The Venice Winter Pass presents an engaging exploration of Venice, merging guided tours and virtual reality experiences.

Embark on a guided walking tour through the heart of Venice, where you'll uncover the city's iconic sites. Over the course of an hour, you will traverse Piazza San Marco, Campo Santa Maria Formosa, Santi Giovanni e Paolo, and savour views of Rialto from Riva del Carbon. Complement this experience with an audio-guided vaporetto ride along the Grand Canal, learning about palaces, gondolas, and the splendour of Venice.

The pass also includes a virtual reality experience that brings to life the rise of the Doge’s Palace, the transformation of the Rialto Bridge, and Carnival celebrations. You'll have the opportunity to explore a Venetian palace and gondola in 3D. Gain skip-the-line access to the atmospheric Prisons Palace and the modern exhibition at Procuratie Vecchie. Here, you can visit the prisons connected to the Doge’s Palace by the Bridge of Sighs, famously known as Casanova's escape route, and discover interactive exhibits while enjoying panoramic views from the restored Procuratie Vecchie in Piazza San Marco.

Your pass also includes a 2-day water bus ticket for unlimited vaporetto rides, ideal for discovering Venice’s islands and hidden treasures. To further enhance your journey, utilise the city app which provides audio guides for over 200 points of interest in 52 languages, curated itineraries and a Marco Polo AI assistant to help uncover hidden gems.
