How far in advance do I need to book The Last Supper?+
Book at least 2-3 weeks ahead, or more, since only a few visitors are admitted at a time and tickets sell out fast. If you can't get one, look for a tour that includes tickets.
How many days do you need in Milan?+
Two days is enough to cover the main sights: the Duomo, the Galleria, The Last Supper, and shopping. Milan also makes a convenient base for onward trips to Lake Como and Turin.
Is Milan good for shopping?+
Very much so; it's a world fashion capital with both the luxury Quadrilatero della Moda quarter and suburban outlets. The sale periods (saldi) in January and July are the best value.
