Photo & video Booking Florence Museums: Buy Uffizi & Accademia Tickets Online Museum Bookings Book tickets for Florence Museums Ahead of Your Arrival Florence is an open-air museum and attracts millions of visitors from all over the world every year, year round.

Renown as the cradle of the Renaissance for its palaces, churches and museums, Florence is certainly unique. Definitely Book Museums in High Season! During high season (from May until September, there are so many people downtown it often becomes difficult to walk through Piazza Duomo (don't try it in a hurry!) and the lines at the major museums are long, with waits of over an hour - but only if you didn't book your museum tickets ahead of time! So generally speaking, it is good practice to book Florence museum tickets in advance if you're coming in the high tourist season, which starts around Easter and continues until the end of September. I personally think that the extra cost of the prebooked reservation is easily justified by the time you save not queuing in front of the museums, in essense giving you a little more time to discover more of Florence. Booking ahead does mean you need to decide on a date and time to visit, as tickets are sold for specific entrance times.

If on the other hand you want to leave your visit to Florence flexible, just prepare yourself for the lines and prepare to make conversation with fellow people waiting in line, visitors who come from all over the world and which might make the long wait a bit more interesting! During the rest of the year Florence does have a low season, from November until March, when the number of visitors are lower. It doesn't mean the city is deserted - but locals do tend to breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy the city center a bit more 😉. All joking aside, during the rest of the year, the lines at the Uffizi and Accademia are shorter but they are impossible to predict. You can take your chances and NOT book ahead of time, enjoying the city just like the locals in its "off-season". The exception is if you're in Florence for a limited time, as stated above. Many unfortunately will have only a few hours in Florence, so I would suggest to book your tickets ahead of time and not spend even half an hour in line! You will want to make the most of the time you are in Florence.

The Uffizi and Accademia Galleries, Florence's Most Visited Museums The Uffizi Gallery , with over 2200 works of art, is one of the most visited museums in all of Italy with almost 2 million visitors just last year. Even though Uffizi tickets can be reserved easily online or by phone, long lines still form every day in front of the museum and visitors wait 2 or more hours to be able to get inside. The museum, however, does offer the chance to shorten the wait by pre-booking tickets online or by phone and we highly recommend to book your tickets ahead of time, particularly for the Uffizi Gallery. It is important to know that the Uffizi Gallery does limit the number of admissions at any one time for security measures and sets aside the number of these spots it will sell in advance. These advance tickets are sold through various channels, including authorized resellers. During the high season, some dates can be sold out on one website and still be available elsewhere so it makes sense to check your dates and book your Uffizi Museum tickets as soon as you know when you'll be in Florence. Just remember that the Uffizi Gallery is always closed on Mondays.

Among the other museums in Florence which merit booking tickets ahead of time is the Accademia Gallery . At the Accademia is where you'll find the original marble statue of David by Michelangelo and his Prisoners, as well as other masterpieces by Perugino, Filippino Lippi and Botticelli. Just like the Uffizi, the Accademia is visited by over 1,2 million visitors every year. The long lines at the entrance on via Ricasoli wind around the nearby corner. To avoid queuing under the sun or rain (there is no portico to protect from the elements as there is at the Uffizi Gallery), we highly recommend you book tickets ahead of time. The Bargello, Pitti Palace and Other Museums in Florence Even though other Florence museums, such as the Bargello National Museum with its great sculpture collection, the Pitti Palace with its several museums and the Boboli Gardens, and the Medici Chapels with more sculptural masterpieces by Michelangelo, are not as busy as the Uffizi and the Academy, it's still useful to reserve tickets for these museums if you're visiting during high season.

For these museums, you can reserve tickets online three days in advance while for the Uffizi we recommend getting them much before. Florence - Uffizi Museums - Florence Tuscany - TUSCANYLIVE.COM Regions Florence & the North Florence Uffizi & Museums Uffizi and Museums Florence is known as the city of Museums. In addition to Uffizi, Bargello and Galeria del'Accademia, over 60 other museums and galleries display unique art treasures and educate about the culture and history of Tuscany. At the end of the 18th century, the last representatives of the Medici gave their art collection to the city of Florence. The entire collection was handed over, the one condition being, that every piece remained in the city. Because the Medici's enthusiasm and interest of collecting was very diverse, the museums of the city now host countless works of art. Here are some of the most famous Florentine museums: Galleria degli Uffizi It is one of the largest museums in the world. No other Italian museum can show such a large number of visitors. The Uffizi host one of the most famous art collections worldwide in over 45 different halls.

