Overview

Dive into the splendour of St. Mark’s Basilica with priority access and an immersive audioguide. Choose from options depending on how curious you feel: standard entry, access to the panoramic terrace, or the full experience including the museum and the gem-studded Pala d’Oro.

Step into a cathedral unlike any other, where over 8,000 square metres of mosaics, many made with real gold, glow beneath soaring domes. Your audioguide reveals legends of stolen relics, Venetian power, and the hidden meaning behind every detail. Climb to the terrace for sweeping views once reserved for the Doge himself or wander the museum filled with sacred treasures.

Your ticket also includes access to hidden gems around the city like the Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta on Torcello Island, the Sacristy of Santa Maria della Salute, and the Pinacoteca Manfrediniana. These can be visited on your own, and transport is not included.
