I know we have to show up at least 20 minutes early, but how long does it take to actually see the Last Supper? Seems like I read somewhere you are only allowed 15 minutes or something and then are scooted out. Is that right? If my appt is at 3:30, will I be done by 3:45?
You are given a limited amount of time with the painting; not sure exactly how long. Certainly less than 30 minutes, but I don't remember if it is 15 minutes. I remember that the entrance into the room is very controlled, but I don't remember if you can just leave anytime before your time limit (we stayed the whole time!)
The Last Supper is in Milan, and you do need reservations. Most people here, including me, have had better luck with calling rather than the website for reservations. Go to the Italy guide book updates on this site for calling instructions.
This question is for Kent. Do they allow you to take photos of the Last Supper when your viewing it? If so what are the restrictions, I'm sure no flash.
Thanks,
Greg
There are absolutely no photos allowed. You are allowed fifteen minutes and a guide( maybe monitor is a better word) will be present. We went two years ago on Palm Sunday and it was free. Everything is strictly controlled and you may purchase books, postcards, etc in the gift shop--so the pc will be your photo. It was the most impressive work of art I've ever seen.
The webpage (http://www.cenacolovinciano.org/english/index.html) currently looks easy to use to get tickets - only I need tickets in July which are not available yet online. Is it not as easy to use as it looks?
When getting tickets last summer, I could never get the transaction to actually work. Everything seemed fine until the very end, but for some reason I never figured out, the transaction did not go through. I also found more tickets available when I called than the website had indicated.
