wright);Ca'Pesaro(modernart);MuseumofNaturalHistoryintheSantaCrocedistrict;the
Glass Museum on the island of Murano; and the Lace Museum on the island of Burano. At
€20, this pass is the best value if you plan to see the Doge's Palace and even just one of the
other covered museums. You can buy it at any of the participating museums.
Chorus Pass:
This pass gives church lovers admission to 16 of Venice's churches and
theirart(generally€3each)—includingtheFrariChurch—for€10,althoughthetypicaltour-
ist is unlikely to see more than two of them.
Venice Card:
This pass combines the 11 city-run museums and the 16 churches covered
by the Chorus Pass, plus a few minor discounts, for €40, but it's hard to make it pay off.
Rolling Venice:
This youth pass offers discounts at dozens of sights and shops, but its
best deal is for transit. If you're under 30 and want to buy a three-day transit pass, it'll cost
you just €18—rather than €35—with the Rolling Venice pass (€4 for ages 14-29, sold at TIs
and HelloVenezia shops).
Transportation Passes:
Venice sells transit-only passes that cover
vaporetti
and main-
land buses. For a rundown on these, see “Getting Around Venice,” earlier.
