Doge’s Palace, or Palazzo Ducale, is a stunning masterpiece of Gothic architecture nestled in the heart of Venice, Italy. This grand structure, once the residence of the Doge of Venice, is an emblem of the city’s power and wealth during the Venetian Republic’s golden age. Its facade, adorned with pink Verona marble and white Istrian stone, overlooks the Venetian lagoon, offering a breathtaking view.

Visitors to Doge’s Palace can explore its opulent rooms filled with priceless art, including works by Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto. The palace’s most famous room, the Grand Council Chamber, is a must-see, boasting one of the world’s largest oil paintings, “Paradise,” by Tintoretto. Another highlight is the Bridge of Sighs, a beautiful enclosed bridge connecting the palace to the old prisons, offering a poignant reminder of Venice’s complex history.

Plan your visit

  1. Wear comfortable shoes as you will need to walk up and down the many steps of the palace.
  2. Don’t forget your camera! The Doge’s Palace is truly a photographer’s paradise!
  3. Bring a bottle of water with you - it can get hot in Venice during summer months, so stay hydrated while exploring!
  4. Buy tickets in advance online to avoid long queues when visiting the palace - they do sell out quickly, especially during high season (April-October).
  5. Pick up an audio guide or book a guided tour for more detailed insights into the history of this amazing building!
