Discover two iconic symbols of Venice: The Doge's Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica. These landmarks are renowned not only for their stunning beauty but also for the fascinating stories and legendary characters that surround them.

Your journey begins at one of the world's most beautiful cathedrals, St. Mark’s Basilica. This architectural marvel is a prime example of Byzantine art and symbolizes Venice’s historical ties with the East. Your visit will include access to both the Museum and Terrace on its upper floor.

Next, you'll explore The Doge's Palace. As you wander through its magnificent halls, it feels as though you've stepped back into the era of the Republic of Venice. Here, you can admire priceless treasures, art masterpieces, and frescos that have stood the test of time.

The experience continues with a visit to the Prisons. A narrow corridor leads you there via the celebrated “Bridge of Sighs.”
