Doge's Palace

I'm sure this place is beautiful as a venue, but as a standalone museum, it is not worth the $15 entrance fee per person. You walk up one set of stairs and are shown a tiny gallery where they have traveling exhibitions. The exhibition at the time we were there was that of some "famous" child painter who just put random brushstrokes on the canvas and some proud mom declared it "art." The bulk of the palace is unable to be visited. Only the primary ball room which is absolutely gorgeous and massive. I bet all the 5 star reviews are of people listening to concerts in that hall. Absolutely stunning. However, while viewing, you can spend maybe 5-10 minutes in there before you move on to the Doge's Chapel... which is also gorgeous, but small and worth another 5-10 minutes of time. All in all, we were out of there in less than 30 minutes and while we love the rooms we saw... we just expected more like the Royal Palaces in Genova and Torino.

The Palazzo Ducale (Doge’s Palace) is a must-visit destination for history and art lovers exploring Genoa. Once the residence of the Doges who ruled the Republic of Genoa, this majestic palace now serves as a cultural hub, offering visitors a glimpse into the city’s glorious past and vibrant present.

Beautiful museum and with the exhibition of Georgio griffa. Colorful and fun. Perfect for children!!

Visited the World Press Photo exhibit here today and was blown away by the high quality of the images and the way they are presented.

Easy to enter and just look around. Good spot to escape the heat as it's very cool within the structure.

Not much to see as a museum. Really an event space.

It doesn’t worth the money at all. No exhibistions other than the chapel, and even though there was supposed to be an exhibistion it was closed too. There’s literally nothing here. It doesn’t worth the 8 euros. And it should be included in the genova card.

I didn’t see much because my visit was pretty short but there’s was this really cool big room that I don’t know how would you call it. It was impressive.
