Having just posted about some special late night openings on the night of the 16th March 2011, now follows the official announcement from the Florence authorities that there will be free entry to the major Florence museums and galleries on the national holiday of March 17th.
If you are visiting on the 17th March 2011 please note that you still have to make a booking, and both tickitaly and the museum charge a booking fee – it is the actual ticket that is free of charge.
We’ll be updating all of our product calendars during today to reflect the above, and please be aware that products such as guided tours, excursions and so on are not covered by this.
The following venues are affected:
Uffizi Gallery, David at the Accademia, the Bargello, Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens, the Medici Chapels.
