Uffizi Gallery Tickets in Florence: Which Ticket Is Worth It?

Uffizi Admission: All Tickets at a Glance

There are really only two types of tickets for the Uffizi: a single ticket or a combo ticket that lets you visit more highlights in Florence.

There are differences, however, between the various ticket providers. Tickets are cheapest on the official Uffizi website, but third-party providers offer some real advantages.

You can view all Uffizi gallery tickets in the table below:

Uffizi Tickets: Official Website vs. Third-Party Providers

The key difference is refundability: if your plans change, you won’t get a refund from the official website — but you will from third-party providers.

And that really matters, because the Uffizi is so popular that you’ll always need to book tickets well in advance. The further out your visit is, the more likely something might come up.

Tickets from GetYourGuide & Co., on the other hand, can be canceled up to one day before. The trade-off is that they cost a few euros more.

Our Ticket Recommendation: Uffizi, Accademia, and Cathedral Dome

If you’re visiting Florence for the first time, you absolutely have to climb the dome of the Florence Cathedral and visit the Galleria dell’Accademia, where Michelangelo’s original David stands.

That way you’ll tick off three of Florence’s biggest highlights in one go.

There’s a handy combo ticket for the Uffizi, Galleria dell’Accademia, and Cathedral complex, including an audio guide for a self-guided tour of Florence.

The combo ticket is convenient and refundable. It lets you visit all three must-sees in one day at reserved time slots.

In total you’ll pay around 99 euros. That’s not cheap, but it means you don’t have to book each attraction separately, and you can cancel if your plans change.

Everything’s bundled together so you can check off all three in a single day. This is especially useful for short trips to Florence.

Booking Uffizi, Accademia, and Cathedral Dome Separately

It’s cheaper if you book the Cathedral dome, Uffizi, and Accademia separately.

The Uffizi admission costs 25 euros, the Accademia ticket is available for 20 euros on the Accademia website, and the ticket for the dome and the entire Cathedral complex is available on the Florence Cathedral website for 30 euros.

That brings your total to 75 euros.
This is only worth it if you have enough time and don’t need to visit all three attractions on the same day.

Our tip: If you’re only in Florence for a few days, buy individual tickets as far in advance as possible so you can lock in suitable time slots for all three. Or just go with the combo ticket from GetYourGuide — it’s the simpler option.

The Uffizi with the Turbopass

Florence now has its own popular City Card that gets you free entry to several attractions.

The Uffizi and the Accademia are both included in the Florence Turbopass.

You do need to reserve your Uffizi entry time when you purchase the pass.

To make it worth your while, though, you should get it for at least two days — ideally three.

It also includes several day trips to other places in Tuscany, which you’ll need extra time for.

The Simple Uffizi Ticket

The single Uffizi gallery ticket is what you need if you only want to visit the Uffizi — maybe because you’ve already seen the other highlights.

Even so, it also gives you free admission to two additional Florence museums:

• the Opificio Delle Pietre Dure museum, featuring an exhibition on the art of stone inlay from the Medici era through the 20th century;
• the National Archaeological Museum, which displays Etruscan, Roman, Greek, and Egyptian artifacts.

Individual tickets for both museums would otherwise cost 8 euros each. Both are seriously worth a visit and far less crowded than the Uffizi.

And you don’t have to visit all three museums in one day: once you redeem your Uffizi ticket, you have five days to visit the other two.

Uffizi Guided Tours

If you really want to get the most out of the Uffizi and learn about the artworks in depth, booking a guided tour is absolutely the way to go.

There are also Uffizi tours that include other Florence highlights — these are especially worthwhile if you’re short on time and want to see as much as possible. Here are three great options:

Uffizi Small Group Tour with Fast-Track Entry

Uffizi + Accademia Small Group Tour with Fast-Track Entry

Uffizi + Accademia + City Center with Fast-Track Entry
Our tip: If guided tours aren’t your thing but you still want to learn more about the artworks, rent an audio guide at the entrance — they cost 6 euros and are a great alternative.

Uffizi Highlights: Botticelli, Da Vinci, and a Secret Corridor

The Uffizi is home to a number of sculptures and paintings that even non-art lovers will recognize — the kind you’ve seen on TV, in school textbooks, and in pop art your whole life.

Among the most famous works are Renaissance masterpieces like Venus and Spring by Sandro Botticelli, The Annunciation by Leonardo da Vinci, and Angel with Lute by Rosso Fiorentino.

But the Uffizi isn’t just about the Renaissance: you can explore artworks and sculptures from antiquity to the Baroque, including excavated pieces from Rome and Greece, as well as works by Rembrandt and Rubens.

The Vasari Corridor

The Uffizi is remarkable not only for its art collections — the palace itself is genuinely stunning from an architectural standpoint.

Beyond the magnificent halls with their ceiling paintings and marble floors, the Vasari Corridor is something truly special.

It’s a roughly 1-kilometer-long passageway that connects the Uffizi with the town hall and the Palazzo Pitti, running above the rooftops of Florence.

Florence’s rulers used it to move unnoticed between palaces, away from the unsafe streets of the time.

Note: After eight years of renovation work, the Vasari Corridor reopened in December 2024. Tickets sell out fast, so book well in advance on the Vasari Corridor website.

The Uffizi Café

The Uffizi Café is something special — it’s perched on the roof of the Loggia dei Lanzi, with a stunning view of the Palazzo Vecchio and the Cathedral.

There’s a lovely outdoor terrace with tables and umbrellas. The prices are steep, though: a cappuccino costs 6 euros, a sundae 12 euros.

But even if you don’t order anything, head out to the terrace anyway — the view alone is totally worth it!

The Quick Tour of the Uffizi

The tour of the Uffizi starts on the second floor and continues on the first floor. Plan on two to three hours for both floors combined.

If you only want to see the most important highlights — works by Leonardo da Vinci or Botticelli, for example — you can limit yourself to just the second floor. This is where the most famous pieces are displayed.

At the end of the corridor, you can take the Lanzi staircase next to the café straight back down to the exit.

The shortened tour takes only one hour. There are no special tickets for it, though — you still pay the full price.

That said, the first floor is definitely worth it too, with standout works by Caravaggio and Rembrandt — so if you have the time, don’t skip it!

The Uffizi with Kids

If you’re visiting Florence with kids, a trip to the Uffizi is a great idea.

The Uffizi doesn’t offer special activities for children, apart from a few themed tours that you lead yourself. On UffiziKids you can download PDFs in English for this purpose.

For example, there’s a tour called Monsters in Art, where you and your kids hunt for artworks featuring monsters — genuinely fun for all ages.

Museum staff wearing the “UffiziKids” pin are available on-site for family-specific questions.

You can also book a guided Uffizi tour that’s specifically designed for families with children. A friendly guide takes you through the gallery and explains everything using games and little quizzes to keep kids engaged.

General Tips for Visiting the Uffizi

Buy Uffizi tickets in advance: During peak season from April to October, book at least a week ahead; in the off-season, three to four days is usually enough. If you’re still looking for a place to stay, check out our hotel tips for Florence.

Visit outside of peak hours: You can enter the Uffizi as early as 8:15 AM. Most visitors arrive after 9 AM, so you’ll have a little time to enjoy the artworks without the crowds.

Don’t miss your time slot: Your ticket is timed. If you arrive late, you can still get in — but you may lose your fast-track entry.

Wear comfortable shoes: If you do the full tour, you’ll be on your feet for two to three hours.
