Step inside to admire vast halls adorned with masterpieces by Tintoretto and Veronese, walk across the legendary Bridge of Sighs, and venture into the atmospheric old prisons below.

    1 hAdmission included

  2. Discover the world-famous Bridge of Sighs, one of Venice’s most evocative and romantic landmarks. This elegant white limestone bridge links the Doge’s Palace to the ancient prisons, a passage once taken by those condemned to captivity. According to legend, prisoners would sigh as they caught their final glimpse of Venice’s shimmering lagoon through its small stone windows. As you cross the bridge today, you’ll feel the weight of history and the quiet beauty that has made it a timeless symbol of the city’s soul.

About Venice

Venice floats on a lagoon of more than a hundred islands, a city of canals, palaces and bridges with no cars, where every walk ends somewhere unexpected.

The Grand Canal sweeps through the city in a great reversed S, lined with palaces and crossed by the Rialto Bridge. Near its mouth, Piazza San Marco gathers St Mark's Basilica with its golden mosaics, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and the tall brick campanile. Water buses and gondolas show the city from the angle it was built to be seen.

Top-ranked sights in Venice: St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), Grand Canal.
