Doge’s Palace will no doubt be a highlight of your trip to Venice. Once home to the Duke of Venice and the city’s courts, this palace is at the center of Venetian history, and fell witness to the rise and fall of the republic.

In the company of your expert, English-speaking guide, you’ll visit the palace’s most iconic sights. Follow your guide through the museums and to the most important rooms, containing frescoes and works by Venetian artists such as Tintoretto, who is famous for the unrivalled speed at which he painted.
