What You Will Do

Discover the Doge's Palace like never before with our exclusive guided tour. Tired of long lines like at airport security? Skip them and dive straight into Venetian history, picturing yourself as a guest of the Doge, walking through grand halls filled with opulence and secrets. This isn't just a tour; it's an invitation to step into the shoes of past rulers of one of the most powerful empires the world has known. The Doge's Palace was more than a residence—it was the nerve center of a republic that shaped history. Picture the grandeur of the White House meeting the intrigue of "House of Cards." With a local guide, explore chambers of power, where gold-plated rooms witnessed decisions that ruled the Mediterranean. If Bill Gates had been around, he’d have admired the strategic brilliance behind these walls. Hear stories of Casanova’s legendary escape, secret trials in hidden rooms, and political backstabbing that would give James Bond a run for his money

Doge's Palace

50 minutes

The Palazzo Ducale represented for centuries the seat of Venetian political power. In its splendid rooms, surrounded by hundreds of painting masterpieces, the Doge and his Council controlled the fate of a thousand-year old republic. The experienced guide will show you the halls of power, plunging you into a very special setting: the European Middle Ages and the centuries immediately following. You’ll be surprised at the rich details of the gold staircase, at the realism of the scenes depicted by many artists who have decorated this building, you will relive the anguish of the prisoners crossing the famous Bridge of Sighs, and entering the Venetian prisons, famous for hosting Giacomo Casanova.
