriorating!) masterpiece, along with the context you need to fully appreciate da Vinci’s genius.

Milan is a fantastic city for families and many of its top attractions, including the Duomo and the Last Supper, are easy to visit with little ones. Parco Sempione is a sprawling green space in the heart of Milan with plenty of space for kids to run free, and nearby Sforza Castle is a fascinating visit for travelers of all ages. Kids will love exploring the castle on our Milan walking tour !

Milan might not be as famous as Naples or Bologna when it comes to gastronomy, but there are still plenty of delicious typical foods from Milan that are worth a try.

First things first: risotto. Rice is more common than pasta here in the north of Italy, and risotto alla Milanese is arguably its best iteration. It’s creamy, saffron-infused, and a true culinary masterpiece.

Plenty of other staple dishes of Milanese cuisine are similarly hearty and filling—perfect for the chilly winter months. Ossobuco (braised veal shanks cooked with vegetables, wine, and broth), cassoeula (a pork and cabbage stew), and the famous minestrone soup are all commonly found on menus and family tables throughout Milan.

Craving something sweet? Crumbly and buttery sbrisolona cake is one of Milan’s best-known desserts. If you’re visiting around Christmastime, be sure to try the famous panettone—though it’s now enjoyed throughout Italy and beyond, it has its roots here in Milan!

There’s really no bad time of year to visit Milan. It all depends on your personal travel style, budget, and the kinds of experiences you’re looking to have.

As with much of Italy, the spring and fall “shoulder seasons” offer beautiful weather and a pleasant atmosphere in the city without the crowds. While summer is easily hotter and more crowded, it also offers dozens of festivals and events, including outdoor concerts at Sforza Castle. It’s also a lovely time of year to enjoy a day trip to picturesque Lake Como, just two and a half hours away by train.

Winter is the quietest time of year to visit Milan, as well as the most budget friendly. While temperatures can be quite chilly and snow is a possibility (this is northern Italy, after all!), the city won’t be nearly as crowded with tourists and offers a more relaxed atmosphere.

Milan offers a modern and efficient public transportation system. With five metro lines and dozens of buses and trams, there are plenty of options to get you wherever you need to go. Tickets start at just €1.60 for a single journey and can be purchased at self-service kiosks, newsstands, and ATM (Azienda Transporti Milanesi) service centers throughout the city.

This city tour has you covered with guaranteed tickets to da Vinci’s masterpiece, as well as skip-the-line entry to the incredible Duomo cathedral, plus a walking tour around the ultra-trendy Brera district and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. See the best of Milan in just half a day with a knowledgeable, local guide.

• Da Vinci's Last Supper
• Meet your guide
• Guaranteed tickets to Last Supper
• Last Supper up close
• Sforza Castle
• Brera neighborhood
• La Scala Opera House
• Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
• Skip the line at the Milan Duomo

After meeting your local guide and small group in Piazza Santa Maria delle Grazie, it’s time see Milan’s most famous highlights.

Last Supper and Duomo Walking Tour Description

Your 3-hour tour includes:

Walking tour of Milan including the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and the Brera Neighborhood

Engaging English-speaking guide

Maximum group size of 18

The Last Supper

What's unique about da Vinci's famous mural is that it's not hanging in some famous museum filled with other masterpieces, but it's painted directly onto the wall in the unassuming Santa Maria delle Grazie church. It's a solemn and private space for a sacred painting. This makes the experience even more memorable and exclusive since only a small number of tourists have access each day, which is essential for preserving this fragile art.

The next-best benefit—aside from the painting itself—is that your expert guide can point out the most important parts of the masterpiece and tell of the folklore, myths, secrets, and facts that surround Last Supper . This is important, since time in front of the painting is limited to 15 minutes per group, with less than 30 people allowed in the room at any one time. A few helpful pointers will make sure you don't miss a thing about one of the world's most famous artworks.

* Please make sure to provide your full names and birthdates upon booking and bring a legal identification, otherwise security will not grant you access.

Walking Tour of Milan

Upon leaving the Santa Maria delle Grazie, you'll head towards the city center with your guide to see one of the world’s most historic and opulent malls: the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. You'll be starry-eyed here as you see the famous shops of Gucci, Versace, Prada, and many more household names in a building that feels more like a baroque palace than a mall. Welcome to the fashion heartland of Milan!

