Venice advanced tickets question

Hello dear RS Friends,
Thank you in advance for being so helpful to me! I’m wondering other than Doge’s Palace, which other sites in Venice do you recommend buying tickets in advance? And do you recommend buying tickets directly from the venues’ sites or from a 3rd party like GetYourGuide? Also, do you recommend taking any guided tours or going it alone? Thank you so much!! 😊

Always avoid third party sites for anything: tickets, tours, airlines, and/or hotels.
There are many stories of third party cancelations at the last minute. These vendors often sell tickets that they don't hold yet, and hope to secure. Good luck!

Book a timed entry to St Mark’s on the official site to avoid the ticket line
Nobody skips security lines
Take note of entry restrictions-large bags not allowed
Shoulders and knees must be covered-both women and men
They are very strict

Other than that-maybe the Guggenheim needs advanced purchase-depends on what time of year

Avoid third party resellers
