Which Doge's Palace combo to book
Every combo here uses a fast-track ticket for the Doge's Palace. The difference is what comes with it.
First visit, a few days in Venice. The Venice Pass is the most booked option. It covers the palace, a hosted entry to St. Mark's Basilica with audio guide, a boat tour to Murano and Burano with a glass-blowing demonstration, and a gondola history gallery with a VR experience. A second product, also called Venice Pass, swaps the gallery for a Murano, Burano and Torcello boat tour from St. Mark's Square. See Murano and Burano tours for more on the islands.
Short stay, just the square. Doge's Palace & St. Mark's Basilica Combo covers the two sights side by side, plus the gondola gallery. Its reviews are mixed, so read them for what people say about the hosted basilica entry.
Museum people. St. Mark's Square Pass adds an express guided tour of the basilica, Ca' Rezzonico and a digital audio guide of the city. Doge's Palace + Peggy Guggenheim Collection is the pick for modern art.
Music and evenings. Doge's Palace + La Fenice Opera House adds a skip-the-line visit with audio guide to Teatro La Fenice. It's one of the best-rated bundles here.
On the water. Two bundles add a gondola: a ride on the Grand Canal with live commentary, or a classic 30-minute gondola ride. See Venice gondola rides. Doge's Palace + Venice Public Transport Pass pairs the palace with a vaporetto pass that includes an airport transfer.
There's also a bundle with a separate St. Mark's Square Prison Palace entry; check on the booking page what it covers beyond the palace visit.

Is a combo cheaper than separate tickets?
The two-part bundles are priced around five percent below their parts, and the ticket shows the saving. The passes are sold as single products, so their value is mostly in getting several fixed entries, including the basilica, in one order.
How the tickets work
You pay once and get a separate ticket for each part. The palace, the basilica and boat tours each have their own date, time or meeting point, so check every slot and leave time between them. Basilica visits have a dress code covering shoulders and knees. Cancellation follows the product, so read the conditions on the booking page, or see how combo tickets work.
