The ticket cut the queue and meant I didn't have to queue to get into the museum. Magnificent museum with beautiful rooms to visit, a rich collection of weapons and the passage across the Bridge of Sighs to the prison. This ticket also gives access to the library rooms, the corer museum (a vision of the powerful naval fleet in Venice's heyday)...

Palace was extraordinary. Definitely worth the visit. A must see if you are in Venice. Lines to get in were long. Large groups had preference and passed us. Was not a "skip the line" deal. But still enjoyed it.

The museum is a wonder, so much history. I highly recommend going to the palace. The down side for me was the audio portion. It was too long for my attention span. I was not alone with this thought, my wife agreed and she has a much better temperament for such things. Because of the length of the narrative it was hard to keep up with the directions. Eventually we gave up and just enjoyed the art. I did audio again in the prison section and found that very enjoyable.

Inside, wander through lavish chambers adorned with intricate frescoes by masters like Tintoretto and Veronese, breathing life into tales of Venetian mythology and the city's rich maritime heritage. Traverse the hallowed halls where the Doge's – supreme rulers of Venice, once deliberated and held court, feeling the weight of centuries of political intrigue and diplomacy.

Rooms and corridors of intrigue

Explore the haunting corridors of the Bridge of Sighs, where prisoners crossed from courtroom to cell. In the Armory, a vast collection of weaponry offers insight into the city's military prowess. Lastly, take a moment to appreciate the stunning views of the Grand Canal from the palace's balconies, providing a breathtaking backdrop to Venice's timeless allure.
