Last Supper Tickets: Prices, Release Dates and What to Do if Sold Out (2026)
Last Supper tickets explained: the €15 official price, quarterly release dates, the Wednesday noon drops and guided tours when it sells out, checked September 2026.
Last Supper tickets are the hardest museum tickets in Italy to get, because only 40 people at a time can see Leonardo’s mural, for 15 minutes. This guide explains the official prices, when new tickets are released, what to do when they are sold out, and when a guided tour is worth the extra cost.
The short answer: the official ticket costs €15 for visitors aged 25 and over, and booking is mandatory for everyone, even infants. The museum releases tickets in quarterly batches, with extra ones every Wednesday at noon. If they are gone, a guided visit that includes the ticket starts from about $80 (checked September 2026).
