Meet your guide a few steps from Piazza San Marco and let yourself be guided into the Doge's Palace. In its splendid rooms, plastered and decorated, the Doge and his Council controlled the fate of the Republic of Venice.
Enter the halls of power and the wonderful rooms where the Doge lived with his family; admire the incredible works of art created by famous Venetian artists such as Titian and Tintoretto. Inside you will find "Paradise": the largest painting in the world! Let yourself be surprised by the precious details of the Golden Staircase, the Parliament and the internal courtyard.
A timeless journey through rooms steeped in history and secrets, where art, politics and culture intertwine in a fascinating tale that spans the centuries. Get ready to unravel the mysteries hidden behind its walls!
The guide will take you over the Bridge of Sighs, a passage that will take you directly to the damp and dark prison cells of the Doge's Palace. The bridge is famous because the prisoners, crossing it, sighed in front while looking sadly at the outside world for the last time.
The ticket also includes access to the Correr Museum, the Marciana Library and the National Archaeological Museum in Piazza San Marco, all of which will make your experience even more complete!