Countless magnificent works of famous painters from the 13th to 18th centuries amaze visitors. Two long corridors present an extensive collection of masterful statues and tapestries. It is impossible to mention everything worth mentioning here. Here is just an overview of those artists who's works can be seen in chronological order in the Galleria degli Uffizi: Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Ghirlandaio, Martini, Raffael, Bellini, Tizian, Giotto, Duccio, Cimabueand also Dï¿½rer, Cranach, Rubens and Rembrandt. Galleria Palatina in the palace of the Pitti The well-known museum complex is housed in the extravagantly designed Palazzo Pitti, on the south side of the Arno. The main points of emphasis in the individual museums and galleries are diverse in the elegant, monumental palace. The Galleria Palatina can be found in the palace's Baroque halls and displays numerous masterpieces that were donated from private collections.

Priceless works such as Tizian, Raffel, Rubens or Giorgione can be viewed here between gold and frescos that decorate the walls. The paintings are still displayed in the way that the palace's previous owners left them. The Galleria d'Arte Moderna displays works of the 19th century, the Museo degli Argenti has the finest silver on show. In the Galleria del Costume, costumes can be viewed. The terraces of the Boboli Gardens display porcelain and coaches. Additionally, the feudal surroundings and Contini Bonacossi give some insight into the former lifestyle. Galleria dell'Accademia Michelangelo's world famous sculptures, first and foremost the original and greatly admired David, helped the gallery gain popularity. He took only 3 years (1501-04) to make the most famous statue in Italy from a block of marble. The museum has seven large, some incomplete, sculptures by Michelangelo. The statue of Matthias and the statue of the four Slaves are among the most famous. Additionally, the Galleria dell'Accademia has priceless works of the Tuscan school from the 13th-16th centuries.

Paintings, statues, tapestries and antique furniture can be seen in the museum. Bargello National Museum The Bargello, once an administrative palace and prison, has housed the Museo Nazionale del Bargello's magnificent sculptures of the Renaissance and smaller art treasures since 1859. In high, luxuriously designed halls, one of the largest collections of Italian sculptures of the 14th-16th centuries can be admired. The masterpieces were created by famous artists such as Donatello, Michelangelo, Cellini, Giambologna, Brunelleschi and the family della Robbia. Additionally, the National Museum presents works of art made from ivory, enamel and glass, not to mention weapons, bronze pieces and goblin collections of the Medici. Florence archeological museum The Museo Archeologico Nazionale as one of the most important antique collections in the whole of Italy. The mostly Etruscan and Egyptian pieces can be found in the Palazzo della Crocetta. Numerous exhibits such as sarcophaguses, statues, vases and urns come from the Medici's private collections. Prehistoric, Greek and Roman finds can also be viewed in the National Museum.

San Marco Museum In the 15th century, the Dominican Fra Angelico Zellen designed the refectory and corridors of the building with paintings and frescos, which made the monastery famous throughout the world. {$VAR_EXTRATHEMEN_TEXT} The Bargello in Florence Florence The Bargello It is a splendid stone castle erected in 1255 as the seat of the Capitano del Popolo; in 1261 became the seat of the Podestà and in 1574 was the office of Capitano of Justice (Bargello – head of police). The Bargello is the second civil building of the city in the middle age perios, as regard the importance and size. The Museum of Bargello was created in 1859 by the temporary Tuscan government to collect the most important sculptures and artistic precious objects, Subsequently the collections have been increased by the important legacy of precious Carrand collection of minor art in 1988, from the Arm Collection Ressman in 1989 and from the Fianchetti fabric collection in 1906.

The Bargello Museum is the first in Italy and one f the most important in the world for its collection of sculptures and precious objects of minor arts. The Museum contains among its famous works:-The marble statue of S. Giorgio by Donatello (1416)- the San Giovannino (Martelli's house) by Donatello- the bronze statue of David by Donatello- Terrecotte decorated with glass by Della Robbia-The bronze statute of David by Verrocchio (1476)-The famous Mercurio, bronze statue by Gianbologna (1564)-The marble statues of Bruto, Apollino and drunk Bacco by Michelangelo. Duration of the visit 1h Full Making Museum Reservations in Florence by Rick Steves Share Making Museum Reservations in Florence Beware of three-hour lines! If you don't plan to get a Firenze Card, reserve your Uffizi tickets before leaving for Europe. In high season, tourists queue to climb the Duomo's dome.

