Since many tourists visit Duomo di Milano and Santa Maria delle Grazie on the same day, they want to know how to go from one to the other.
The most recommended mode of transportation is public transit, as driving in the historic city center is not advised due to traffic congestion, narrow streets, and limited parking.
Here are the transportation options you can consider:
Walking
Walking to Santa Maria delle Grazie from the Duomo is a pleasant 1.8-kilometer (1.1-mile) stroll, taking around 20 minutes to complete.
While walking is an option, it may be a bit much for some visitors, especially considering the walking to explore both the Duomo and Last Supper churches.

Tram
For a hassle-free journey, we highly recommend taking the tram.
Hop on tram number 16, which runs every 15 minutes during regular hours. The ride is quick and convenient, taking just 8 minutes.
Check Milan’s public transportation site for the most up-to-date information on tram routes and schedules.

Metro
Take the metro from Duomo to Conciliazione station on the red line (M1).
The journey involves four stops, and from Conciliazione station, it’s only a 5-minute walk to Santa Maria delle Grazie.
You could also consider taking the yellow line metro from Duomo to Cadorna station and switching to the red line towards Conciliazione. However, this might involve more transfers and walking than taking the red line directly from Duomo.
Public transportation tickets: A single ticket for the Milan metro and trams costs €2 and is valid for 90 minutes. Buy it on the official website.
