Prices of the Uffizi Gallery

Although there are countless places to visit in Florence, if I had to choose one that is absolutely essential, it would be the Uffizi Gallery. It is home to one of the richest collections of paintings in the world, complete with Roman and Greek statues and other attractions.

When planning a visit to this museum there is one aspect that tends to be very important: the price. You have to take into account that the price is different if you prefer to buy a ticket for the Uffizi Gallery and visit on your own or book a guided tour of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence so that a guide can explain the most important works. You can also find combined tickets that include the gallery and other museums in the city.

You can get Uffizi Gallery tickets to visit the Uffizi Gallery on your own from just €37 on Helloticket. A perfect option for those who have some information about what they are going to see, as it allows you to organise the tour on your own. Another plus point is quick access, as the Uffizi Gallery is the most visited museum in all of Florence, so queues can waste a lot of time if you haven't bought your tickets in advance.

Inside, you can wander through all the rooms at your own pace, stopping at the places that interest you most. To enhance the experience, you can always pick up the maps and audio guides provided at the entrance to the museum. This way, you can create your own itinerary and enjoy the works on display without worrying about anything.

However, if you prefer to book a guided tour of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence in a small group to discover the interior with the explanations of an expert guide, you can buy it from €54.

With your guided tour of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, from 54 €, you will learn all the secrets of the works of art accompanied by an expert art guide. With this ticket you will also be able to enter directly, without having to wait in the long queues that are characteristic of this museum.

The tour designed by a guide knowledgeable about each of the gallery's spaces will allow you to have a clearer vision of each of the works than if you buy tickets for the Uffizi Gallery and do the tour on your own. As with all art, these works are children of a certain historical period, and to understand them as a whole it is always good to have someone to explain the context and why they were created. This guided tour ticket is ideal if you want to delve deeper into the history of the art housed in the gallery.

And if you want to visit three of the most popular places in Florence: the Uffizi Gallery, the Pitti Palace and the Boboli Gardens, you can buy a combined ticket that will give you priority access to these three wonders, plus the National Archaeological Museum and the Museo Opificio delle Pietre Dure.

The best thing about it all is that you won't have to wait in the long queues that characterise Florence's museums and you can visit them all from a very competitive price of €45.

Let yourself go and complete this tour full of culture, art, history, culture and nature. Ideal to admire the beauty of Florence.

If you want to avoid the big crowds, from 72 €, you have the option of visiting the Uffizi Gallery early in the morning, before it gets too crowded. This is a guided tour of about 2 hours for small groups where you will receive information about the masterpieces housed in the museum, from those of Da Vinci to those of Caravaggio, without forgetting Botticelli or Michelangelo.

The visit starts at 8:30 and when the tour ends you can always stay inside for as long as you want to return to see the works at your leisure.

What is usually included in this type of ticket

• Specialist art guide.
• 2-hour tour for groups of no more than 15 people.
• Fast-track entrance to the Uffizi Gallery.

Buy this ticket if

If you like to make the most of your time and start your visits very early (before all the museums are full), this is the right choice for you. This way, you will be sure to see all the rooms more comfortably and without having to waste time in a queue. In addition, the sheer number of masterpieces in the gallery can make you feel a bit overwhelmed, which is alleviated by the presence of a professional guide who will tell you all the information related to what you are seeing.

Obviously, if you prefer this option, you will be able to buy your tickets to the Uffizi Gallery at the ticket office. In that case, you should be prepared to queue for more than 1 hour, as it is a museum that receives thousands of visitors every year. Another possibility is to buy tickets for the Uffizi Gallery on the museum's website. The only problem is that it does not have an English version, but navigating the site is not too complicated. As for the price, it varies depending on the time of year:

• Between 1 March and 31 October:: Admission to the Uffizi Gallery (including the National Archaeological Museum and the Museo dell'Opificio delle Pietre Dure) costs around €20, although there is a reduced ticket for just €2 for EU young people aged 18-25. On the other hand, if you want to visit the Pitti Palace, the entrance fee is around €16 (reduced, €2). Finally, entrance to the Boboli Gardens costs another €10 (reduced, €2). The combined ticket for all three sites costs around €38, which is reduced to €21 for EU youth.

• From 1 November to 28 February: In low season, admission to the Uffizi Gallery drops to around €12, while reduced admission remains at €2. The Pitti Palace, meanwhile, costs around €10 (€2 with reduced admission) and entry to the Boboli Gardens will cost around €6. The combined ticket for all three areas of the complex costs around €18.

From 68 € you can take a guided tour of the Uffizi Gallery and add an interesting guided tour of the streets of Florence. This way, not only will you be able to see the art inside the museum, but you will also have an interesting contact with the rest of the monuments of the capital of Tuscany.

What is usually included in this type of ticket

• Fast-track entrance to the Uffizi Gallery.
• Visit with an experienced guide who will inform you about everything you are seeing.
• If there are more than 15 people in the group, headphones will be provided.
• Walking tour of Florence to visit the exterior of monuments such as the Ponte Vecchio, the Baptistery of San Giovanni, the Cathedral of Santa Maria dei Fiori, Piazza del Duomo, Piazza della Signoria and the Fontana del Porcellino (don't forget to touch the nose of the wild boar statue in this fountain).

If in addition to the Uffizi Gallery you want to visit the best works of the other great museum of Florence, the Accademia Gallery and Michelangelo's David, you can do it comfortably from 143 €. In addition, you'll also get a walking tour of the most interesting areas of the city. This combination saves you money compared to booking a separate guided tour for each gallery and you will have priority access. As for the tour of the city, you will also be accompanied by a guide.

A bit of information about the Accademia Gallery

Luckily, once you are in Florence you don't have to choose between the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery, as both, from my point of view, are two must-sees in the Italian city. In particular, the Accademia Gallery houses one of the jewels of art history: Michelangelo's David. In addition, you can also see other works by the same Renaissance genius, such as the San Matteo or the Prigioni, without forgetting religious-themed works by other great masters such as Botticelli, Fra Filippo Lippi or Pontormo.

What is usually included in this type of ticket

• Small groups (up to a maximum of 15 people).
• Professional guide specialised in art.
• Guided walking tour of the city.
• Skip-the-line ticket for both galleries.
• Ticket for the Uffizi Gallery.
• Entrance ticket for the Accademia Gallery.

Yes, the Florence Pass Card includes access to all the works in the Uffizi Gallery. This card costs 85 € and is valid for 72 hours from the first use and allows you to enter each of the included museums once.

To enter the Uffizi Gallery with this card you will first have to go to the ticket office to receive your ticket.

The Uffizi Gallery is one of the best museums in Florence and some groups are lucky enough to be able to buy their ticket for only 2 €:

• Young people from the EU between 18 and 25 years old. They must bring a valid identity document to prove their age.
• Young people of the same age from Switzerland, Norway, Uruguay and Liechtenstein.

The Uffizi Gallery is one of the best museums in Florence and one of the must-see places to visit in Florence. Every year, it offers a few days of free admission to its premises. The calendar, which varies every season, is available on their website.

Also, it is interesting to pay attention to the news about the resumption of the so-called "Museum Sundays". Until 2020, admission was free on the first Sunday of every month, but there is still no notification as to whether this rule will continue to apply in the near future. On the other hand, some groups have free admission to the gallery every day of the year:

• Children under the age of 18, regardless of nationality.
• Persons with a disability recognised by Italian law.
• Teachers and students of certain degrees such as Architecture, Cultural Heritage or Art and Literature.
• Tour guides.
• Journalists belonging to the Association of Italian Journalists.
