Doge's Palace Tour with Skip the Line

Doge's Palace Tour with Skip the Line
From USD $70.00
  • Duration: 75 Minutes (approx.)
  • Location: Venice
  • Product code: CF-DOG

Great for history buffs who want an in-depth (and partially independent) exploration of the Doge’s Palace, this tour allows access to both the palace’s most spectacular public areas—like the fresco-lined council halls and salons where senators once gathered—and also its most secret passageways chambers, including prison cells and rooms where criminal inquisitions were held. Accompanying you for part of the tour will be an expert, English-speaking guide whose knowledge illuminates the history and significance behind the palace; there will also be ample time during which you may explore on your own.  


What We Love About This Tour:

  • Marveling at the grand salons, halls, and chambers where great leaders of the Venetian Republic once gathered surrounded by Tintoretto and Veronese frescoes

  • Learning about the proud history of the Venetian Republic, a formidable hub of economic and trading power for more than 1,000
    years

  • Discovering the unsettling, dark secrets of the palace, including its torture room and prison cells (where Casanova was once incarcerated)

  • Walking across the Bridge of Sighs, whose barred stone windows offered long-ago convicts their last views of Venice
