The easiest way to reach Santa Maria delle Grazie is by metro: take the M1 Red Line to Conciliazione station, then walk 5 minutes south on Via Boccaccio. Alternatively, Tram 16 stops directly outside the church on Corso Magenta. The complex is located at Piazza di Santa Maria delle Grazie, 20123 Milan, inside the ZTL congestion zone — driving is strongly discouraged.
Santa Maria delle Grazie sits in a quiet residential part of central Milan, about 20 minutes on foot from the Duomo. Getting here is straightforward once you know which entrance you’re heading to — because the church and the Last Supper Museum have separate doors.
This guide gives you exact directions by every transport mode, plus the one detail most visitors miss: the museum entrance is on Via Caradosso, not on the main piazza.

Address: Piazza di Santa Maria delle Grazie, 20123 Milan, Italy

Take the M1 Red Line to Conciliazione station. From the station exit, walk south along Via Boccaccio for about 5 minutes — Santa Maria delle Grazie will appear on your right. Alternatively, use the M2 Green Line to Cadorna station and walk 8 minutes west. Trains run every 3–6 minutes on both lines.
Milan’s metro tickets cost €2.20 per journey (valid 90 minutes across metro, tram, and bus). Buy single tickets from vending machines at any station, or load a rechargeable ATM card for convenience.
Tram 16 (Monte Velino–San Siro route) stops directly outside Santa Maria delle Grazie on Corso Magenta. Board at Piazza del Duomo or along Via Torino. The journey takes 15–20 minutes and drops you at the church door — no walking required. Trams run every 7–10 minutes.
Bus lines 50 and 169 stop near the Cadorna area, from where it’s an 8-minute walk to the church. Buses are better suited to visitors staying in local neighbourhoods without direct metro access.
Santa Maria delle Grazie is 20 minutes on foot from the Duomo, 12 minutes from Sforza Castle, and 8 minutes from Cadorna station. Milan is flat and the route is straightforward along Corso Magenta. Walking is a genuine option if you’re combining both landmarks in a single morning.
| Starting Point | Walking Time | Route Summary |
| Duomo di Milano | ~20 minutes | Via Torino → Corso Magenta west |
| Sforza Castle (Castello Sforzesco) | ~12 minutes | Via Magenta south-west |
| Cadorna Station | ~8 minutes | Via Carducci west → Corso Magenta |
| Brera district | ~15 minutes | Via Pontaccio → Via Magenta |
If you’re planning to visit both the Duomo and Santa Maria delle Grazie on the same day, see our detailed directions from Duomo di Milano to Santa Maria delle Grazie for the best combined route.
Santa Maria delle Grazie is inside Milan’s ZTL (Zona Traffico Limitato), a restricted traffic zone active during daytime hours. Non-resident vehicles face automatic fines of €80–€160. Street parking near the church is extremely limited. If you must drive, use Garage Alle Grazie on Via Caradosso — but public transport remains far easier.
ZTL warning: Milan’s ZTL cameras operate automatically. If you’re renting a car, check your rental agreement — many rental companies pass ZTL fines onto customers weeks after the trip.

The most common on-site mistake: the church and the museum are in the same complex but have different entrances on different streets.
If you arrive at the main piazza and walk through the church door, you will be in the church — not the museum. Staff at the entrance can direct you, but in busy periods signage is not always obvious.
Museum map: Download the map of Santa Maria delle Grazie’s Refectory. It will guide you through the complex, highlighting key areas and artworks, including The Last Supper.
Conciliazione station on the M1 Red Line is the closest, with a 5-minute walk. Cadorna on the M2 is slightly further, about 8 minutes on foot.
Yes, 20 minutes on flat streets along Corso Magenta. For a detailed walkthrough, see our Duomo to Santa Maria delle Grazie directions guide.
Very limited. The area is inside the ZTL zone. Garage Alle Grazie on Via Caradosso is the nearest paid option. We strongly recommend using the metro or tram instead.
