Step by Step

Discover the majesty of the Doge's Palace in Venice on this skip-the-line guided tour. Meet your guide at the location indicated on the voucher you receive upon booking to begin this journey into Renaissance art. Upon arrival at the Palace, you'll skip the long entrance lines and, with your expert guide, take a tour lasting approximately 1 hour.

The Doge's Palace, also known as the Palazzo Ducale, is one of Venice's most iconic buildings and an outstanding example of Venetian Gothic architecture. During the tour, you will admire its impressive façade and exquisite design, while your guide tells you about the history and architectural details of the building.

In addition to its architectural beauty, the Doge's Palace has a rich history. It was the official residence of the Dukes of Venice and also served as the seat of government. You can explore the different rooms and chambers, including the official flats, the halls of justice and the prisons.

One of the highlights of the visit is the Bridge of Sighs, which connects the Doge's Palace with the prisons. This bridge is famous for its romantic history and panoramic views of the city.

    I loved the experience of jumping the queue and immersing myself in the rich history of the Doge's Palace, although I would have preferred a little more time to explore at my own pace.
