Interactive tour in the Doge’s Palace: myths and symbols

Interactive tour in the Doge's Palace for teenagers

TOUR DESCRIPTION

Would you like to visit the Doge’s Palace – the heart of Venetian power, wealth, and legend — without boring your teens?
This interactive tour is the key to unlocking the treasure chest of Venetian history for curious travellers of all ages!

Following the thread of mythology and storytelling, we’ll explore the wonders of Venetian painting and architecture – from the majestic Giants’ Staircase to the gilded Institutional Chambers, admiring masterpieces by Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto.
We’ll cross the iconic Bridge of Sighs and uncover its meaning. Then, we’ll step inside the Prison cells and learn about the stories of those who lived behind bars during the time of the Venetian Republic.

THE GAME

During the tour, you’ll be invited to look closely and become active explorers of the Doge’s Palace: spot hidden details, decode mysterious symbols, and connect the clues step by step to uncover a secret word. Every stop reveals something unexpected, encouraging curiosity, teamwork, and imagination. Together, we’ll piece together Venice’s fascinating past, discovering how this unique city rose to power through immersive, interactive storytelling rather than dry facts. Legends, history, and visual clues come together to bring Venice to life in a memorable way. It’s not just a guided walk, but a family challenge — fun, educational, and engaging for everyone.

For teenagers, adults and children interested in mythology.
