Florence: Uffizi, Pitti Palace & Boboli Combined 5-Day Pass

About This Experience

This is a combined ticket covering the Uffizi, the Palazzo Pitti museums and the Boboli Gardens over five days, sold with an audio app for the Uffizi, eBooks for the Palatine Gallery and Boboli, and a small Tuscan food tasting. Only the Uffizi visit has a fixed date and time. You collect the combined ticket from the operator's English-speaking staff at the Uffizi at your slot, visit the gallery with the app on your phone, then keep the ticket for Pitti and Boboli on any of the following days. The Pitti side covers the Palatine Gallery, the Gallery of Modern Art, the Costume museum and the other palace museums, plus the gardens.

At the Uffizi the reservation skips the ticket queue; everyone passes the metal detector, and the operator warns that in high season admission can be delayed. The ticket is nominal, so bring ID matching the names you gave, including for children. There is no time limit inside, but it is a single entry. Boboli closes at 4.30 p.m. from November to February and shuts on the first and last Monday of each month, so plan the garden for daylight. The museum lists the Treasury of the Grand Dukes at Pitti as temporarily closed.

The museum sells its own version of this, the PassePartout 5 Days, which also puts the Uffizi first and needs no further reservation for Pitti and Boboli. What you pay extra for here is the audio app, the eBooks, the tasting and staff on site. This suits a visitor staying three days or more who wants all three sites and prefers a phone app to a human guide. For a single Uffizi visit the Uffizi Gallery Reserved Entry Ticket with audioguide is simpler, and the Renaissance Masterpieces guided tour is the guided alternative.

The booking is non-refundable, and missing your Uffizi slot can void access to the other sites too. Keep the ticket you are given at the Uffizi; it is the only proof for Pitti and Boboli. One recent reviewer found the app would not work on an iPhone and rented the museum's audio guide instead, so download the app and bring headphones.
