Overview

There is no better way to understand the power which Venice had over the overworld than by a private, guided tour of Doge’s Palace.

For over a thousand years beginning in the eighth century, Venice was ruled by doges – elected magistrates who served for life. While the process for selecting doges changed throughout the millennium, the singular law was simply that no doge could pass his title on to a member of his own family.

While the original wood structure burned down, the building which stands today is still a staggering 700 years old. From its ornate wood carvings to its larger-than-life facades, the palace is more than just a historical sight – it’s an architectural masterpiece and a visual feast.

Whilst touring the palace, see works by Titian, Tintoretto, and Tiepolo amongst others.
