Help me out with the reservation website for the Last Supper in Milan, if you would, please.
I can't make the reservations yet (for March) as they allow for dates up to Feb. 28 right now. But, practicing with the current calendar I still don't understand how to complete the process. Feb. 16th is blank, does that mean there are or are not spaces available? And what is the next step when/if I do find an opening? Thanks for assisting this poor, cyber-challenged woman.

Looking at online reservation page at www.cenacolovinciano.org, there is no availability shown to Feb 28th, so it's difficult to do a trial booking to see how it works. But baically, if a slot is available (and the calendar indictes how many spaces), you just click on it and follow the link to enter your details, card number and so on, till you get the reservation page and note down your booking reference, which you need to take to the ticket office at least 20 min before the reserved time with your card to get your ticket.
It's usually better to phone the call center to make a booking, as only a small number of slots are allocated to online booking. And if you are staying at a hotel in Milan, they can often make a booking for you, even for apparenty booked-out days. Tour operators and city tour groups make block bookings far in advance, so leaving relatively few slots for independent travelers. Also commercial booking agents can get tickets unavailable from official sources, but charge a large mark-up (often double or more).

Thank you so very much. I will call, also to see if they have a different rate on the hotel we are interested in.

Hi, pdx. I got my tickets for the Last Supper on www.ticketitaly.com and found them pretty easy to negotiate.

Actually, I ordered the tickets in December for mid/late March and received a prompt and nice email back with a reservation number asking me to contact them again within 60 days of the intended visit, which I now have done.

But I agree that these cultural ticket sites can be terribly confusing. I got tickets for the Giotto Chapel in Padua, made a mistake and booked twice. I sent an email immediately, explaining my error, though, and they kindly refunded the *second* booking (and the money is already back on my credit card.)

Truly looking forward to my 15 minutes of communion with Leonardo and Giotto!

If you're staying in Milan, the easiest way to get Last Supper reservations is to ask your hotel to make them.

That's a nice idea, Jean. I'll include a note when I make the reservation. Did you have confirmation the Brera was reserved?

Is the Pinacoteca approximately the size of the Uffizi?