By Rick Steves and Gene Openshaw Florence offers several options to help you bypass the lengthy ticket-buying lines that can plague its most popular sights in peak season (espeically the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia, with David, which have notoriously long lines all year long). Smart travelers save hours of lining up in two ways: buying tickets with a reserved entry time online, or purchasing a Firenze Card, which lets you skip the line. The Firenze Card (€72 per person) is the easiest way to avoid lines at multiple sights. (And it's the only way to skip the often-long lines to ascend the Duomo's dome.) It works like an amusement-park "fast track" pass, letting travelers with more money than time skip long lines, so they can see more of the city. Getting the card makes the most sense from April through October, when crowds are worst. You'll have to sightsee like mad for the full three-day validity period just to break even.

On a shorter visit (one or two days), or if you won't be entering too many sights, you can save money and still avoid the lines by skipping the Firenze Card and instead making reservations for the Accademia and Uffizi. A €15 combo-ticket covers Duomo-related sights: the Baptistery, dome, Campanile, Duomo Museum, and Santa Reparata (the church crypt, inside the Duomo). You should only get the combo-ticket if you don't have a Firenze Card (which covers the same sights). Firenze Card This three-day sightseeing pass gives you admission to many of Florence's sights, including the Uffizi Gallery and Accademia. Just as important, it lets you skip the ticket-buying lines without making reservations. With the card, you simply go to the entrance at a covered sight (look for the Firenze Card logo), show the card, and they let you in (though there still may be delays at popular sights with bottleneck entryways or capacity limits). At some sights, you must first present your card at the ticket booth or information desk to get a physical ticket before proceeding to the entrance.

The Firenze Card costs €72 and is valid for 72 hours from when you validate it at your first museum (e.g., Tue at 15:00 until Fri at 15:00). Validate your card only when you're ready to tackle the covered sights on three consecutive days. Make sure the sights you want to visit will be open (many sights are closed Sun or Mon). The Firenze Card covers the regular admission price as well as any special-exhibit surcharges, and is good for one visit per sight. To figure out if the card is a good deal for you, tally up the entry fees for what you want to see. If you're particularly ambitious and enter all the most popular sights within three days (the Uffizi, Accademia, Palazzo Vecchio, Bargello, Medici Chapels, Museum of San Marco, Duomo-related sights, and the Pitti Palace sights) the Firenze Card will pay for itself. The Firenze Card also covers a long list of minor sights that you might enjoy popping into, but wouldn't otherwise pay for.

Many outlets around town sell the card (including the tourist information offices at the train station, at Via Cavour 1 red, facing the Campanile, and at the airport). Don't bother buying the card online, as you still have to go in person to one of these desks to swap the voucher for the actual pass. The Firenze Card is not shareable, and there are no family or senior discounts for Americans or Canadians. Children under 18 are allowed free into any state museum in Italy, and into any municipal museum in Florence. However, at the Uffizi and Accademia, to skip the lines with their Firenze Card holding parents, children still must (technically) pay the €4 "reservation fee" (which can be paid on the spot — no need to reserve ahead). However, in practice, enforcement of this policy seems to vary. Don't confuse this card with the Firenze PASSport. Advance Reservations (without the Firenze Card) If you don't get a Firenze Card, and don't plan to book a private guide, it's smart to make reservations at the often-crowded Accademia and Uffizi Gallery .

Some other Florence sights — including the Bargello, Medici Chapels, and Pitti Palace — offer reservations, but they are generally not necessary. The Brancacci Chapel officially requires a reservation, but it's usually possible to get it on the spot. Get reservations for the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery as soon as you know when you'll be in town. Without a reservation at the Accademia and Uffizi, you can usually enter without significant lines from November through March after 16:00. But from April through October and on weekends, it can be crowded even late in the day. Any time of year, I'd reserve a spot. Note that reservations are not possible on the first Sunday of the month, when the museums are free and very busy. There are several ways to make a reservation: Online You can book and pay for your Accademia or Uffizi visit via the city's official site (€4/ticket reservation fee — click on the gray "B-ticket" strip). You'll receive an order-confirmation email, which is followed shortly by a voucher email. Bring your voucher to the ticket desk to swap for an actual ticket.

