Guided tours and audio guide at the Doge's Palace

The included audio guide

The audio guide in the MUVE app is included in the ticket price and is available in 6 languages: Italian, English, French, Spanish, German and Korean. Download it before you arrive and bring headphones.

The two official guided tours

Both are by booking only, include the four museums on St Mark's Square and do not admit children under 6. Times in English and French are on the Secret Itineraries and opening times pages.

The Doge's Hidden Treasures

This tour takes you into the doge's restored private spaces: the Foscari Terrace and Loggia, the Sala dei Forzieri (the old treasure room), the large St Christopher frescoed by Titian along a steep staircase and finally the Chiesetta, the doge's private chapel.

The meeting point is given differently: the English page says the Porta della Carta, the Italian one the Terrazza Foscara. Check your booking confirmation.

Activities for families and groups

• Families: MUVE Education runs activities at the palace for children aged 5 to 14 with their parents (for example “The Lion Hunt”), at €100 per group of up to 10 people, admission included.
• Exclusive visits: for groups, after closing time too, with the purchase of at least 20 tickets at €80 (guide not included).
• Groups of more than 10 without an official guide must use whisper radio headsets, €1 per person.

Guided tours from the platforms

Partners offer guided tours of the normal route, sometimes with the prisons or with St Mark's Basilica. Next to each tour you'll find its rating and number of reviews.
