"Fast track" and reserved-entry tickets

Every online ticket for the Doge's Palace comes with an entry time, and MUVE admits tickets without a time slot only from 12pm. "Fast track" or "reserved entry" products from the platforms are timed tickets for the St. Mark's Square Museums: they don't give access to rooms the official ticket doesn't.

Tickets with an audio guide

The official ticket already includes the MUVE app audio guide in 6 languages. Partner audio guides are an alternative if you'd like a different commentary.

Guided tours

MUVE runs two guided tours itself: the Secret Itineraries and The Doge's Hidden Treasures, both €40. Platforms also sell guided visits of the standard route, sometimes with the prisons or St Mark's Basilica.

With St Mark's Basilica

There is no official ticket for both the palace and the basilica: they are run by different bodies. Platforms combine them in one booking. More on the with St Mark's Basilica page.

Museum Pass

The official Museum Pass costs €50 and covers the Doge's Palace and the other civic museums for six months. Platforms sell it too, some with a timed entry to the palace.
