Florence Money-Saving Passes & Cards

shopping_bag Buy on firenzecard.it or the official Firenzecard app (iOS 16+/Android 11+). Physical card pickup at the Uffizi ticket desk, Accademia desk, or tourist info points. Online purchase is valid up to 6 months before first use — the 72-hour clock only starts at your first museum scan.

Worth it only if you plan 5+ major museums in 72 hours and can start early on day one. The 72 hours is wall-clock, not calendar days — a 10am first scan expires at 10am on day 3. No refund after personalization. ID required at every scan.

shopping_bag Buy directly on tickets.duomo.firenze.it. The dome climb requires a specific reserved time slot — book it 2–4 weeks ahead in peak season. Mandatory stairs, no elevator. Pickup not needed: the pass is a QR code on your phone.

The only way to climb the dome. Non-negotiable if Brunelleschi's dome is on your list. The Giotto Pass (€20) is the smart swap if you want the views without the dome climb — Campanile gets you equivalent rooftop Florence shots.

shopping_bag Buy on galleriaaccademiafirenze.it or bargellomusei.it — the pass launched March 15, 2026, so older guides don't mention it. Reservation for Accademia is still mandatory even with the combined pass. Avoid reseller sites quoting €50+ for these bundles.

The best value pass in Florence for Michelangelo or Renaissance-sculpture travelers. €38 for 5 sites vs €85 Firenze Card covering 60+ — if your list is David, Bargello, Medici Chapels and you don't care about Uffizi, this wins by €47.

shopping_bag Buy on amicidegliuffizi.it or at the Uffizi membership office. Expires Dec 31 regardless of purchase date — buying in November gives you ~2 months for €80. Non-refundable. Bring photo ID; card is personalized.

Niche but useful for repeat visitors or locals-at-heart. Beats the Firenze Card if you're staying 5+ days, want to revisit the Uffizi without a 72-hour countdown, or will return to Florence the same calendar year.

shopping_bag Sold by Tiqets on onlinecitypass.com. We list it because tourists ask about it — but the same three tickets booked directly (Uffizi €29 + Accademia €24 + Brunelleschi €30 = €83) cost €13–€15 less and carry no reseller risk.

Skip. €97 for 3 attractions when the Firenze Card gives you 60+ for €85, or you can self-book the same three sites direct for €83. The only edge is flexible dates vs the Firenze Card's 72h window, and that's achievable by buying individual tickets.
