As my colleague Jessica frequently reminds me, it is not in museums but in Venice’s churches where the city’s most important works of art can be found. Now one can see Venetian masterpieces at an affordable price with the Chorus Pass. This single ticket valid for one year is costs a mere €8 (that’s just €2 more than a vaporetto ride!) and allows entrance to the following 16 churches:
Santa Maria del Giglio (Tintoreto (Reubens)
Museo Santo Stefano (Canova, Tintoretto, Lombardo)
Santa Maria Formosa (Codusi,Vivarini)
Santa Maria dei Miracoli (Lombardo)
San Giovani Elemosinario (Titian)
San Polo (Tintoretto, Tiepolo, Veronese)
Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari (Tiziano, Bellini, Vivarini, Lombardo,
Donatello, Longhena)
San Giacomo dall’Orio (Lotto, Veronese)
San Stae (Tiepolo)
Sant’Alvise (Tiepolo)
Madonna dell’Orto (Tintoretto, Titian)
San Pietro di Castello (Veronese, Giordano, Longhena)
Santissimo Renditore (Palladio, Vivarini, Veronese, Tintoretto)
Gesuati (Tintoretto, Tiepolo)
San Sebastiano (Veronese, Titian)
San Giobbe (Lombardo, Vivarini, della Robbia)
The churches above are open 10am-5pm daily. They cannot be visited by tourists on religious holidays or during masses.
