Your tour begins at The Last Supper Museum Ticket Office

Meet your guide just outside the ticket office near Santa Maria delle Grazie. Look for a guide holding a sign for “Last Supper Tour” so you can check-in and get set for your timed entry.

Enter the refectory to view The Last Supper

Go through a security line with the group, then step inside the former monastery dining hall to see Leonardo’s The Last Supper on the wall where monks once ate in silence. Your guide points out key figures, gestures, and perspective details as you take in this rare, timed visit.

Learn how Leonardo changed Renaissance painting

As you study the scene, hear how Leonardo experimented with paint and plaster to achieve subtle light and emotion, and why that innovation also made the mural fragile. Listen as your guide shares details about Milan’s Renaissance court and artist rivalries.

Walk through central Milan toward Sforza

Next, follow your guide on a city-center walking tour to hear how art connects to daily life in Milan. Along the way, get insight into how the city grew from a religious hub into a fortified seat of dynastic rule.

See Sforza Castle from the outside

Arrive at Castello Sforzesco, a castle built in the 15th century by Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan, on the remnants of a 14th-century fortification. Walk the large exterior with your guide and learn how the castle functioned as a symbol of control, culture, and military strength in Renaissance Milan.
