How to plan a visit to the Galleria degli Uffizi

The Uffizi Gallery is beside Piazza della Signoria, in Florence’s historic centre. It belongs to the Uffizi Galleries museum complex, which also includes Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens.

Its central location makes it easy to include in a day around the old town. For a route that takes in several sights, see the one-day Florence walking itinerary.

Buy a ticket in advance if you want to avoid lengthy admission queues, particularly during busy periods. Each ticket permits one entry and cannot be reused.

A regular single-entry ticket costs €25 when purchased on the day of entry, or €29 when purchased before the entry date. Reduced admission costs €2 and free admission costs €0, subject to eligibility rules.

You can buy tickets through the official ticketing platform, at the ticket office under the loggia in the Uffizi square, or by calling the ticket centre. The ticket office closes at 5:30 p.m.; visitors are invited to head to the exit at 6:30 p.m.

It is closed on January 1 and December 25. Opening hours and ticket prices can change, so check the official site before you go.

A five-day ticket costs €40 for the Uffizi, Palazzo Pitti, and Boboli Gardens. Uffizi admission must be booked as the first museum visit.

Allow time for the Uffizi itself before adding other museums to your plans: the multi-site ticket covers Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens as well, but gives you five days to use it. The available ticket facts do not identify individual artworks or recommended gallery routes, so check the museum’s current visitor information for collection details before your visit.

For a broader sense of how the gallery fits into the surrounding area, the Florence old town neighbourhood guide covers the historic centre.

The Uffizi is about 0.3 km from Santa Croce, a two-star hotel, making it easy to include the gallery in a visit to Florence’s historic centre.

The Uffizi provides information about priority entry, accessible ticket offices and entrance, wheelchair and walker rental, guide dogs, accessible toilets, and prams and pushchairs. Visitors with disabilities and one qualifying companion can receive free priority admission subject to documentation requirements; European citizens with a European Disability Card are entitled to free admission and priority access.

Children under 18 can enter free with a passport or identity card. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Guide dogs for blind visitors and service dogs assisting disabled visitors are permitted; service dogs must be on a leash, and the museum requests advance notice.
