St. Mark's Basilica & Doge's Palace: Guided Tour + Terrace Access

About this experience

St. Mark's Basilica & Doge's Palace: Guided Tour + Terrace Access is a guided tour at St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, combining entry to two of the city's most significant historic structures with terrace access included. The tour takes in the interior of St. Mark's Basilica, a Byzantine cathedral whose origins date to the ninth century, alongside the Doge's Palace, the former seat of Venetian political power. Visitors walk through the palace's ceremonial halls and cross the Bridge of Sighs, the covered stone bridge that once connected the palace to its adjoining prison. Terrace access allows for elevated views across St. Mark's Square and the surrounding lagoon. A guide leads the group throughout, providing historical and architectural context for both buildings. Tickets cover the guided experience across all included sites.
