Venice: Basilica, Doge’s Palace, Bridge of Sighs Guided Tour – Venice, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

Enjoy the best of Venice on a small group guided tour and visit three of the city’s most iconic monuments, the St. Mark’s Basilica, the Bridge of Sighs, and the Doge’s Palace. Skip the long lines outside with our skip-the-line tickets to save precious time.

Discover the imposing Doge’s Palace with its splendid rooms and hundreds of masterpieces. Here, the Doge and his Council controlled the fate of a thousand-year history Republic. Live it together with a guide that shows you the halls of power, plunging you into a very particular historical context: the European Middle Ages and the immediately following centuries.

Then, cross the world-famous Bridge of Sighs and visit the humid and dark Piombi Prisons. Its name comes from the suggestion that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells.

Continue the visit with the main hall and the shining golden naves of St. Mark’s Basilica, learn about the history of the artworks decorating the church, and if foreseen in the visit option you chose reach the Basilica museum.
