What to expect

  1. Palazzo Ducale
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Nestled at the junction where the Canal Grande meets the southern expanse of San Marco square stands the Doge's Palace, a venerable symbol of Venice's republican past. Once the residence of the Doge—a paramount figure in the city-state's governance—the palace also housed pivotal political institutions. Despite enduring several fires over the centuries, each restoration imbued the palace with new architectural nuances from its respective era.
