Once inside the enclosure, after paying 20 € for the entrance, you had to pay again for other visits inside the basilica, this information was not known before entering the enclosure. The visit is totally saturated and this does not make it completely satisfactory.

ticket coupe fil which avoids the queue perfect but I was not warned that I needed another reservation to visit museum and floor and another room. So the basilica visit was very short and the audio guide didn't work in the basilica.

The queue wasn't that big outside, and only €3 each to get in, so better to save your money and go early and pay on the door. The queue Inside for the museum was where the real wait was and the skip the line didn't cover this.

The painting, ceilings, and the jail. Loved the government meeting room and the steps. One issue was we were not allowed into the St Marks Basilica. We were told our tickets were no good and asked to leave the line.

We were so happy to get the tickets while other sites that we were looking at were much more expensive or out of tickets.
