Full description

Priority admission lets visitors enter Doge's Palace and follow the route independently, using an audio guide on their own smartphone to explain the council rooms, staircases and artworks. The route crosses the Bridge of Sighs into the prisons, contrasting the palace's public splendour with its judicial role.

The ticket also includes the Correr Museum, the National Archaeological Museum and the Marciana Library, and a complimentary glassblowing demonstration at a separate workshop near St. Mark's Square.

Reviewers noted that audio setup and entry instructions could be confusing at first, and that no live guide is included in this option.
