Doge's Palace and St Mark's Basilica: combined tickets

The Doge's Palace and St Mark's Basilica stand side by side, but there is no official ticket for both: the palace is run by the city's civic museums (MUVE), the basilica by the Procuratoria di San Marco.

What the official tickets cover

  • St. Mark's Square Museums (€35): the Doge's Palace, the Museo Correr, the National Archaeological Museum and the Monumental Rooms of the Marciana Library. It's the official "4 in 1" combined ticket for the square.
  • Museum Pass (€50): the same four plus the other civic museums.
  • St Mark's Basilica: sold separately, with timed entry, by the basilica's own ticket office.

For basilica prices, hours and rules, see our sister guide stmarksbasilica.venezia.it.

Partner combos: palace and basilica in one booking

Booking platforms sell both together, with timed entries or with a guide. They cost more than two separate official tickets but save you two bookings.

Planning both in one day

  • The palace is open every day; book its entry time. Without a slot you get in only from 12pm.
  • Leave time between the two: the basilica has its own timed entries and security checks.
  • The Porta della Carta, where you leave the palace, is right next to the basilica.
  • The Correr and the other square museums can wait: the ticket covers them up to 3 days later.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a combined ticket for the Doge's Palace and St Mark's Basilica?

Not an official one: the two are run by different bodies. Booking platforms sell combined products.

What is the St. Mark's Square Museums ticket?

The official combined ticket for the Doge's Palace, the Museo Correr, the National Archaeological Museum and the Marciana Library rooms: €35, €30 online well ahead.

Which should I visit first?

Either works. Book the palace's entry time first, then a basilica slot a couple of hours later or earlier.
