Accessible via lift to the first and second floors, the palace is a labyrinth of ornate chambers adorned with masterpieces by Tintoretto and other Venetian masters. Explore the opulent halls and immerse yourself in the history of the Venetian Republic, a testament to the city's rich past.
St. Mark's Basilica
St. Mark's Basilica, originally the Doge's private chapel, stands as a symbol of Venice's splendor. Known as the 'Gold Basilica,' its interior is lavishly decorated with shimmering golden mosaics that tell stories of faith and Venetian history. This Byzantine masterpiece is a must-see, offering a glimpse into the city's religious and artistic heritage.
Bridge of Sights
The Bridge of Sights, an iconic Venetian landmark, offers a glimpse into the city's darker history. While the internal passage connecting the Doge’s Palace to the New Prison is inaccessible to wheelchairs due to its narrow structure, you can admire the bridge's exterior from the outside. It offers a poignant reminder of Venice's past as a center of justice and intrigue. Its delicate stone tracery belies the somber journey of prisoners who once crossed it, catching their last glimpse of freedom.
Rialto District

The Rialto Bridge, once the only crossing of the Grand Canal, stands as a testament to Venetian ingenuity and a symbol of the city.
