Tickets: how much it costs

Entry to the National Museum of Palazzo Venezia requires a modestly priced ticket (indicative only, check current prices on the official website), with a reduced rate for EU citizens aged 18 to 25 and free admission for under-18s. Prices may change during temporary exhibitions.

Combined ticket with the Vittoriano

Palazzo Venezia and the Vittoriano (Altar of the Fatherland) belong to the same institution (VIVE – Vittoriano e Palazzo Venezia). A combined ticket covering both is often available, and it's well worth it, since the two sit side by side on Piazza Venezia.

Opening hours

Palazzo Venezia is generally open Tuesday to Sunday, all day without a break (hours indicative, check the official website); closed on Mondays. Last admission is usually about an hour before closing. It may close on certain public holidays.

Free admission

Entry is generally free on the first Sunday of the month (a nationwide initiative for state museums) and on selected special days. It's the cheapest day to visit, but also the busiest.
