Crowned by Venetian-Byzantine domes, St. Marks’ Basilica is one of the most evocative landmarks of the city.

Enjoy an exclusive special visit to the Doge's Palace with a skip-the-line entrance that will allow you to focus on enjoying your tour to the symbol of political Venice. The impressive structure has layers of ornamentation on its original 14th and 15th century foundations. It holds grand works of art too, with paintings from world-renowned artists like Tiziano, Tiepolo, Tintoretto and Veronese.

You’ll visit the courtyard and then the noble areas of the Doge’s public and private areas. Admire the ballrooms, the Great Councils Hall and the “Opera Museum,” which boasts an astonishing collection of portraits. You’ll also have the chance to admire the world-famous Bridge of Sighs and learn the story behind the origin of its name.
