FLORENCE, THE UFFIZI GALLERY - ADVANCE BOOKING AND ONLINE TICKET RESERVATION

SO MANY DIFFERENT TICKETS - I'M CONFUSED!

Don't be - we've made it all a lot easier. Simply select the ideal date for your visit to the Uffizi Gallery by clicking on the calendar (the small square icon) below, and our system will automatically present you with the relevant ticket options for that date*.

If possible we would urge you to give us alternative dates, in order to avoid the 'fully booked' email - to do so simply click the 'I'm willing to be flexible' box below - you'll be able to suggest alternative dates in a moment. Next, select the type of ticket you require (see further down the page for some help with this), and then press the 'Click to continue with booking' button.

(Do remember that dates are in European (day-month-year) format, and that the Uffizi Gallery is always closed on Mondays.)

WHICH TICKET TYPE DO I NEED?

1. Children under the age of six pay nothing - neither do they have to reserve as such - please do specifiy the number of children in your group that are under this age, however.

2. EU complimentary tickets are available to European citizens under the age of 18 or over the age of 65. Tickitaly are still charged by the authorities to make this kind of reservation, hence the small charge.

3. Reduced price tickets are available to European citizens aged between 18 and 25 years old - this ticket allows full entrance to the Uffizi without restriction. Proof of ID (usually a passport) will be required.

4. Full priced tickets are for all non European citizens, as well as European citizens between the ages of 25 and 65.

*A word on the 'Exhibition' or 'No exhibition' tickets ... if there's no special exhibition at the time of your visit, the ticket costs slightly less than it does if there IS one. If there's a special exhibition, you have no choice but to pay for this marginally costlier ticket, irresepective of whether you intend to view said exhibition or not. Again, our system will automatically present you with the appropriate choices. Click here for information on the 2008 Giotto exhibition.
