Doge’s Palace
Venice's former seat of government combines grand state rooms with a darker prison route in a ticketed palace beside St Mark's Square.
Why go
Follow the sequence from courtyard to council rooms to understand how the republic presented power. The Bridge of Sighs and prison cells change the tone of the visit, while the Gothic exterior can be studied from the waterfront. This is a defined museum visit, separate from wandering Venice.
What to look for
Gothic waterfront façade.
Great council chamber.
Useful to know
