Admire the breathtaking beauty of 'Paradise', the world's largest painting, and be dazzled by the intricate details of the golden staircase, the Parliament and the inner court.

Thanks to the skip-the-line ticket, you will have immediate access to this extraordinary monument with no waiting time. Don't miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the history and grandeur of the Doge's Palace!

Your guide will take you to the Bridge of Sighs, a passageway that leads you directly to the dank and dark prison cells of the Doge's Palace. The bridge is famous because prisoners would sigh as they crossed it, admiring sadly a free world for the last time.

Lastly, visit on your own the Royal Palace in St. Mark's Square. Here you will discover the Venice lifestyle in the past while entering spaces such as the Empress Sissi Rooms and the Napoleon Dance Hall.