After exploring the mall and strolling past beautiful Sforza Castle and La Scala opera house, your guide will lead you through the small but historic Brera district and the courtyard of the Brera Gallery. Known as the city's artistic and cultural center—with an upmarket yet bohemian feel—this is also home to many of Milan's most famous residents. Learn their secrets from your guide!

Milan’s Duomo

The world-famous Duomo in Milan is one of the largest cathedrals in the world and the largest in Italy. There's a lot to see here, so you can skip the line and spend your time looking around instead of waiting around. Milan’s cathedral is filled with historic artworks, incredible architectural features, and ancient crypts, as well as a fascinating archaeological area to explore. Follow along with your guide who'll keep you enthralled with the 600-year history of its construction, troubles, and the historic figures who once walked the cathedral's corridors.

Very nice tour. The afternoon tour ended just as the organ music in the church started, amazing ambiance to just listen, sit, and rest. It was overwhelming navigating the Galleria and following the tour guide due to so many people.

Then stroll through Milan city center, wandering around a few of the numerous picturesque streets and squares and reach the most iconic symbol of Milan, the Duomo . Skip the long lines and get into the Gothic cathedral, the biggest church in Italy, and admire the statues, the decorations, the stained-glass windows that tireless craftsmen designed along the centuries. Be truly amazed by all that you see while hearing about the stories of the “Holy Nail” from Jesus’ True Cross and the Sundial Trail and its zodiac signs. Leave the Cathedral and become a milanese ‘fashion addict’ while walking along the chic and trendy Galleria Vittorio Emanuele , a 19th-century innovative architectural piece, now the most exclusive and elegant shopping gallery in Milan full of boutiques and fashion brands. The tour continues onto Piazza della Scala , home to the worldwide known milanese Opera House. Here, from outside, the guide will share curious facts and anecdotes about this remarkable temple of classical music. Conclude the morning with the ironic L.O.V.E. monument set in front of the Italian Stock Exchange , designed by the provocative contemporary artist Maurizio Cattelan and find out why Milan is considered the most ‘open minded’ Italian city!

While revealing curiosities about the Florentine artist our guide leads you to a hidden pearl of Milan, the 16th-century church of San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore , the “Sistine Chapel” of Milan, where disciples of Leonardo left paintings of uncomparable beauty! Proceed to the huge Castello Sforzesco, a majestic Renaissance court surrounded by the amazing Sempione Park. Cross the Clock Tower, walk through the Army Courtyard and learn more about the Sforza Family and the reasons why the dukes of Milan hired Leonardo who lived here as a guest for decades. End this exciting full-day tour by reaching the museum dedicated to another top Renaissance artist, Michelangelo.

The Magic of the Italian Lakes

Cosmos Italian Lakes tour was great. Our tour director, Firenzia, did a terrific job. A few minor criticisms -- some of the hotels were not centrally located; the restaurant for the excursion to the mountain top in Switzerland was not very good. Otherwise, a really excellent trip.

Alps By Bernina Train & Northern Lakes - 6 Days

All fine otherwise. Guide and driver great. Major drawback was Starhotels Crystallo hotel in Bergamo - very basic - no tea or coffee facilities in room - big issue with us- nil available in lobby to make a cup of tea. No way would I describe this hotel as 4* The 2 dinners we ate there basically unedible.

Northern Italy's Highlights & Cinque Terre

we have just returned from Northern Italy and Cinque Terra. The tour was very well organised and covered a variety of areas. All the food and wine experiences were as good or better than we hoped. The days at Rapallo were excellent. Our tour leader Simonetta was the best we have had yet. Her knowledge and attention to detail could not be faulted. She took care immediately of any problems as soon as they arose. The accommodation was of a high standard. The only downside was the farewell dinner. The restaurant was too hot, too noisy and the food very poor.

Milan   Travel Guide

Why Go To Milan

If easygoing Italy is what you're looking for, book a vacation in Tuscany or Sicily . Milan, like New York City or London , is go-go-go. Home to Italy's stock exchange and fashion week, plus a hot nightlife, Milan is very much like many other major international cities. Still, there are subtle differences: For one, calcio (soccer) – the city goes crazy for it, especially at San Siro stadium.

Milan Travel Tips

Best months to visit.

The best times to visit Milan are April to May or September to October. These spring and fall months straddle the city's manic peak tourism season, and they also escape the summer's sweltering temperatures. The months between November and March constitute the offseason and are characterized by high average temps in the 40s and 50s, fog and fewer holiday tourists.

