Good to know

How does the Last Supper visit work?

Entry at Santa Maria delle Grazie is timed, with small groups and a fixed slot. Book well ahead and be at the door on time; the visit itself lasts about 45 minutes.

What should you wear to Milan Cathedral?

Covered shoulders and knees are expected inside. The cathedral and the roof terrace are separate visits; this route stays with the interior.

Is the Monumental Cemetery worth a visit?

It is a working cemetery and an open-air collection of Milanese sculpture at once, with grand tombs under trees. A quiet morning hour suits it.

How close are the museums on this route?

Day 2's Novecento sits beside the cathedral, and Day 3's modern art gallery and natural history museum share one park, so little time is lost walking between stops.

How do I book the Last Supper in Milan?

The painting hangs in the refectory at Santa Maria delle Grazie, entered separately from the church. Entry is limited and tickets sell out, so arrange yours well before the trip.

Which Milan churches are worth visiting beyond the Duomo?

Sant'Eustorgio and San Nazaro in Brolo for early Christian and Renaissance Milan, San Bernardino alle Ossa for its ossuary, and Santa Maria della Passione for a large frescoed interior.
