Additional Information & Description
Doge’s Palace brings the history and culture of La Serenissima into focus inside one of Venice’s most famous monuments. This fast-track ticket lets you skip the ticket line and explore the palace, with access extending beyond its rooms to several collections around St. Mark’s Square.
A Gothic palace with richly decorated interiors
The palace standing in St. Mark’s Square today dates to the 14th century. It replaced an earlier palace built on the same spot in the 9th century and later destroyed by fire. The Gothic exterior is only the beginning: inside, a golden staircase, triumphal arches and frescoed walls reveal the richness of the building’s decoration. Ornate rooms feature work by Titian, Veronese, Tiepolo and Tintoretto, giving you specific artists to look for as you move through the interiors.
Cross the Bridge of Sighs
The palace also served as a prison, and your ticket includes access to the Bridge of Sighs. Since the 16th century, this passage has linked the palace to the New Prisons. Its name refers to the laments of convicted criminals making that journey. Walking across it brings you into a different chapter of the building’s history, away from the decorated rooms and into the route associated with imprisonment.
What else your ticket opens
Alongside admission to the palace and bridge, the ticket includes access to the Armory. It also admits you to the first floor of the Museo Correr, the Archaeological Museum and the Marciana National Library. These are distinct additions to the palace visit, extending the range of places you can enter with this ticket. Access to the Museo Correr is specifically for its first floor.
An independent visit
A guided tour and an audio guide are not included. The ticket provides admission rather than a narrated tour, leaving you to explore the accessible rooms and collections independently.
