Doge’s Palace is an essential destination for visitors to Venice—melding drama, history, and visual splendor. The grandeur of its architecture and the emotional contrast between gilded state rooms and somber prisons craft a compelling narrative of power and justice. Guided tours bring hidden areas to life; self-led visits still impress, though reservation is recommended to avoid long waits.

The art in the palace was amazing. My only criticism was that the website said small backpacks were allowed. Mine, however, was not allowed so it had to be stored. Other people were, however, allowed to take theirs. My tickets were in mine and we hadn't realised we'd need to show them again. Fortunately we had them on one of our phones.

One of the most beautiful and interesting palaces I've ever visited! It is a must see if you go to Venice. Skip the line was great instead of waiting in the August sun. There was also an art exhibition in one of the palace areas which was fascinating and only €2 each! Remember to take cash if you want to see it though

    The entrance was very fast, we did not queue just one to pass the security check, the visit was great, it included all the palace including the bridge of sighs.
