Doge's Palace ticket questions that affect what you should buy

Use these checks before choosing between official Doge's Palace tickets and partner products.

Booking online at least 30 days ahead cuts the adult price from €35 to €30.

Doge's Palace: visitor information

Who gets reduced or free entry to the Doge's Palace?

Children aged 6 to 14, students aged 15 to 25, visitors over 65 and Rolling Venice or ISIC card holders pay €15. Under-6s, Venetian residents and disabled visitors with a helper enter free.

Families of two adults and at least one child aged up to 16 all pay the €15 reduced price.

Doge's Palace: visitor information

What are the Doge's Palace Secret Itineraries?

They are official guided tours of rooms off the ordinary route, lasting about 75 minutes, sold with the St Mark's Square Museums ticket for €40. Children under 6 cannot join, and the route has narrow stairs.

The Secret Itineraries, Prisons and Armoury are not accessible to wheelchair users.
