Doge's Palace FAQ - Photos, Bags, Accessibility, and More

Plan smoothly by knowing the rules before you go.

Photography

• Personal photography without flash is typically allowed; tripods and lighting rigs are not.
• Be mindful of other visitors; step to walls or corners for wider shots.

Bags and cloakroom

• Security screening at entry; large bags must be left at the cloakroom (free).
• Valuable items should stay with you; travel light to speed up.

Dress and comfort

• No strict dress code, but respectful attire suits a historic site.
• Interiors can be cool; bring a light layer.

Accessibility

• Lifts connect main levels; some historic sections, like portions of the prisons, have steps.
• Ask for staff guidance on the most step‑free route.

Restrooms and water

• Restrooms are distributed along the route; ask the nearest attendant.
• Bring a small water bottle; refill options are limited inside.
