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/a?¬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/a?¬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/a?¬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.
