The palace was the residence of the Doge of Venice, the supreme authority of the Republic of Venice. It is a palace built in Venetian Gothic style, and one of the main landmarks of the city of Venice.

Book in advance for the guided secret tour that takes you out of the gilded reception rooms and into the old offices, meeting rooms and even torture chambers where the real business was conducted.

Definitely a place you don’t want to miss. Book in advance the « secret tour » to visit the other parts of the building which are not part of the regular tour. It’s impressive.

Beautiful interiors. Make sure to take a tour to appreciate the history of the Doges. Deposit the backpack once you are through the entrance. The tickets also allow you to visit the Correr Museum.

Absolutely sign up ahead of time for the Secret Itineraries tour. You skip the line, get an interesting tour and are free to wander the Palace afterwards.

Secret itinerary tour is a must, casanova story is really interesting.

Wonderful and extremely huge Palace. A definite must-see in Venice. Just buy your tickets before and save a lot of time for taking another queue than most of the other people.

The visit combines the lavish Doge’s apartments as well as the stunning 1250 squared meters “Sala del Maggior Consiglio”, a gilded ceiling Higher Council Hall

Better to take the ticket and enter the Palace. Everything is huge, as for Venice, great art on walls and ceilings, impressive tour through the Bridge of Whispers to Prison facilities!

Understanding the history and importance of the Doge at the time. You get to walk inside the bridge of sighs. It’s a lot of large rooms and paintings as per usual with a palace.

In St Mark's square- Walk towards the water and turn left, go to the top of the bridge to get a great view of the Bridge of Sighs!

Well organized progression from room to room makes it easy to self-guide. Audio guide not necessary; written guides are abundant. Go very early or very late to avoid crowds and tour groups.

When you enter the inner courtyard, you'll see a flight of stairs to the Doge's private quarters, known as the "Scala dei Giganti" and flanked by huge statues of Mars and Neptune.

Ponte dei Sospiri -the entrance of prison- is a part of this palace. It is said that the prison becomes too cold in winter and too hot in summer which ensures the prisoners are always tormented.

Not too crowded, really cool place to visit, Tintoretto and Veronese paintings. If you have an hour I do recommend to visit.

You have to do it, but the huge tours/cruise ships make it pretty annoying. Do the audio tour!

Amazing building for a gallery. If you have a spare couple of hours it's definitely worth it

If you are visiting during winter, do not forget your warmest jacket. Although this place is amazing the cold may ruin your visit.
