Does anyone know a good website to book reservations online? I don't want a guided tour in Pisa or Milan, just the tickets. Thank you
I recently booked some tickets to the last supper for the end of May on Tickitaly.com. Easy to accomplish, but you better hurry as there are very limited amounts of tickets. Hopefully when we arrive there will not be any problems.
For the Leaning Tower this is the official website
http://www.opapisa.it/en/plan-your-visit/ticket-office.html
you can only purchase tickets on-line no more than twenty days of your planned visit.
Also, tickets are available day of, if you show up early in the morning chances are you would get a entrance ticket for the afternoon. Pisa is a really interesting city and I think tourists go to the tower only and not explore a little more. The duomo is well worth a visit.
for the Last Supper, this the one I used and that is considered the official site.

the audio guide I thought was worth getting as well
I was able to book on-line for The Last Supper but I have read folks have had more success calling. Ticket availability on-line seems to change, so if your first choice isn't available, keep checking back or call. Currently tickets are available through June, starting April 8th, July is available.
We bought our Pisa tickets from the site listed in the prior post. We really enjoyed the tower, baptistery, duomo and cemetery. I just bought a ticket for the Last Supper in July at the site mentioned ... not many tickets available. I purchased online instead of calling.
Those official web sites should be all you need, with the option of calling as a back-up plan.
therikker-you may have already read it, but I highly recommend the book Saving Italy, by Robert Edsel, the author who wrote the book that lead to the Monuments Men film. It gives a fascinating account of preservation efforts for the Last Supper, and the Camposanto adjacent to the Tower. A 2000 lb bomb landed just eighty feet from Leonardo's masterpiece during WW2. A great read.
