Doge's Palace family tickets and tips

What a family pays

Example: two parents with children aged 8 and 12 pay four reduced tickets, €15 each, instead of two full and two reduced.

The official shop says the Seniors + Junior offer applies from 1 January 2026.

Rules for children

• Children under 12 are not admitted without their parents or another responsible adult.
• The guided Secret Itineraries and Hidden Treasures tours don't admit children under 6.
• The palace has a Baby Pit-stop room for breastfeeding and changing, a lift and a free cloakroom.
• The regular route is fully accessible; the prisons, the Armoury and the Secret Itineraries are not.

MUVE family activities

MUVE Education runs activities for families at the Doge's Palace, for example "The Lion Hunt" for children aged 5–10 (1 hour 30) and a two-hour visit for ages 9–13 that ends on the Bridge of Sighs and in the New Prisons. They cost €100 per group of up to 10 people, museum entry included, and are booked online in advance.

Tips for visiting with children

• Book an entry time: you'll avoid waiting in line with the children.
• The Bridge of Sighs and the prisons at the end of the route are usually the part children remember.
• Leave suitcases at the hotel: luggage over 1 linear metre isn't allowed.