Pricey middleman sites — such as uffizi.com and tickitaly.com — are reliable and more user-friendly than the official site, but their booking fees run about €10 per ticket. (When ordering from these broker sites, don't confuse Florence's Accademia with Venice's gallery of the same name.) By Phone From a US phone, dial 011-39-055-294-883, or from an Italian phone call 055-294-883 (€4/ticket reservation fee; booking office open Mon–Fri 8:30–18:30, Sat 8:30–12:30, closed Sun). When you get through, an English-speaking operator walks you through the process — a few minutes later you say grazie, having secured an entry time and a confirmation number. You'll present your confirmation number at the museum and pay for your ticket. You pay only for the tickets you pick up (e.g., if you reserved two tickets but only use one, you'll pay for just one ticket).

Through Your Hotel Some hoteliers are willing to book museum reservations for their guests (ask when you reserve your room); some offer this as a service, while others charge a small booking fee. Other Options Private Tour Various tour companies sell tours that include a reserved museum admission. For example, Artviva offers tours of the Uffizi, Accademia, and both museums. Last-Minute Strategies If you arrive without a reservation, call the reservation number (see "By Phone," above), ask your hotelier for help, or head to a booking window, either at Orsanmichele Church (daily 9:00–16:00, closed Sun off-season, along Via de' Calzaiuoli) or at the My Accademia Libreria bookstore across from the Accademia's exit (Tue–Sun 8:15–17:30, closed Mon, Via Ricasoli 105 red). It's also possible to go to the Uffizi's official ticket office (use door #2 and skirt to the left of the long ticket-buying line), and ask if they have any short-notice reservations available.

Any of these options will cost you the €4 reservation fee. Because the museums are closed on Mondays, the hardest day to snare a last-minute, same-day reservation is Tuesday — get an early start. As a last resort, remember that even if you're in town for just a few hours and neglected to get reservations, if you're determined to see the Uffizi and David at the Accademia you can always buy a Firenze Card just for the line-skipping privileges.

Disabled Visitors We sell Official tickets authorized from Civita-Opera Laboratori Fiorentini that you can visit here The most important art gallery in Italy and the earliest museum in modern Europe, it displays the greatest paintings from every age. It houses the most significant classical sculptures from the Medici collections and a big selection of Italian and European painting from 13th to 18th C., mainly late Medieval and Renaissance Tuscan works. History The Uffizi Palace was built by Giorgio Vasari at the wishes of Duke Cosimo I de' Medici as the place of the offices of the Medici government. The origin of the Gallery dates back to the Medici age, but the museum was regularly opened to the public under the reign of the Lorraine dynasty. Collections The first section of the Gallery was created in 1581 by Francesco I de' Medici on the last floor of the building, intended to house the Magistrature (the administrative and judicial offices) of the Florentine State. It included the works collected by the Medici in 15th and 16th C., originally located in the "Tribuna" and adjoining rooms.

Under the rule of the Lorraine family the works were more rationally arranged, new collections were added, older ones were moved and became the core of other important Florentine museums (arms, scientific instruments, archaeological pieces, ancient and Renaissance bronzes). After the suppression of churches and monasteries in 18th and 19th C., many important religious works were moved to the Uffizi. In the early 20th C. some significant paintings were acquired in order to fill in the gaps of the museum, so that the Uffizi became the "National Italian Gallery". Masterpieces Florentine painters: Cimabue, Giotto, Masaccio, Paolo Uccello, Filippo Lippi, Sandro Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Pontormo, Rosso Fiorentino. Italian painters: Duccio di Buoninsegna, Simone Martini, Gentile da Fabriano, Piero della Francesca, Perugino, Raffaello, Tiziano, Tintoretto, Veronese, Caravaggio, Canaletto.

THE UFFIZI MUSEUM The Uffizi Gallery houses many masterpieces of famous painters, displayed in chronological order. From Cimabue, the greatest master of the romanesque style, the itinerary through the museum shows the revolution carried on by Giotto at the beginning of the 14th century up to the precious late gothic art of Gentile da Fabriano of the early Quattrocento. Paintings by Masaccio, Paolo Uccello, Piero della Francesca and Filippo Lippi witness the new ideas of the Renaissance, while the golden age of Lorenzo the Magnificent is the background of the masterpieces by Sandro Botticelli, the Birth of Venus and the Allegory of Spring. The exhibit continues with famous paintings of the 16th century, by Leonardo, Raffaello, Tiziano and Michelangelo: of the great genius the museum owns the only documented picture, the Doni tondo.

