St. Mark's Basilica & Doge's Palace: After-closing Entry + Guided Tour
About this experience
Explore St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace on a late afternoon tour. Meet at the winged lion statue in St. Mark's Square.
Begin the tour as the Doge's Palace closes for the day. See the rulers' apartments and frescoes by Veronese and Tintoretto in the Hall of the Great Council.
Learn about the art, the doge veiled in black, and how the Dukes rose to power. Visit the massive armory and prison cells, and walk the Bridge of Sighs from the inside.
After a short break, visit St. Mark's Basilica, now free from the daytime crowds, and admire its Byzantine beauty.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
