Who we are, who we are not, and how we make money.
saintmarksbasilicatickets.com is an independent visitor guide. It is not operated by, affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the Procuratoria di San Marco, the Patriarchate of Venice, the Comune di Venezia or any official ticketing body for the basilica. We are not a ticket office and we do not sell tickets. Where this site links to bookable tickets and tours, those are sold by third-party operators under their own terms. If you are looking for the official ticketing channel, go to the Procuratoria di San Marco directly rather than booking through anyone, including us.
This site participates in the GetYourGuide affiliate programme. Links to tickets and tours on this site are affiliate links: if you click one and make a booking, we may receive a commission from GetYourGuide. The price you pay is the same as it would be without the link, and no part of the commission is added to your booking.
Placement. The options on this site are ordered by review volume, highest first, and we state plainly where a cheaper ticket is the better buy, where a free admission category applies, and where the honest advice is not to book at all. None of those recommendations is adjusted for what we earn.
Opening hours, admission categories, dress code, the bag policy, accessibility provision and the scope of each paid area are taken from the Procuratoria di San Marco's own published visitor and ticketing information. Prices and review figures for bookable tours come from the platform selling them.
We check this information and re-check it, but it changes — sometimes at short notice, and always for feast days, services and restoration work. Nothing here is a guarantee. Confirm times, prices and access conditions with the official source and with your operator before you travel.
We publish this guide in good faith and take reasonable care over it. We cannot accept liability for loss, cost or disappointment arising from reliance on it — including a missed time slot, a refused entry, a closure, a changed price or a booking made through a third party. Your contract when you book is with the operator, not with us.
We are not responsible for the content, terms, availability or privacy practices of any site we link to.
Every booking is a contract between you and the operator. We are not a party to it and cannot amend, cancel or refund it.
Photographs on this site are licensed stock images of St Mark's Basilica and Venice. They are illustrative and are not supplied by the basilica.
Nothing here is legal, financial, medical or travel-insurance advice.
