The Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale) has represented the seat of Venetian political power for centuries. In its splendid rooms, plastered and immersed in hundreds of masterpieces of painting, the Duke and his Council controlled the fate of a thousand-year-old republic. Together with a guide, you'll discover the history of the European Middle Ages and the centuries immediately following, admiring the beautiful rooms along the way.

You'll be surprised by the rich details of the golden staircase and the realism of the scenes depicted by many artists who decorated this building. You will also have the opportunity to cross the Bridge of Sighs and enter the Venetian prisons.

    Wir waren sehr zufrieden bis das es die Kopfhörer nicht auf deutsch gibt. Davon sind wir und auch im Reisebüro ausgegangen das man die Kopfhörer selber auf die gewünschte Sprache einstellen kann. Leider nein. Da wir der englischen Sprache nicht mächtig sind konnten wir nur so mitlaufen und uns alles ansehen.

    Point de rencontre facile à trouver et très bien organisé. Bonne prise en charge. Pour la visite on était relié au guide par un écouteur qui nous permettait de bien entendre ce qu’elle nous disait sans qu’on soit collé à ses lèvres .
