Doge’s Palace Secret Itineraries Tour: Fast Track

Guided tour

Experience description

Explore the clandestine world of the old Venetian Republic with a tour behind the curtain of the Doge's Palace. Join a friendly guide, waltz past the long lines outside, and tiptoe through the hidden corridors and secret rooms usually off-limits to tourists. Hear real stories of deception, political subterfuge, and cruelty worthy of a Shakespearean tragedy, and browse some of Venice's most stunning Renaissance masterpieces in magnificent council chambers.
