Do I need to print my ticket?

No — your mobile ticket is accepted at the door. Simply show the QR code on your phone screen at the pre-paid entrance lane.

Which entrance do I use?

Head to the Doge's Palace entrance on Piazza San Marco and look for the lane labelled 'pre-paid ticket'. Do not join the standard queue.

What's the last admission time?

The last admission is 1 hour and 30 minutes before the palace closes.

Does my ticket cover the Bridge of Sighs and the other museums?

Yes. Your admission includes the Bridge of Sighs, the Armory, the first floor of the Museo Correr, the Archaeological Museum, and the Marciana National Library — all valid within 24 hours of entering the Doge's Palace.

Is the palace suitable for young children?

Yes, and a dedicated infant ticket is available for children aged 0–5. The palace has multiple floors and some uneven historic surfaces, so a compact pushchair is advisable.

How long should I allow for the visit?

Most visitors spend between 1.5 and 2.5 hours inside the palace. If you plan to visit the linked museums on the same day, allow additional time.
