Explore two of Venice's most famous monuments with the St. Mark's Basilica + Doge's Palace Tour. Numerous works of art, hidden galleries, and majestic halls await you.

Tour Details

At the scheduled time, we'll meet at the designated meeting point to enter two of Venice's most emblematic buildings.

First, we'll visit the Doge's Palace, which represented the political power of Venice for centuries and served as the official residence of the Doges. We'll discuss the power held by these leaders as we enter the palace.

We will explore different rooms of this residence, view the great golden staircase, and admire works by artists such as Titian, Tintoretto, and Bellini. We will also cross the Bridge of Sighs to visit the dungeons.

The second part of the tour will focus on the St. Mark's Basilica Museum, where we'll discuss the origins of the Basilica dating back to 828 as we walk through the museum rooms.

During the tour, we will see the beautiful mosaics of the temple and the four Horses of St. Mark, which were brought from Constantinople. We'll share their history.

After approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, we will conclude the tour in St. Mark's Square.
