Basilica and Doge Palace in Venice

Hi, We will be in Venice next week. I was wondering if there is a museum and Basilica deal that we can buy for a shorter wait line? Thanks.

Venice - St. Mark's square. Go to Correr Museum first which is located directly across the square from the church San Marco. Buy a pass for the museum and Doge's Palace. Enjoy Correr museum first. Use Correr bathrooms! Then, cross the square and skip the ticket-buying line at Doge's Palace. Go to prepaid ticket line if there is one at all. Cruise right in, drop off backpack at free bag-check station and enjoy the palace. For the church of San Marco - you just have to stand in line to see it. It is better to attend Mass though in my opinion. We did both. We attended Mass on Sunday. Then, we went back on Monday to visit as tourists. I had a better experience with the Mass. For Mass, (look up Mass schedule first), face San Marco. Then, go to side entrance on the left. Tell them Mass. Then, go inside and promptly sit in the nave. Chill out and look around during Mass.
