the Doge's Palace is literally incredible and well worth the price: allow 1h30 for the visit, it's magnificent. The ticket is really useful! the basilica is magnificent, but the visit is very quick (20 minutes). having access to the other museums in St. Mark's Square is a plus for getting the most out of your visit!

St. Mark's Basilica is a fascinating and enchanting place to visit. By booking the ticket in advance and with the "Skip the Line" option, we did not wait even a minute outside the basilica while, on the ordinary entrance area, there were at least 300 people in line. Highly recommended

Doge's Palace was worth the money, but the Basilica cost triple than the original price. Plus we spent extra money to go on the terrace. I think this place over charge visitors with skip-the-line option.

St. Mark's Basilica

The Cathedral of Saint Mark, also referred to as the Basilica of San Marco, stands as an iconic symbol within Venice's landscape. Nestled in the heart of the Piazza San Marco, it serves as the final resting place for Saint Mark, the city's esteemed patron saint. Adorned with resplendent golden mosaics, intricate embellishments, and 5 majestic domes, the basilica epitomizes the grandeur of Byzantine architecture. See also the basilica's treasury, housing a collection of priceless artifacts, including ancient manuscripts, liturgical objects, and relics of saints.

Doge's Palace

With fast-track access, zoom past the queue and begin your journey by marveling at the grandeur of the palace's courtyards. Ascend the Grand Staircase, a marble staircase adorned with statues, leading to the upper floors of the palace. Step into the Great Council Chamber, where the governing body of the Venetian Republic convened. Admire the colossal paintings by renowned artists such as Tintoretto and Veronese, depicting significant events in Venetian history. See the extensive collection of weaponry and armor displayed in the palace's Armoury.

Benefit from a 3-museum pass with this ticket, offering a convenient option to explore Venice's history. With this pass, you can access Museo Correr, the Archaeological Museum, and the Monumental Rooms of the Biblioteca Marciana.
