E' uno dei mesi più belli. Dipende tanto anche dalla fortuna. Uno può beccare una settimana di pioggia, come anche una settimana di sole e caldo. Quest'anno i miei ospiti dell'inizio mese hanno visto Firenze sotto la pioggia. Quelli arrivati a fine mese si sono goduti un clima perfetto.

The internet has rights? I'm surprised the museums and tourist attraction sites in Italy don't outsource their IT work, I haven't been able to input my DOB into B-ticket for 2 months now because the website is such crap.

What I meant is that there are some rules that govern the virtual world that Italian institutions seem to ignore. The virtual ticket office of the Uffizi is managed by an external company, but it's a crap. The internal system they use to manage the bookings is even worse. It's really terrifying how bad they are at it...

I saw on the b-ticket web, that there is an option, after selecting the date and time, to select also kind of convined entrance that sais "Cumulativo Palatina-Boboli web". is Palatina same than Palazzo Pitti?

Hi, I am an professional guide in Florence, so it's not an advice based on one single visit to the city. The Uffizi is a huge building, so consider that it will take you around 20 minutes to enter and to start your visit on the second floor of the Gallery. If you want to visit the second floor only, you need another 1h30', so 2 hours in total. For a full visit on both floors of the Uffizi, you have to count minimum 3 hours inside. If you come to Florence for one day, all depends on the schedule of your trains. I would suggest a 2-hours visit and then an aperitivo somewhere before getting on the train.

Ciao Why do you need to write the time? If for example you put 12:00 - 12:15 what does it mean? You can enter only at that time? Also is there a time limit how much you can stay inside?
@guidemeflorence9723
@guidemeflorence9723 Жыл бұрын
Hi, yes, the pre-booked tickets are timed tickets. When you book your entrance at 12:00-12:15 you are expected to enter around that time. You will be able to pick up your ticket 10-15 minutes before your scheduled time and then you will be let in. At the Uffizi they have margins of flexibility, so if you run late, you will still be let it. At the Accademia Gallery this is not the case. They are very precise with the timeslots and you will not be let in if you're more than 30 minutes late. There is not time limit for your visit. You can remain inside the museum until its closure. It's the same in every single museum.

It is possible but the line at the Accademia will be very, very long (ca. 2 hours). At the Uffizi if you come early in the morning, before 9 am you can get the ticket without a long wait. During the day the wait can be up to 1 hour.

Does this allow you to skip the line or do you have to line up still?
@guidemeflorence9723
@guidemeflorence9723 Жыл бұрын
The answer is yes and no at the same time 😉. The line you skip is the line to the ticket office which is very, very slow, because in high season the number of tickets available directly at the museum is low. So, during the high season, from April until late October, if you want to be sure you'll enter the gallery in a reasonable amount of time, you HAVE TO pre-book your ticket. That being said, keep in mind that you will have to pick up your ticket at the door number 3. Depending on the time of your visit (month, day of the week or particular feast like Easter or 2 November that are very crowded) it can take you from 2 to 20 minutes. If you book a guided tour with a private guide, your guide will be able to skip this line and pick up your tickets rapidly. Once you got your ticket you have to enter the gallery and again, depending on the day there can be a line for the security checks at the entrance. It may happen on Tuesdays (the most busy days at the Uffizi and at the Accademia) and in particularly busy periods (for example when Italian have long weekends like 1 May, Easter, 2 June, 2 November, 8 December). The only way how to skip all the lines is to visit the gallery after closure, but it costs 20 000 euro 😉 otherwise you can pretend to be King Charles III. I am kidding, obviously, but you have to remember that the Uffizi are the most frequently visited museum in Italy. Don't be surprised if you will find there many other people who will try getting to the gallery with you at the same time. Booking a guided tour is a smart idea, also because your guide will navigate you through this complicated entrance procedure.

Hi, the audioguides are available inside the museum. After you pass the security checks, you will find an audioguide-stand where you can rent them. I don't know if there are good, because I've never used one. If you travel alone and a private guide is over your budget, you can also find a group tour. On Viator and Get Your Guide you will find many tours that last 1h30' and cost ca. 60 euro per person with ticket included. Private tours are much more convinient if there are 3 or more people in the party!

@guidemeflorence9723
@guidemeflorence9723 Жыл бұрын
The answer is articulated. I think it's misleading to call those tickets 'skip-the-line-tickets' like almost everybody does. It gives you the idea that you arrive there and immediately you can access the museum. This is not how it works. You do skip the line to the main ticket office. The wait in that line can be up to 3 hours in high season. The pre-booked entrance (because this is what this ticket really is) is the only way to make sure you will enter the museum on the selected date more or less at the time you've chosen for your visit. HOWEVER, when you arrive to the museum you will have to wait in the line together with all the other visitors who booked the same time slot. The Accademia Gallery is small. They make sure that only certain number of visitors is inside, in order to guarantee security and safety also for the art works preserved inside. Moreover, before you enter you have to go through a security check. With reduced spaces, it all takes a bit of time. If there are no particular delays, you can enter the Gallery in about 15-20 minutes. If it rains or there are some other issues (like someone needing medical help) the delay and your wait in the line can take longer. In extreme cases it happened to me to enter with 1 hour delay. Fortunately it doesn't happen every day. So, be prepared that when you arrive in front of the gallery you will find MANY PEOPLE there waiting in various queues. You can ask people in green t-shirts 'firenze musei' all the information about the queue you have to wait in. OR contact me to organize your guided tour at the gallery! In that case your guide will take care of everything and you will enjoy the visit without a headache.

The word 'named' at the Uffizi and Accademia depend on the fact that in order to buy those tickets you actually have to give your name, surname and date of birth. This is done to avoid that big companies buy big numbers of tickets for resell. So you can get reduced ticket for every museum. And the answer to the second question is no. You collect every ticket at a different museum.
