The Fast Track Entry, the Secret Itinerary tour and the Museum Pass have the same price on Tiqets as on the official site. The Fast Track Entry and the official standard ticket both cost 35 euros: if you book at least 30 days ahead, the official online ticket is 30 euros.
Time of entry
An official notice says that tickets for the St. Mark’s Square Museums that carry no time slot are admitted from 12:00. Our Tiqets data does not show a time slot for the Fast Track Entry, so read the entry conditions on the product page before you choose your day.
Which one to buy
For a self-guided visit, compare the official price for your date with the Tiqets price and the conditions of each. The guided offers are different products: they add a guide, and their contents are described on their cards. If you want to see the Piombi cells and the Pozzi, the Secret Itineraries tour is the only way in. The Palace page lists the route and the restrictions.
Opening hours change with the season, from 9:00 to 19:00 in summer and 9:00 to 18:00 in winter: see the opening hours page. For the Basilica, which has its own tickets and rules, read the St Mark’s tickets page before you buy anything.
