This tour, combining an immersive audio tour with a detailed map of the site, is the perfect company for Doge's Palace and its riveting stories.

At the Doge's palace from Porta del Frumento, you will encounter the enormous interior courtyard. You will gain valuable insights into the long and eventful history of the building before you continue your tour to the impressive Scala dei Giganti.

Once you've climbed up the lush and highly ornate Scala d'Oro, you will step inside the institutional chambers of the palace.
