Doge's Palace ticket optimizer
Pick your days, age, and group size. The tool returns the cheapest ticket variant that covers what you'll actually visit.
What this solves
Doge's Palace is the most-visited museum in Venice. The ticket structure is dense. There are at least four variants: full palace only, with Secret Itineraries (a guided tour), the combined circuit (Doge's + Correr + Arsenale), and combined circuit with Secret Itineraries. Tourists routinely buy the wrong one. This tool computes the right ticket for your pattern.
How to read the result
"Recommended" is the cheapest ticket that covers everything in your plan. "Total" is the cost for your group. "Combined circuit" is the bundle with Museo Correr (Piazza San Marco) and Arsenale (Castello). "Skip-line" applies at peak times; the basic package sometimes skips the rope.
Secret Itineraries is a guided 1-hour tour through hidden chambers — limited to 25 people per tour. Buy ahead for July-September.
