Important Information

Last entry times apply to Doge’s Palace and prisons access — the interior bridge passage is part of those routes.

Early morning or late afternoon offers gentler light, shorter lines, and softer colors on the stone.

Reserve timed palace entries, especially for weekends, holidays, and peak season.

Free‑day schemes may not apply to specific palace routes or special tours — check details.
