Overview
Embark on a 2.5-hour small-group guided tour of Venice’s most iconic landmarks: St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace. Enjoy skip-the-line access to the Basilica, where over 8,000 square meters of golden mosaics illuminate its breathtaking Byzantine interior. From the terrace, take in panoramic views of St. Mark’s Square, the former political and commercial heart of the Venetian Republic.
Continue to the Doge’s Palace, the former seat of Venetian power. Walk through its lavish chambers, adorned with masterpieces by Tintoretto and Veronese. Climb the Golden Staircase and marvel at the Grand Council Chamber, where opulent paintings and remarkable architecture reflect Venice’s wealth and ambition. As you cross the Bridge of Sighs, hear tales of the rulers who shaped Venice’s destiny and reflect on the prisoners who glimpsed their city one last time before facing their fate.
