Private Glassmaking Lesson with a Master Artisan: Create Your Own Piece of Glass

1 hour and 15 minutes

Very easy

Create your own work of art in glass with Massimiliano, an expert glassmaker. A workshop that will enable you to learn the secrets of the most famous Venetian craft.

Discover one of Venice’s most iconic landmarks with skip-the-line access to the Doge’s Palace, in the heart of St. Mark’s Square. 

Step inside the palace that once stood at the center of the Venetian Republic and explore a masterpiece where art, power, and history meet. Wander through magnificent halls, richly decorated chambers, and monumental staircases, and uncover the stories of the Doges, the secrets of the Republic, and the grandeur of one of Italy’s most extraordinary palaces. Cross the famous Bridge of Sighs and enter the historic prisons, where Casanova himself was once held.

Your visit is enriched by a digital audio guide created by an expert Venetian storyteller, designed to reveal the hidden details, legends, and atmosphere of this remarkable place in a clear and engaging way.

Your ticket also includes access to the former Royal Palace, now part of the Correr Museum, located just opposite the Doge’s Palace. 

This refined residence offers a fascinating journey into a different side of Venetian history. Admire Napoleon’s grand ballroom, explore the elegant apartments of Empress Sissi of Austria, and experience the charm of an imperial palace overlooking St. Mark’s Square. 

To complete your visit, relax at the museum café and enjoy one of the most exclusive views in Venice of St Mark's Square.
