Doge’s Palace (Venice): the St Mark’s Square Museums ticket is €35, or €30 online at least 30 days ahead; a timed ticket skips the ticket queue, not security. The Museum Pass (€50, 6 months) only pays off if you visit several civic museums.

Quick answers
Can I get a walk-up Borghese ticket after online sell-out?
Sometimes: a limited last-minute sale starts at :20 past each hour at the desk, max 2 per person, not guaranteed.
Why is the Borghese calendar blank instead of sold out?
The museum doesn’t explain it; dates may not be released yet. Recheck later or call +39 06 32810.
Does Borghese sell out regardless of time slot?
Not always — each hourly slot has up to 180 places, but popular dates fill fast, so book a specific slot early.
Does a timed Doge’s Palace ticket really skip the line?
It skips the ticket queue, not security.
Is Viator worth more than direct Doge’s Palace tickets?
Only if it adds a guide or a special itinerary; the official ticket is €30–35.
How much queue time should I allow at Doge’s Palace?
15–30 minutes before your slot, more in high season.
Is the Venice Museum Pass useful for Doge’s Palace?
Only if you’ll visit several civic museums: €50 for 6 months, Basilica not included.
Should Pompeii tickets be bought online or at the gate?
Online in advance: tickets are named, timed and capped; on-site offices are inside the site.
