Enter the world of Venice<\/strong> at the Doge<\/strong> palace<\/strong> the rich nerve center of a maritime republic that determined the Mediterranean<\/strong> commerce and politics. Through its pink Verona<\/strong> marble and Istrian<\/strong> stone portal, you will discover large chambers, council-halls, and the sumptuous residences in which the Doge<\/strong> held his ambassadors and directed a city-state whose history is all diplomacy and merchandise. Cross the notorious Bridge<\/strong> of Sighs<\/strong> to the New<\/strong> Prisons<\/strong> and feel the melodramatic difference of greatness and punishment art and power are still resonant in every passage.<\/p>\n

What your Doge\u2019s Palace ticket typically includes and why it matters<\/h2>\n

Using Tiqets Fast Track Entry, you enter the palace through a priority lane, and you do not only access the palace and Bridge<\/strong> of Sighs<\/strong>, but also the first floor of Museo<\/strong> Correr<\/strong>, Archaeological<\/strong> Museum<\/strong>, and Marciana<\/strong> National<\/strong> Library<\/strong>. Both those packages make a single ticket a mini-tour of Venetian<\/strong> art, city history and classical collections perfect when you want to bridge the gap between the might of the palace and the culture it preserved. On some of them, it provides an audio guide and live tours; select one of them that suits you better.<\/p>\n

These rooms are filled with history. The current Gothic<\/strong> palace was constructed in the year 14th century following the loss of a previous structure to fire. The interiors are adorned with gilded ceilings, triumphal arches, frescoed walls by Titian, Veronese, Tiepolo and Tintoretto. The Great Council were once held sitting under monumental canvases to discuss war, taxes, and alliances and courts and prisons were next door, linked by that one narrow passage over the canal. There are few places that depict justice and government with such a sight.<\/p>\n

Practicalities that will allow you to have a smooth visit<\/h3>\n

Present your phone ticket at the door no printing necessary. The last admission is usually 1 hour 30 minutes prior to closing; you can schedule your slot at such a time so that you can loiter in the halls you like most. The venue is also wheelchair friendly and Tiqets signs which are handy around the venue such as cloak rooms where heavy bags can be left. To have a less busy time, you should target weekdays, early morning, or late afternoon to avoid peak hours around St.<\/strong> Marks<\/strong> Square<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To get more background, choose a guided tour to be narrated in the state rooms and a guided story telling around the iconography of the palace. Prefer freedom? An independent tour provides you with the opportunity to create your own path and have more time with the artworks that address you. In any case, keep in mind that the visit to the Bridge<\/strong> of Sighs<\/strong> is included in the basic palace tour, and the museums adjacent to it enhance the image of Venice<\/strong> as empire and metropolis the place where ritual, art, and government came together.<\/p>\n
