Museo Cenacolo Vinciano

Milan's most iconic work of art isn't even kept in a museum. The classic works of Leonardo Da Vinci may be discovered in the modest rectory of the Santa Maria delle Grazie convent. It's incredible that the artwork has endured over 500 years, despite botched restorations, irresponsible structural adjustments (including a doorway that cut off part of the picture), and bombing attacks that took down many adjacent structures.

Viewings of the Last Supper are strictly controlled. Groups of 30 are taken into the tiny hall with the artwork for 15-minute chunks of time before being shuttled out for the next group. The full viewing experience lasts about 30 minutes (and only 15 in the actual chamber containing the picture), but you should allow at least an hour to visit the piazza outside the rectory.

Purchasing tickets in advance is essential since they are frequently unavailable without purchasing at least a couple of months in advance. Toplist advises visiting the Last Supper as part of a guided tour due to the limited viewing time and the painting's signature aesthetic and historical worth.

Location: Piazza Santa Maria delle Grazie 2, 20123 Milano
