About us

We are an independent guide for visitors to the Doge's Palace in Venice. We don't belong to the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia (MUVE), which runs the palace, and we don't sell tickets.

What this website is

dogespalacetickets.guide brings together what you need to plan a visit: which ticket to buy, prices, opening hours, discounts, the guided tours, the rooms and the prisons.

The official website of the Doge's Palace is palazzoducale.visitmuve.it; official tickets are sold on the MUVE shop and at the palace.

How we check our information

Every price, time and rule comes from an official MUVE page (or, for the access fee, from the City of Venice), which we cite at the end of each guide with the date we checked it. Historical details that the official pages don't give come from Wikipedia, and we say so.

The last full review of the official data was on 27 October 2026. When official pages disagree, for example the English and Italian versions, we show both rather than picking one. If you spot something that has changed, write to us.

Photos come from Wikimedia Commons under free licences, with author and licence shown.

How we are funded

Some links go to booking platforms such as Tiqets, GetYourGuide and Headout. If you book through them, the platform pays us a commission; your price doesn't change. These links are marked as sponsored and go straight to the platform.

The official ticket price is always shown for reference, even when it is lower than the platforms' prices.
