Things to do in Florence

Choose the place first. The Duomo dome, the Uffizi with its Vasari Corridor, the Accademia and the Pitti side each follow different ticket rules, and a Tuscan day out splits by destination before format.

Featured products use provider recommendation signals, but editorial choices remain independent of commission, price, availability and review count.

1. 01

   Pick the Duomo product that names the dome slot

   The dome is the one Duomo monument entered at a booked start time, so a start time is the line to look for in any Duomo product. A product that lists the cathedral, the Baptistery or the bell tower without one should be read as leaving the climb out.

   Best for Visitors who want the dome climb rather than only the cathedral, Baptistery and museum

   Consider A dome start time commits the first morning to the Duomo. The slot cannot be moved once issued, so keep the afternoon free of other fixed entries.

2. 02

   Uffizi entry, or the Uffizi with the Vasari Corridor

   The gallery and the corridor are separate reservations. The corridor is a one-way walk over Ponte Vecchio that ends on the Pitti and Boboli side, so a corridor product is a different plan from a plain gallery entry, not an upgrade to it.

   Best for Visitors choosing between a morning in the gallery alone and a longer route that ends south of the river

   Consider A corridor product fixes the gallery entry about two hours before the corridor slot. It also fixes the exit on the south bank, so the rest of the day starts there.

3. 03

   Accademia entry, or a guided visit built around the David

   The museum is organised around the walk from the Gallery of the Prisoners to the Tribuna, which makes a guide useful for context and a plain entry enough for a direct visit. A reserved entry time is what either option secures.

   Best for Visitors deciding whether context or speed matters more at the David

   Consider Mondays and the free-admission days, when booking is switched off, cannot be booked around, so pick the day before the product.

4. 04

   Pitti Palace and Boboli: two tickets or the combined ticket

   Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens are sold separately and as a combined ticket, and a five-day pass spans the Uffizi, Pitti and Boboli. A product that names only one of the three has not covered the others.

   Best for Visitors giving the south bank a half day or more

   Consider The gardens are open on most Mondays when the palace is shut. A garden-only ticket therefore works on a Monday, while a combined ticket needs a day when both are open.

5. 05

   Choose the Tuscan destination before the tour format

   Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa and the Chianti villages lie in different directions and on different transport, so a product that combines them divides the day between stops. Naming one destination keeps the day at that place.

   Best for Visitors adding a third or fourth day outside the city

   Consider Two destinations in one day mean two transfers, which shortens the time on the ground at both. Cinque Terre in Liguria fills a day by itself.
