Skip the Line: Doge's Palace Guided Tour in Venice

About this experience

Embark on a guided tour of one of the most impressive landmarks in Venice: the Doge's Palace. Visit this former residence of the Doge of Venice, and explore what was once the center of the Venetian Republic's political rulings and public administration. Enjoy skip-the-line access and head straight indoors to take in its many features — including gold staircases and exquisite examples of Byzantine architecture. Your guide's expert commentary — made easily to hear through use of an audio headset — will transport you back in time.
