Very well organized and presented. It was nice to have a small group also”.

The Palazzo Ducale (or Doge's Palace), was the old seat of government of Venice.
This stunning Gothic building was once at the hub of a naval empire whose power and reach for a millennium belied Venice's geographical size.
The building took shape between the 9th and 15th century, and the later parts are enormously impressive, with grand walls of white limestone and pink marble.
The evolution of the palace over the centuries makes for an architectural tour in itself - here Renaissance classicism, here early Gothic, and everywhere sumptuous works of art.
The Doge's Apartment is not currently included in tours, due to preparations for a Marco Polo exhibition in April 2024
Doge Palace's tickets & tours
Tintoretto, Veronese, Pietro Lombardo, Titian and a dozen more are exquisitely represented. On and on we go, through magnificent rooms and then, poignantly, we end at the Bridge of Sighs, where prisoners would take their final walk.
For more visitor information, we have a history page with images here, and a location map here.
The Palazzo Ducale is open as follows:
- Thursday: 2PM to 6PM
- Friday, Saturday, Sunday: 9AM to 6PM
- The ticket office closes one hour before the Palazzo closing time. Closed Christmas day and New Year's Day.
We offer a range of guided tours, as well as standard-entrance tickets; the buttons below will give greater detail on the tickets and tours we offer throughout the year, but it doesn't follow that they're always available ... many are seasonal, some only run on certain days of the week, so please do use our calendar to check availability!

He is extremely knowledgeable giving us a great insight into the history, culture, politics, economy, architecture and life in Venice. Stefano made this tour most enjoyable and was very generous with his time . Thank you Stefano and hoping life will be good to you. ............ Joyce and Robert5 starsOP, United States
11th Sep 2019Great experience with an excellent guide. Highly recommend.5 starsMM, United Kingdom (Great Britain)
5th May 2019It would have been far easier to find the entrance if it simply said "USE WATERFRONT ENTRANCE" for Doges Palace. So simple.5 starsIC, South Africa
12th Apr 2019Our guide was delightful Thank you5 starsCA, United Kingdom
24th Mar 2019If we didn't need to print out the voucher, that would remove another stage of getting tickets... A lot of services do not need paper, trains, payments and other tickets including theatres.
