In an attempt to make sure that tourists go to see more than
just the Palazzo Ducale and San Marco, the entry charges for
several museums have been combined in one ticket called I Musei
di Piazza San Marco . Costing L18,000/€9.30, the ticket allows
one visit to each of the following attractions before the end of
the year in which you buy the ticket: Palazzo Ducale, Museo Correr,
Museo Archeologico, Biblioteca Marciana, Palazzo Mocenigo, Museo
del Merletto (Burano) and Museo del Vetro (Murano). It's available
at the Correr and Palazzo Ducale, each of which can be visited only
with the Musei di San Marco ticket (the Museo Archeologico and
Biblioteca Marciana are now annexes of the Correr, and thus also
require a combined ticket); at the other places you have the option
of paying an entry charge just for that attraction.
In addition, thirteen churches that charge for entry (either to
the whole structure or just part - usually the sacristy) are now
part of the Chorus Pass scheme, whereby a L15,000/€7.75
ticket allows one visit to each of the churches over a one-year
period. The individual entrance fee at each of the participating
churches is L3000/€1.55, and all the churches (except for the
variants given below) observe the same opening hours: Monday to
Saturday 10am to 5pm, and Sunday 1 to 5pm (except in July and
August, when all except the Frari are closed to tourists). The
churches involved are: Santa Maria del Giglio; Santo Stefano; Santa
Maria Formosa; Santa Maria dei Miracoli; the Frari (Mon-Sat
9am-6pm, Sun 1-6pm); San Polo; San Giacomo dell'Orio; San Stae;
Sant'Alvise; Madonna dell'Orto; San Pietro di Castello; Redentore;
and San Sebastiano (Mon-Sat 10am-5pm, Sun 3-5pm - but often closed
Sun in winter).
The opening hours listed below are the latest available times of
the major tourist museums and monuments, but bear in mind that they
are prone to sudden, inexplicable alterations, especially in
winter, when afternoon opening hours are frequently truncated.
An asterisk after the price indicates that a concessionary rate
is available for students who can prove their status; under-12s are
entitled to reductions at nearly all attractions, provided they are
accompanied by an adult. Visitors from EU countries who can prove
they are aged under 18 or over 65 are entitled to free admission at
the city's state-owned museums - ie the Accademia, Ca' d'Oro, Museo
Archeologico and Museo Orientale.
