What travelers are saying
- RobEaston, MD32 contributionsWe had a guided tour of St Marks and Doge’s Palace. Our guide Stefano was full of knowledge and wit. We learned so much, saw wonderful paintings, and got to walk the Bridge of Sigh’s! Memorable for sure!!!Written October 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AeOVAPhilomont, VA151 contributionsIconic and moving. So much art poured into its interior!
We stood in line for entrance tickets (only E1.50 as I recall) and the line was pretty fast.
Don’t try to sit or snack or picnic in front of the Basilica. Monitors will admonish you at best and fine you at worst.Written October 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You should definitely visit it!Written August 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- divakernRock Hill, SC673 contributionsWe downloaded the app for the self-guided tour. The signs were clear and descriptions very good. It was a great experience to see the inside of this historic opera house.Written September 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kleicSan Antonio, TX1,009 contributionsThis is an incredible place that's not as out of the way as you might think but somehow isn't on the itinerary of a lot of people visiting Venice (I'd been three times and never been before). If you're even remotely interested in the history of Venice itself, this is a must. And keep climbing: there are treasures galore on all three floors. The highlight for us was a wonderful guard named Angelo who clearly loves the place and showed us all sorts of secrets of the remarkable second floor (a doorbell! a peephole!) and told us wonderful stories about Tintoretto and the creation of all that art. If you're going for a visit, spend a little time meandering around the neighborhood as its charming and filled with lovely shops.Written October 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CMCHerne Bay, United Kingdom672 contributionsCame here on a Thursday morning as had some time to spend before our flight. Some interesting works, not a big museum, bought timed tickets in advance but they let us in 30 mins earlier than time booked. There is a Cafe which is pleasant, with indoor and outdoor seats, had a summer salad that was very good. Definitely worth a 90 minute visit.Written September 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- WikumjBromley, UK275 contributionsI recommend going to the Ponte del Academia bridge to enjoy fantastic views of this church over the canal, ahead of going to the church itself. The church itself is fine on the inside, and is free so worth stopping by if you are in the area, it just doesn't stand out compared to the other churches in the city.Written September 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jill T1 contributionWe had never been to an opera and I figured if we were gonna go, it was going to be in Italy. Musica a Palazzo was wonderful about emailing with us to set up the reservation and letting us know what we needed to be prepared ahead of time. The opera was a highlight of our trip abroad! The talent was wonderful and the interaction with the audience fun and engaging. We had a great time and the facility was beautiful! Highly recommend spending an evening in Venice taking advantage of this.Written September 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CMCHerne Bay, United Kingdom672 contributionsCame here on a Wednesday, some nice products here, bought some biscuits and chocolates etc, probably a bit overpriced compared to same products online. Alajmo cafe / restaurant on ground floor is worth a look.Written September 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AllegraHampshireHampshire62 contributionsA little treasure trove. I loved my visit to Libreria Aqua Alta. I love books, and I love history - it's perfect. Yes, it's chaotic, but if you expect it to be you won't be surprised. Piles of books everywhere - fabulous!Written August 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ace6of6ClubsCalgary, Canada124 contributionsThis is an absolute must-see when in Venice, right up there with St. Mark's. Absolutely beautiful 18th century palace, and there's an ACTV stop right next to it, so it's easy to cross the canal to visit. Lots of great English info in the many rooms. Would recommend over Ca d'Oro, Fenice, and possibly even the Doge's Palace.Written August 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anthony KWarwick, UK440 contributionsGood place to go on a rainy day. Fantastic collection of paintings, well lit (unlike many galleries we’ve visited). Inexpensive. Admittance may be a few at a time when busy so be prepared to wait outside for a bit. Disappointed that a number of rooms were undergoing refurbishment and therefore the number of paintings on display was significantly reduced; also some lent to other exhibitions. However entry price was not reduced!Written June 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- GAR191 contributionsSurprised at how quiet this place was - I even had the chapel entirely to myself for at least ten minutes. It is very beautiful and the entrance fee is reasonableWritten August 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robert FTopsail1 contributionI had a great experience I did not buy cameo but I did buy a 18K gold chain and charm the service was great and the knowledge he had made me feel very comfortable to do business with. I did a lot of research for a gold chain , Even though he does not advertise in gold his specialty is cameo he still had chains for me to buy. I would recommend him to anyone looking for any piece of jewlery.Written September 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WikumjBromley, UK275 contributionsWe only went to this as it as you get free tickets included with the Doge's palace entrance. Not an essential visit but worth going if you are spending more than a couple of days in Venice. While not as informative as the Doge palace exhibit, it still contains a range of interesting artefacts from different periods. Rather than one museum it is a few different museums (including the archeological museum and library) and so a benefit of this is the variety of artefacts from different time periods on display, there is very good variety. Also conveniently there is one route running through all the collections which makes it very easy to just walk through it. Can be done pretty quickly if you are short on time, anywhere from 30 mins to an hour. Good way to escape the heat during the day as well and enjoy views over the square. The cafe at the entrance in particular has fantastic window views over San Marco square.Written September 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