Weather in Milan

Data sourced from the National Climatic Data Center

What You Need to Know

Beware of pushy vendors Groups of aggressive salespeople – congregated around popular landmarks or metro stops – will try and badger you into buying their souvenirs. Say a loud, firm "no," and walk on quickly.

Milan shuts down on Mondays If you're only planning a short trip, don't visit on Monday, when many museums and top attractions are closed.

Skip fashion week Unless fashion is your passion, avoid these weeks in February and September – and opt for a less crowded (and inexpensive) time to visit.

How to Save Money in Milan

Walk when you can Milan is pretty big, but some of its biggest attractions , including the Duomo , Galleria Vittorio Emanuelle II , Ambrosiana Library & Picture Gallery are less than a half-mile from one another. " The Last Supper " is a mile away from the Duomo.

Indulge in aperitivo   Aperitivos are happy hours for Milanese. Order signature Milanese cocktails for less, including negronis or spritz, which is a blend of prosecco, soda water and a fruity aperitif.

Don't stay by the Duomo The Duomo is undoubtedly the city center for both locals and tourists. Accommodations here will always be more expensive, so consider bedding down in other neighborhoods to save some money.

Culture & Customs

Milan is the antithesis of what many imagine an Italian city to be. Despite their notoriously large crowds, Florence and Venice are the kind of destinations teeming with so much beauty, it would be a crime not to slow down and revel in their unmatched scenery. Rome 's good looks afford it the same status, but due to its large size, adds a hearty dose of hustle and bustle into its intoxicating mix. But despite being Italy's cultural capital, and biggest city, Rome is not an industry center the same way that Milan is. Milan acts as the country's finance and fashion capital. Here, business takes center stage in a way that it doesn't in other Italian cities. Thus, you can expect a much faster pace of life here.

Aside from its business savvy, Milan brims with cafes selling espressos, tucked away trattorias serving delectable pastas, gelaterias and plenty of cultural landmarks, such as the beautiful Duomo, "The Last Supper" and the Teatro Alla Scala, considered one of the most beautiful opera houses in the world. The city also has one of the most successful soccer teams in the world, A.C. Milan. Like the rest of Italy, the spoken language is Italian and the currency here is the euro. Check the exchange rate before you go, as it can fluctuate. Italians don't tip, as a service charge is usually added to a restaurant bill. However, if you are at a fine dining restaurant or really enjoyed your meal, 10% is sufficient.

What to Eat

While in Milan, you'll no doubt find plenty of pasta, espresso, gelato and pizza, but you'll also want to sample Milanese cuisine. Similar to other regions in Italy, including the Amalfi Coast and Naples , Milan has its own culinary identity that features specialty dishes native to the region. The most important dish is Milanese risotto or risotto alla Milanese. It's unique primarily for one ingredient: saffron. It is said that the artist, not chef, who created it wanted to make his risotto more appealing to his guests, so he added the saffron to turn it yellow. 

Another must-try dish in Milan, which is often accompanied by saffron risotto, is the ossobuco, a flavorful veal shank. After being fried in onions and butter, the veal shank is left to marinate for hours in a simmering tomato broth accompanied by vegetables and white wine. Another popular veal dish to try is cotoletta. It may look a lot like Wiener schnitzel and that's because it might actually be. The history on whether it was invented by the Milanese or the Austrians isn't completely clear. Regardless, you can dig into this pan-fried, buttery- and bread crumbed-goodness most places in Milan. 

Whether you're an omnivore or carnivore, don't skimp on the bread or cheese here. The Lombardy region, for which Milan calls home, is known for its cheeses, specifically gorgonzola, mascarpone and Grana Padano, similar to Parmigiano-Reggiano. For breads, there is michetta, a star-shaped white bread often referred to by the Italians as the bread of the Milanese. There's also the panettone, a dessert bread made with candied fruits typically consumed during the holidays. And while here, don't forget to order a Negroni cocktail. This famous gin-, Campari- and –vermouth cocktail, garnished with an orange peel, was invented in Milan, particularly at the Bar Basso. 

Getting Around Milan

The best way to get around Milan is by the efficient (and inexpensive) public transportation system called the ATM. This system of subways, buses and trams is extensive and affordable. Metered taxis are another good option, though they can get expensive if you use them as your sole form of transportation. If your hotel is near the Duomo, which is considered the city's center, you might just want to walk, as lots of other attractions and amenities can be found blocks away. Driving in Milan, as in other major European cities, is not recommended because of traffic and parking that is both expensive and limited. 

