Overview
This semi-private evening tour of the Doge's Palace is a unique opportunity to visit this iconic venue later in the day when the crowds have gone and the heat of the day has cooled. Built in 810, the palace has undergone many reconstructions and extensions over the years. It was the public and private palace of the Doges, the elected rulers of the Venetian Republic. With a top-rated expert guide, you'll visit the highlights of the Grand Council Chamber and public state rooms. And you'll learn about the lives of the rulers of Venice, whilst walking through their private rooms! You'll also visit the prisons, the Armory, and the torture chamber. Throughout the marble halls and galleries, admire priceless Renaissance art and golden ceilings. You'll hear about the extraordinary history of Venice, arguably the most beautiful city on earth. And learn about its unique political republic, in an age of absolute monarchs. Finally, exit via the Golden Staircase back to Saint Mark's Square.
