The museum was very impressive and simply amazing. The only trouble we had was that while visiting it was not easy to match audio guide to the room we were in. A few audiobook points per room was a bit too much, and it was hard to understand, usually there is one point per room. Also a content of audiobook was very detailed, focusing not only on the palace but also, in my opinion a bit too much on Venice history. It made an audiobook simply too long to listen and we had to skip whole points, despite we were not hurrying.

The Doge's Palace is one of the most interesting places to visit in Venice. And the line cutter saved us a lot of time. You can see : - the palace itself (its inner courtyard, large halls and numerous paintings and sculptures) - the armoury, with its impressive collection of weapons from the period - the very large prison. There are panels in each room with explanations in several languages, including French. The palace is not heated, so if you're visiting in winter, bring a good coat. The tour lasts between 2 and 4 hours, depending on how long you spend reading and observing the rooms and works. Highly recommended as a city tour.

Very nice visit. Not to be missed! On the other hand, we waited just as long with the ticket-cutter as those who hadn't bought their ticket.

The palace Unfortunately there are no more mobile audio guides on site! Only everything on the smartphone, which is very exhausting if the connection in the palace doesn't work well!!! Unfortunately, this should be improved as a service.
