Everything about the
Venice Museum Pass
In Venice, there is a Museum Pass that combines access to eleven municipal museums and the Doge’s Palace. The pass costs EUR 50 via the official website. Booking is available in English and Italian.
However, there are also offers from the agencies GetYourGuide and Tiqets. Which of the two is the better choice is exactly what we’ll look at here.
And: is this a good opportunity or not?
Read on – we’ll reveal all!
The Museum Pass
The museums
With all three providers (official site, Tiqets, and GetYourGuide), 12 museums are included:
The Doge’s Palace is certainly the most exciting of these, but there are another two or three that are definitely worth visiting as well.
Museums you can visit:
Doge’s Palace (this alone already costs EUR 35 admission)
Museo Correr
Archaeological Museum
Biblioteca Marciana
These four museums above are also included when purchasing a standard Doge’s Palace ticket.
And now the other’s:
- Ca’ Rezzonico
- Ca’ Pesaro
- Glass Museum (Murano Island)
- Natural History Museum
- Palazzo Mocenigo
- Carlo Goldoni’s House
- Lace Museum (Burano Island)
- Fortuny Museum

EUR 22 for seniors over 65, students aged 15–25, and children aged 6–14 → cheaper than the official price!

So what is different about GetYourGuide?
The GetYourGuide offer appears to include two additional museums (mentioned in the description but not listed at the end under “Included”): Scuola Grande dei Carmini and the Querini Stampalia Foundation.
Conclusion
Who is it worth it for?
I’m a bit more undecided on this one.
Yes, you save money compared to on-site prices.
Yes, it’s convenient.
Yes, it’s great for Venice regulars and art enthusiasts.
– But are all the museums really that interesting for first-time visitors to the city?
– And what about those who aren’t keen on museums?
In those cases, probably not.
Of the museums included, only about five would stand out to me at first glance or when you are visiting Venice for the first time.
So the key is to consider what kind of Venice visitor you are and which museums genuinely appeal to you.
