    Great visit. We liked being able to go anytime during the selected day. We went in the afternoon. Not very crowded. We did not really use the audio guide too much. A little clunky to navigate and our phone batteries were low. Would have preferred to use equipment from the venue vs our phones.

    We were delighted with the palace. It was great and the entrance fee was justified. There is an elevator on request for people with walking disabilities. Very friendly staff.

    We opted for a single entry ticket, but without an audioguide. At first, we had to queue for a few minutes, but soon the museum staff came to collect us with our special tickets. This type of ticket gives you access to the entrance courtyard, the many halls of power, and rooms displaying armor and weapons. You'll cross the Bridge of Sighs, which is a kind of tunnel, to access the prisons on the two lower floors. You won't be able to visit the rooftop cells where Casanova was held, or the secret itinerary rooms.

    Ease. Even though the city was packed, we were able to get in quickly. What I liked most: the palazzo, of course. You never get tired of seeing it, I would have spent hours sitting in front of the wonderful painting by Tintoretto. I missed a bit of information about the different saints and characters because in the distance, I could not distinguish the attributes well, but that's stuff for the art-enthusiasts.