Two airports serve Milan: The Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) is a little more than 30 miles northeast, and it welcomes in most international flights; the Milan Linate Airport (LIN) is only about 5 miles from the city center, but it handles fewer flights (some European, but mostly domestic). To get to the city center from Milan Malpensa, you can take the Malpensa Express for 20 euros, or about $ 22 (for a round-trip ticket). From Linate, there isn't a train that goes into the city. Instead, take the No. 73 bus to get into the city. Taxis are another option, but an expensive one. Expect to pay between 40 to 80 euros (about $47.85 to $95.70) from Linate (depending on your destination) and 110 euros (about $121) from Malpensa to get to the city center.

U.S. News Insider Tip: Milan’s trams, some of which are nearly a century old, are a must-see. Catch tram No. 1 in front of Sforza Castle and you’ll ride along one of Milan’s most beautiful streets to see La Scala, the Arco della Pace and more. – Nneya Richards

Travel Better, Cheaper, Longer

The 6 Best Hotels in Milan

Italy’s second-largest city is best known as the fashion and design capital of the world, drawing millions of visitors each year. There’s also a ton of history here too (the city used to be the capital of the Western Roman Empire). And, shortly, Milan will take center-stage on the world’s arena as host city to the 2026 Winter Olympics.

But no matter what brings you to Milan, it’s important to pick a good hotel while you are here. I’ve been visiting the city for years and have stayed in a ton of different places.

To help you find a hotel that suits your needs and budget, here’s my list of the best hotels in Milan:

1. Brera Prestige B&B

The bathrooms are spacious with a walk-in shower and bidet. The staff is very friendly too. It’s a nice and quiet place that’s still central to everything. Just note that, while it’s called a B&B, it does not actually offer breakfast.

2. B&B Hotel Milano Sant’Ambrogio

I especially love the fact that the breakfast buffet is quite varied and includes lots of pastries as well as fresh orange juice (it costs 9.50 EUR though). There’s also a rooftop terrace with great views as well as a little snack bar downstairs if you want to grab some late-night munchies but not leave the hotel. Overall, the hotel offers great value for first-time visitors who want to stay somewhere central but not spend an arm and a leg.

3. Art Hotel Navigli

The rooms are a bit dated, but they’re spacious and each has a flatscreen TV, minibar, electric kettle, and Nespresso machine. The showers are a bit small and dated as well, though they have great water pressure. It’s a unique place to stay that’s just steps from one of the Navigli’s beautiful canals.

4. Magna Pars l’Hotel à Parfum

Each of the hotel’s 68 spacious suites has its own unique scent, which have also inspired the unique artwork created by local artists adorning the walls. All suites have floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors, and comfy beds (you can even choose your pillow from a pillow menu). Every suite includes a desk, flatscreen TV, minibar, and leather chaise longue to relax in. The luxurious bathrooms are huge and entirely made of marble, with bespoke toiletries that are (of course) uniquely scented. Overall, this hotel is the perfect option for travelers looking for a luxurious retreat that’s still close to the Navigli canals with its great bars and restaurants.

5. BB Hotels Aparthotel Isola

The apartments are minimally decorated but have lots of natural light thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and closets to store your stuff in. The bathrooms are spacious too, with a bidet, walk-in shower, towel warmers, and complimentary toiletries. This is a great choice for long-term travelers who want the full functionality of an apartment a bit away from the touristy Duomo area.

6. Bulgari Hotel Milano

The hotel’s rooms are spacious and decorated with elegant Bulgari furnishings and wooden accenting. All rooms feature comfy beds, desks, walk-in closets, and minibars. The bathrooms are huge, with deep soaking tubs, walk-in showers, and complimentary bath products. If you want to spend some money, this is the hotel to do it at!

Whether you’re visiting for fashion, design, history, or art, choosing a great hotel is paramount. As the city draws so many tourists, there are a lot of hotels in Milan . But not all of them are worth staying at. Choose from one of the list above and enjoy your visit to Italy’s second-largest city!

Book Your Trip to Milan: Logistical Tips and Tricks

Book Your Flight Use Skyscanner to find a cheap flight. They are my favorite search engine because they search websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is left unturned!

Book Your Accommodation You can book your hostel with Hostelworld as they have the biggest inventory and best deals. If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as they consistently return the cheapest rates for guesthouses and cheap hotels.

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:

• Safety Wing (best for everyone)
