Rute

1. Begin your guided tour at the meeting point, then enter the Doge’s Palace through its majestic marble courtyard, a stunning example of Venetian Gothic architecture. Step through a small doorway into the Pozzi, the dark, damp underground cells where prisoners endured harsh confinement in silence and isolation. Hear haunting stories of their suffering, carved and drawn into the walls. Continue up a narrow staircase to the offices of the Ducal Notary and Deputato alla Segreta, key figures in the Republic’s political engine. Explore the grand Chamber of the Secret Chancellery, lined with ancient cabinets full of public and classified records, then enter the chilling Torture Chamber, where your guide will explain grim interrogation practices. Visit the Piombi, attic prison cells for political detainees, and the attic armory showcasing 16th-century weapons. Finally, step into the feared Chamber of the Inquisitors, guardians of Venice’s darkest state secrets and political order.

2. After leaving the Doge’s Palace, your guide leads you just a short walk across the square to Saint Mark’s Basilica, where you’ll enjoy skip-the-line access to one of Venice’s most iconic landmarks. Inside, marvel at the stunning Byzantine mosaics that cover the walls and ceilings, depicting stories from the Old Testament and the life of Saint Mark. Your guide will share fascinating insights into how these mosaics, spanning over 8,000 square meters, reflect the fusion of Eastern and Western artistic influences. Walk on the intricate marble inlays of the basilica’s floors while learning about its unique architectural history. Next, explore the Treasury, home to sacred relics and religious artifacts from centuries of Venetian devotion. Ascend to the Museum of Saint Mark’s, where you can admire the mosaics up close and get a deeper understanding of the basilica’s artistic and historical significance. The tour concludes here, but feel free to stay and explore at your leisure.

About Venedig

Venedig flyder i en lagune med over hundrede øer, en bilfri by af kanaler, paladser og broer, hvor hver gåtur ender et uventet sted.

Canal Grande bugter sig gennem byen i et stort omvendt S, kantet af paladser og krydset af Rialtobroen. Nær udmundingen samler Markuspladsen Markuskirken med sine gyldne mosaikker, Dogepaladset, Sukkenes Bro og det høje murstensklokketårn. Vandbusser og gondoler viser byen fra den vinkel, den blev bygget til at blive set fra.