History The museum is housed in the medieval Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo (or Bargello Palace), built starting from 1255 and enlarged in the 14th century, ancient residence of the Captain of the People, then of the Podestà and lastly of the Captain of Justice (called Bargello), that is the chief of the police (16th century), when the palace was transformed into a prison. The building was completely restored in order to house the Bargello National Museum, opened in 1865. Collections The earlier museum was dedicated to Medieval applied arts: bronzes, majolicas, statues, coins, seals and medals. Donatello's year (1887-88) was the occasion to open the Hall of Renaissance Sculpture (today called "of Donatello") and between the late 19th century and the early 20th century, the collection was further enlarged thanks to private donations and legacies (Carrand, Ressmann, Franchetti), with new ivories, enamels, arms and armours.

Today, on the ground floor of the museum, the Hall of the 16th century Sculpture displays important works by Michelangelo, Benvenuto Cellini, Jacopo Sansovino and Giambologna. On the first floor, a balcony ("Verone"), adorned with bronze animals by Giambologna, leads to the vast Audience Hall, which houses many masterpieces by Donatello, his assistants and Luca Della Robbia, along with the famous bronze reliefs cast by Lorenzo Ghiberti and Filippo Brunelleschi in competition for the second doors of the Florentine Baptistery. On the same floor are the Islamic Room, the Carrand Room, the Chapel of Mary Magdalene, the Room of Ivories, the Medieval Room and the Majolicas Room. On the second floor are the rooms dedicated to Giovanni and Andrea della Robbia, displaying the well-known glazed terracotta works, the Room of the Arms, the Room of Small Bronzes, the Verrocchio Room (sculptures by Andrea del Verrocchio, Mino da Fiesole, Antonio Rossellino, Benedetto da Maiano) and the Room of Medals.

Details The Bargello palace was built in 1255 by the Fazione del Popolo (People's Guard) as fortress and arsenal to hold out against the noble families of Florence. In 1865 a superb collection of sculpture from the Florentine Renaissance and an assembly of small renaissance bronzes was installed, including works of art by Michelangelo, Donatello, Cellini, and Giambologna.

The walls of the medieval courtyard are decorated with the armorial symbol of the Podestà, the highest magistrate of the city of Florence,and with sculptures from the 16th century, including the Oceano by Giambologna which was once at home in the Boboli gardens. A well stands in the center of the courtyard, where executions were once held. As you enter the first room from the courtyard, you'll discover masterpieces by Michelangelo, such as the Tondo Pitti and the Bacco, and many other mythological sculptures. On the ground floor, there are works of art by Cellini and Giambologna, including his Mercurio (Mercury) and Firenze vittoriosa su Pisa (Florence's victory over Pisa). On the first floor, you will find the Salone del Consiglio (Council Hall), characterized by its high ceiling, once the tribunal hall. Here, you will see some of the finest works of Donatello such as his marble sculpture of the youthful David, and the sculpture of Saint George, carved for and once part of the external walls of the Orsanmichele church. You'll also see Donatello's later, much-discussed bronze David.

On this floor you can visit the Ivory Room with the Carrand collection, 265 pieces that may be dated between the 5th and 17th century, including diptychs, ceramic tiles, reliquaries. The second room houses the Bargello safe with precious wrought iron decorations. From this room you enter the chapel of Maria Magdalena with the vestry of the Sacristy, where the condemned awaited their death. The religious paintings on the wall are by Giotto's school. In the Islamic room you can take a glance at oriental carpets and examples of Damascene bronze, some from the grand-ducal collections. The museum also displays rare wooden sculptures and Venetian glass, as well as an important collection of maiolica from Urbino, Siena, Orvieto, and Florence. On the second floor, there are many glazed terracotta objects in two rooms, including the Busto di fanciullo (Baby's bust) by Andrea della Robbia. There is also an exhibition of Italian medals and an exquisite collection of small Renaissance bronzes. The Sala delle Armi contains fascinating medieval ivories, armory, and weapons.
