Enjoy the guided tour of the magnificent Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica: two of Venice’s unmissable monuments. Get a close-up view of the fantastic architecture of these historical buildings and access areas normally close to the public. Skip the long lines and save time!

Meet your guide in Piazza San Marco and enter the imposing Doge’s Palace. Visiting this grand residence will be like travelling back in time to the Venice of the Renaissance: you will learn about the historical significance of the Doge’s former home, admire paintings of Venice’s past glories, and gaze at the coffered ceiling above the Golden Staircase. You will admire marvellous artworks by famous artists such as Tiepolo or Tiziano.
Cross the Bridge of Sighs and follow in the footsteps of those less fortunate souls who once called the Palace of Prisons their home. You’ll visit the dark cells from where only Casanova managed to escape.

Next, make your way towards the five-golden domes of the magnificent St. Mark’s Basilica, which has held court over its namesake plaza since the 11th century. Marvel at the golden mosaics and marble floors as your guide explains the meaning behind the biblical scenes depicted all over this Gothic Byzantine cathedral. Enjoy the view from the Terrace and discover the fascinating San Marco Museum.

In the end, you can visit by yourself the Museums around St.Mark's Square as Museo Correr, Biblioteca Marciana, and the National Archaeological Museum
