Doge's Palace tickets: which one to buy

There is no ticket for the Doge's Palace alone. You enter with the St. Mark's Square Museums ticket, the Museum Pass or a guided tour ticket that includes them, and online you choose an entry time.

An independent guide, not the official website of the Doge's Palace.

Doge's Palace: Every day from 9am; closes at 7pm from April to October and at 6pm from November to March. Last admission one hour before closing.

  • The Correr, the Archaeological Museum and the Marciana rooms can be visited the same day or up to 3 days later.
  • MUVE warns that holders of a ticket without a time slot are admitted to the Doge's Palace only from 12pm.
  • Each ticket allows one entry: once you leave, you can't go back in.

Where to buy

  • Official shop online (MUVE, on Vivaticket): the only way to get the cheaper online price.

Official tickets are not refundable, except at MUVE's discretion if an event is cancelled or for force majeure.

Partner tickets and tours
