Explore Venice Your Way: Three Ways to Experience the Magic
Venice is one of those places that feels straight out of a storybook. The winding canals, the golden mosaics, and the echoes of centuries past fill every corner with a story to tell. With this experience, you'll skip the long lines and step right into the heart of it all, exploring the city’s two most iconic landmarks: Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica.

Walk through grand halls where the rulers of Venice once made powerful decisions. Admire the breathtaking mosaics of the basilica and cross the legendary Bridge of Sighs, feeling the weight of history all around you. It’s more than sightseeing—it’s stepping into the story of Venice.

Choose the experience that suits you best:

Combo Ticket with Audioguide
Want the freedom to explore at your own pace? This flexible option includes skip-the-line entry to both Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica, plus a multilingual audioguide packed with stories, facts, and hidden details. It’s perfect for independent travelers who like to move at their own rhythm and soak up the history without a fixed schedule.

Guided Tour
Looking for a deeper dive? Join a certified local guide who will walk you through Venice’s top landmarks while sharing fascinating details and little-known stories that bring the city’s past to life. Expect hidden gems, expert insights, and a fresh perspective on places you've seen in pictures.

Guided Tour with Self-led Terrace Visit
Want to take it even further? This option includes everything in the guided tour, plus access to the terrace of St. Mark’s Basilica. Head up for sweeping views of Venice’s rooftops and the vibrant Piazza San Marco—a perfect spot to pause, take it all in, and snap that unforgettable photo.

All options begin at Piazzetta San Marco, right in the heart of the city. Your ticket also gives you access to three additional cultural gems nearby: Museo Correr, the National Archaeological Museum, and the Monumental Rooms of the Biblioteca Marciana. You’ll have three days to visit them, with typical closing times around 4 PM in the low season and 6 PM in the high season. If you're only in Venice for an afternoon or your tour wraps up later in the day, it's worth planning ahead so you don’t miss out on these quieter, often overlooked treasures.

No matter which path you choose, you’ll leave with a deeper connection to Venice, unforgettable memories, and a new appreciation for the magic woven into its stones, stories, and skyline.
