Doge's Palace

It was wonderful to get inside the Doge's Palace-it is very impressive! The halls,the stairways,the artwork- it makes You admire and wonder. And to get to the bridge of sighs-wonderful.Amazing!

The palace was the residence of the Doge of Venice, the supreme authority of the Republic of Venice. It is a palace built in Venetian Gothic style, and one of the main landmarks of the city of Venice .

Definitely a place you don’t want to miss. Book in advance the « secret tour  » to visit the other parts of the building which are not part of the regular tour . It’s impressive.

Beautiful interiors . Make sure to take a tour to appreciate the history of the Doges. Deposit the backpack once you are through the entrance. The tickets also allow you to visit the Correr Museum .

Absolutely sign up ahead of time for the Secret Itineraries tour . You skip the line , get an interesting tour and are free to wander the Palace afterwards.

Impressive palace with excellent halls. Doge's hidden treasures tour was worth it, visiting different parts of the palace and learning a lot of interesting facts about the Venetian Republic.

Wonderful and extremely huge Palace . A definite must-see in Venice. Just buy your tickets before and save a lot of time for taking another queue than most of the other people.

Secret itinerary tour is a must, casanova story is really interesting.

Understanding the history and importance of the Doge at the time. You get to walk inside the bridge of sighs . It’s a lot of large rooms and paintings as per usual with a palace .

Better to take the ticket and enter the Palace . Everything is huge, as for Venice, great art on walls and ceilings, impressive tour through the Bridge of Whispers to Prison facilities!

Well organized progression from room to room makes it easy to self-guide. Audio guide not necessary; written guides are abundant. Go very early or very late to avoid crowds and tour groups.

The visit combines the lavish Doge’s apartments as well as the stunning 1250 squared meters “Sala del Maggior Consiglio”, a gilded ceiling Higher Council Hall

In St Mark's square- Walk towards the water and turn left, go to the top of the bridge to get a great view of the Bridge of Sighs !

You have to do it, but the huge tours/cruise ships make it pretty annoying. Do the audio tour !

Ponte dei Sospiri -the entrance of prison - is a part of this palace . It is said that the prison becomes too cold in winter and too hot in summer which ensures the prisoners are always tormented.

Not too crowded , really cool place to visit, Tintoretto and Veronese paintings . If you have an hour I do recommend to visit.

When you enter the inner courtyard , you'll see a flight of stairs to the Doge's private quarters, known as the "Scala dei Giganti" and flanked by huge statues of Mars and Neptune .

One of the beautiful buildings adorning piazza San Marco. Will have to return to visit the interior.

Beautiful palace ! In the palace prisons , there is a room that displays prisoner graffiti , but also look for etchings on cell window sills. In the armory, you'll also find a chastity belt on display.

Amazing building for a gallery . If you have a spare couple of hours it's definitely worth it

Must visit. So crazy, and amazing, palace . More impressive then many Royal palaces I have visited!

If you are visiting during winter, do not forget your warmest jacket . Although this place is amazing the cold may ruin your visit.

I could spend hours here just marveling at the architecture . So much more impressive than the knock-off in Vegas.

Get your tickets in advance and stand in the right queue, that's faster.

Visit the Doge's Palace and follow the self guided tour . The meeting rooms are amazing and the art is stunning.

They wand you immediately upon entry, before you reach the ticket office . Pull your mobile, keys, coins etc. out of your pockets ahead of time.

The "secret itinerary" is amazing. You can see the real prisons and the Chanchellor's offices and know more about the story of Casanova, who was jailed here and escaped.

Wonderful way to while away an afternoon. Check the prison on the other side of the Bridge of Sighs

Definitely take a tour to learn more about the place.
