OPENING TIMES:
The Palazzo Ducale is open seven days a week. The museum opens to the public at 09.00 AM; from November 1st to March 31st the palace closes at 06.00 PM, otherwise at 07.00 PM (the ticket office closes one hour before these times). Closed Christmas day and New Year's Day.
PRICING:
Please note that a ticket purchased for the Doge's Palace is, as of April 2010, a 'San Marco Museum Plus' ticket, to give it its official title. This means that as well as getting you into the Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale), this ticket also gets you into all of the museums in Piazza San Marco (Museo Correr, Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Sale Monumentali della Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana) as well as one other Venice civic museum; the choice here is between the Ca' Rezzonico, Palazzo Mocenigo, Casa di Carlo Goldoni, Ca' Pesaro, Museo del Vetro (Murano Glass Museum), Museo del Merletto (closed for restoration until October 2010) and the Museo di Storia Naturale (Natrual History Museum). Phew. The ticket is valid for three months, but may only be used once for each museum.
Prices include booking fees and service charges, and also cover entrance to any special exhibitions that may be showing during your visit. There is no charge whatsoever for children under six years of age (they do not need to reserve). Students aged between 14 and 29 or anyone aged between 6 to 14 or over the age of 65 qualify for a reduced price ticket; there is still, however, a charge to cover booking fees, service charges and entry to special exhibits. We are only able to make bookings of this sort if they are part of a paying group.

HOW YOU'LL GET YOUR TICKETS:
To reserve tickets for the Doge's Palace, just fill out the booking
form, give us a preference for date and time (dates are in European
DD/MM/YYYY format), supply us with credit card details, and we'll
do the rest. There will be no charge whatsoever until we confirm
your
reservation. We'll then point you to our secure
page, where you can print out your entry voucher. Print it out, take
it with you
to the Palazzo and present it at the ticket desk ... they will
swap it for your entry ticket. As simple as that!
(... just as simple, should you be looking for a Venice hotel, is the instant booking service of ahotelinitaly.com!)
You won't have to join any queues, but nonetheless we'd advise you to arrive 15 minutes before your entry time. Please note that the ticket office closes one hour before the Palace itself closes, so be there ahead of time if you have made a booking for late in the day.
Please be prepared to show some ID - It is sometimes difficult for Italian officials to understand that not all countries require their citizens to carry ID cards, if indeed they are issued in said countries at all. You will often find that nothing other than a Passport or Driving Licence (with photograph) will suffice.
