Florence · SKIP-THE-LINE TICKETS
Almost everything worth queueing for in Florence sells a reserved slot instead. These 15 cover the galleries, the dome and the palaces, with prices, what the reservation fee buys and how early each one needs booking.
Visit Florence’s Uffizi Gallery with timed entry, Botticelli, Michelangelo, and an English audio guide, at your own pace.

See Michelangelo’s David in Florence with skip-the-line entry, optional audio guide, and time to explore the Accademia Gallery at your own pace.
“The communication re the pickup point office could have been clearer. They were very busy and many people were unsure where to come to. Otherwise the staff and whole experience at David Accademia were excellent.”
Handle Leonardo da Vinci’s working machines in Florence, from tanks to catapults, with hands-on displays, workshops, and a smartphone audio guide.
“We went with our teenage boys and they spent over an hour trying out all of the inventions. We weren’t sure that they would like it because they are not a fan of museums. However we were the ones waiting on them. A BIG win! And it was amazing to see what DaVinci accomplished through being curious throughout his lifetime.”
Save time at Florence’s Uffizi with a reserved entry ticket, host assistance, and a multilingual audio app for Renaissance masterpieces.
“The skip the line was perfect because it was very crowded”

“Booked a guided tour. No guided tour. Very disorganized. No communication from the operator, several of us were just dropped off at the entrance and that was it. I have booked many Viator tours and this was the worst.”
Review of Florence’s Uffizi small-group tour, with skip-the-line entry, expert guides, Renaissance highlights, stair access, and practical tips.
“Skip the line is not really a thing. We were scheduled at 930 am but they moved us to 10am. Even with skip the line, we waited for 45 minutes in the priority line. Coupled with the late start it was a good thing we didn't have anything else scheduled.”
Review Palazzo Vecchio in Florence with skip-the-line entry, audio or tablet guide, and an optional Arnolfo’s Tower climb.
“Skip the lines are a must and money well spent. Otherwise, plan on spending some serious wait time for the larger venues. As far as the tours themselves, all of our tour guides were very knowledgeable and their English was fine. However, for us the actual live guide was not a make or break, especially for the smaller museums or cathedrals. It would really depend on your specific preferences.”
Timed Accademia entry in Florence gets you close to Michelangelo’s David, unfinished sculptures, Medici instruments, and Renaissance art.
“Easy to locate for ticket. E-Book was useful. Person in the ticket office was very helpful and got everything I needed on my phone in a flash.”

“We loved the concert , the pieces were fairly short each but beautifully done with opera ans piano intervals , and the time flew by, short interval 2/3 through - nb the hostel next door was closed so unsure if a toilet would have been available if needed as the hostel is closed from approx nov- march.”

“The guide that we go was good but the place felt underwhelming given the money and time it takes to enter. David was the only magnificent piece. Everything else was repetitive.”
Pick a gallery, a kitchen or a road south.
