Museums

The cheapest and most convenient way to discover Venice’s many civic museums is to buy the Biglietto cumulativo – a cumulative ticket that allows entry to a host of interesting buildings. Most important are the Doge’s Palace, the court of the rulers of the Republic and Museo Correr, the museum of the history of Venice. Others nearby include the architectural masterpiece by sansovino, the Libreria Nazionale Marciana, the Museo Archeologico (both in St Mark’s Square) and the Palazzo Mocenigo for lovers of things decorative. The ticket can be purchased from any of the above and is valid for several months. After a trip to a museum, be sure to check out of the fine dining experiences recommended in Restaurants in Venice. You won’t regret it!
