Is the Venice Pass worth it?

The pass pays off if you visit at least two to three paid attractions per day – for example the Doge's Palace, St Mark's Basilica and a gondola ride. With a slower itinerary, single tickets from our comparison are usually cheaper.

Which attractions are included in the Venice Pass?

Included are the Doge's Palace, St Mark's Basilica, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the Campanile, plus vaporetto rides and the trip to Murano and Burano, among others. The full list is shown by each provider.

Does the Venice Pass cover vaporetto and bus?

No, not always. ACTV public transport is not always part of the pass – you typically need a separate ACTV ticket for that.

When does validity start?

Validity starts with first use, i.e. the first scan at an attraction, and then runs by calendar day (1, 3 or 7 days).

Is there a cheaper Venice Pass for children?

Yes, there is a much cheaper child version; many Venice museums are free for children anyway.

What the Venice Pass costs

The pass is sold for one to seven calendar days: the longer the duration, the lower the daily rate. Instead of a frozen price list we show the providers' live starting prices above. As a rule of thumb, a one-day pass costs roughly as much as two or three individual museum tickets, while multi-day variants noticeably lower the daily rate.
