The official ticketing site for the Last Supper is cenacolovinciano.org. Tickets are released quarterly — once every three months — and typically sell out within hours of each release. Each visit is exactly 15 minutes, maximum 35 visitors per slot. Tickets are non-refundable, non-changeable, and nominative. A €2 booking fee applies to all tickets including free-entry categories.
The Last Supper booking system is unlike almost anything else in European tourism. Tickets are released in a single batch every three months, and that batch disappears almost immediately. Understanding this before you try to book saves a great deal of frustration.
This guide explains exactly how the official system works, the quarterly release schedule, step-by-step booking instructions, and what to do when — as is often the case — the official site shows no availability. For ticket prices and concessions, see our entrance fee guide.

The Official Websites: Which Is Which
| Website | What It Is | Used For |
| legraziemilano.it | Official basilica & convent site | Visitor information only. Not the ticket purchase page. |
| cenacolovinciano.org | Official Last Supper museum site | Booking info and link to VivaTicket portal. |
| VivaTicket (via cenacolovinciano.org) | Official ticket portal | Where tickets are actually purchased. |
Warning: Several unofficial sites sell Last Supper tickets at inflated prices. The only authorised paths are the official VivaTicket portal (via cenacolovinciano.org) and licensed resellers such as GetYourGuide and Tiqets.
The Most Important Rule: Quarterly Ticket Releases
| The Cenacolo Vinciano releases tickets quarterly — once every three months — in a single batch. Each release typically sells out within hours, sometimes minutes. If your visit is more than three months away, official tickets for your date do not yet exist. If within three months, they are likely already sold out. |
| Release Month | Covers Visit Dates | Typical Release Day |
| March | May – July | First Wednesday of March at 12:00 pm Rome time |
| June | August – October | First Wednesday of June at 12:00 pm Rome time |
| September | November – January | First Wednesday of September at 12:00 pm Rome time |
| December | February – April | First Wednesday of December at 12:00 pm Rome time |
What this means in practice: If you are planning a trip to Milan in August, you need to be ready to book in early June when that quarterly batch releases. Set a calendar reminder, have your credit card and all participant names ready. The entire batch can be gone in under an hour on popular dates.

Book This TourWhat to Do When the Official Site Is Sold Out
When the official VivaTicket portal shows no available dates, licensed tour operators on GetYourGuide and Tiqets hold their own pre-purchased allocations — independent of the quarterly release — and typically have availability when the official portal does not.
This is the reality for the vast majority of visitors: the official site will be sold out. Authorised resellers are not a workaround — they are the standard, practical option. See our last-minute tickets guide for the full sold-out survival plan.
| Official Website | Authorised Reseller | |
| Price | €15 + €2 booking fee | From €30 (includes guide + service fee) |
| Guide included? | No — self-guided | Yes — licensed guide |
| Availability | Quarterly release — sells out fast | Pre-purchased allocations — usually available |
| Cancellation | Non-refundable | Usually free cancellation up to 24 hrs |
| Same-day tickets? | Essentially never | Sometimes available |
Free Sunday: First Sunday of Every Month
On the first Sunday of every month, entry to the Last Supper Museum is free for all visitors. However, free-Sunday tickets must still be pre-booked online. They are released on the preceding Wednesday at 12:00 pm Rome time and disappear within minutes. See our dedicated Free Sunday guide for the full process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the official Last Supper ticketing website?
The official museum website is cenacolovinciano.org. Ticket purchases are completed through the VivaTicket portal linked from that site. The basilica website (legraziemilano.it) contains visitor information but is not where tickets are purchased.
Why are there no available dates on the official website?
Tickets are released quarterly. If your visit is more than three months away, those dates haven’t been released yet. If within three months, the current batch is likely sold out. In both cases, authorised resellers have separate allocations — see our last-minute tickets guide for options.
Are Last Supper tickets refundable?
No. Official website tickets are non-refundable and non-changeable after purchase. Authorised resellers typically offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the visit.
Can I visit without a reservation?
No. Reservations are mandatory for all visitors including free-entry categories. Walk-in access is not available under any circumstances.
