About

Schnelle Fakten: The palace was once the residence of the Venetian doges and served as the seat of government. Visitors can wander through grand chambers adorned with intricate frescoes, including works by Tintoretto and Veronese.

Highlights: Explore the ornate Bridge of Sighs connecting the palace to its historic prison, where prisoners glimpsed their last view of Venice. The grand council chamber features an enormous ceiling painting celebrating Venice's naval victories, filling the room with drama and awe.

Insider tips

  • Wear comfortable shoes for walking on stone floors and stairs.
  • Snap photos at the Bridge of Sighs for iconic views, best during golden hour.
  • Skip the audio guide if you're short on time and focus on the main chambers instead.
  • Buy tickets online in advance to avoid long lines, especially in summer.
