What to Expect at Doge's Palace
The historic Doge's Palace served as the central hub of governance for the Venetian Republic. It was home to the Doge's residence and vital governing chambers over several centuries.
In the Grand Council Chamber, you'll find monumental canvases adorning walls and ceilings, including Tintoretto’s Il Paradiso—one of the world’s largest oil paintings.
Cross the Bridge of Sighs—an enclosed limestone bridge that once linked interrogation rooms to the New Prisons. This was where prisoners took their final view of Venice before imprisonment.
Explore the New Prisons, which still bear inscriptions scratched into walls by former inmates from centuries past.
The Armory showcases one of Europe’s most well-preserved collections of medieval and Renaissance arms and armor across several rooms.
Discover the Doge's Apartments, where Venice's ruler lived. These private quarters are adorned with period furnishings and artworks.
Museo Correr, Archaeological Museum & Biblioteca Marciana
Your ticket also provides entry to three additional venues within the St. Mark’s Square Museums circuit: Museo Correr, the National Archaeological Museum, and Biblioteca Marciana's Monumental Rooms. These can be visited without a guide at any time over 3 days following your Doge's Palace visit.
Museo Correr offers insights into Venice's history and art from medieval times to today. The National Archaeological Museum boasts one of Italy’s most significant collections of Greek and Roman artifacts. Biblioteca Marciana, designed by Jacopo Sansovino, features rare manuscripts under a ceiling decorated by Titian and Veronese.
