Firenze Card and Florence museum passes

Firenze Card price and what it includes

The Firenze Card costs €94, the same for every adult, with no student or senior rate, and the under-18s in your family go on your card at no extra cost. Its 72 hours start at the first museum you walk into, not on the day you buy it. Temporary exhibitions, such as those at Palazzo Strozzi, are included, and so are the bookings some museums ask for.

For a longer stay, the Firenze Card Restart adds 48 hours once your 72 are over, for the museums you haven’t been to yet. It was free until the end of 2025 and has cost €28 since 1 March 2026. You buy it online with your card’s voucher code, within 12 months of buying the card, and it comes only as a digital card in the app.

Is the Firenze Card worth it?

Count the paid museums you’ll really fit into the 72 hours. The Uffizi, from €25 on our ticket, and the Accademia, at €29, come to less than the card. Add Palazzo Vecchio at €30.50 and Palazzo Pitti with the Boboli Gardens at €30, and the four tickets cost more than the card, by more with every museum after that: the Bargello, the Medici Chapels, San Marco.

The Uffizi’s five-day pass narrows the gap, since at €45 it covers the Uffizi, Pitti and Boboli. With it, plus the Accademia and Palazzo Vecchio on tickets of their own, the card is only a little ahead, and from the Bargello on it pulls clearly away.

The 72 hours run straight through, and on Mondays the Uffizi, the Accademia, Palazzo Pitti and the Bargello are shut. Start on a Friday morning and the card runs out on Monday morning, before the closed day costs you anything; start on a Saturday and Monday takes up a third of it.

The first Sunday of the month is the other date to check. Italy’s state museums, those four among them, let everyone in at no charge that day and drop priority entry, so leave them for another of your three days.

With children the sums barely move. Under-18s go into the state and city museums without paying, card or no card, and the children on your card get their bookings included, so the family goes in together.

Booking the Uffizi, the Accademia and Palazzo Vecchio with the Firenze Card

At the Uffizi, the Accademia, Palazzo Vecchio and the Brancacci Chapel, the card only works with a booking, one for each person on it, children included, and Palazzo Vecchio’s Arnolfo Tower needs a booking of its own. The booking is included and gets you in by the entrance for booked visitors, which is all the queue-skipping the card gives you. Once made, it can’t be changed.

The Accademia is the one to sort out first, as the only one you can’t book online: on the phone you give your name and get a booking code.

What the Firenze Card leaves out

The Duomo isn’t on the Firenze Card. The cathedral itself is free to enter, while Brunelleschi’s dome, Giotto’s bell tower, the Baptistery, the cathedral museum and Santa Reparata need a ticket of their own. Ours with the dome costs €58, with fast-track entry to the dome at a set time and the other four sites included. If the dome’s 463 steps are more than you want, the ticket without the dome, at €29.90, covers the bell tower, the Baptistery, the museum and Santa Reparata, though Giotto’s bell tower is a 414-step climb of its own.

The Duomo tickets run for three calendar days. The dome ticket is in your name and staff check ID at the entrance, so have yours on you and arrive 15 minutes before your time.

Public transport and the airport link aren’t on the card either, nor are guided tours and group tickets. The Vasari Corridor is a €20 supplement for adult cardholders, booked for a time at least 45 minutes after your Uffizi entry.

The Uffizi, Pitti and Boboli five-day pass

For a shorter list, the Uffizi’s own five-day pass, the Passepartout, covers the Uffizi, Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens, with one entry at each over five days in a row. It starts at €45, less than the Firenze Card and less than our tickets for the three bought one by one, which makes it the pass to buy when those three are your plan.

The Uffizi comes first, at the day and time you choose when you buy. After that, Palazzo Pitti, with all its museums, and the Boboli Gardens need no other booking within the five days. If those days take in a Monday, 25 December or 1 January, the pass runs a day longer. It’s in your name, and its priority entry doesn’t apply on the free first Sundays.

The Uffizi and Accademia combo

For the two big galleries alone, the Uffizi and Accademia combo starts at €69.50. At the Uffizi you choose priority entry, with or without an audio guide, or a guided tour, and at the Accademia a ticket, a hosted entry, where someone meets you and walks you in, or a guided tour. The Vox audio guide app, with 70 points of interest around Florence, comes with it.

That’s less than the Firenze Card, but more than our Uffizi and Accademia tickets bought separately, at €25 and €29. The combo is for when you want both galleries in one booking, with a guided tour or the audio guide at either of them. The combo’s emailed code gives 10% off other visits, among them Palazzo Vecchio, the Duomo, Boboli and the hop-on hop-off bus.

The Palazzo Pitti and Boboli Gardens pass

If the Uffizi isn’t on your list, there’s a Palazzo Pitti and Boboli Gardens pass from €40.50. It gives you reserved entry to the palace’s museums, from the Palatine Gallery to the Modern Art and Costume galleries, and to the Boboli Gardens, with the Bardini Gardens, the Porcelain Museum and the audio guide app on top.

Two parts are shut for now, the Porcelain Museum for building works and the Treasury of the Grand Dukes with no reopening date. Our Palazzo Pitti and Boboli ticket, at €30, costs less, so this pass is for when you also want the Bardini Gardens and the audio guide app. If the Uffizi is on your list too, the five-day pass, at €45, covers all three.
