The experience

Skip the ticket desk and stroll beneath soaring domes

Enter the basilica in Venice with a timed ticket, accompanied by a host for access. Skip the ticket line and step inside to discover stunning domes, golden mosaics on the walls and ceiling, and a unique marble floor that reflects the waves of the lagoon.

Use the personal audio guide app, available in your preferred language, and listen to short, informative tracks about the basilica’s history. Bring your own headphones and pause or rewind as you like, taking extra time at any spot that catches your interest.

There is no set schedule – you can explore at your own pace, following a clear route through the basilica’s blend of Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance art. By the end of your visit, you’ll have stories and photos from one of the world’s most celebrated sacred sites.
