I'm planning 2-3 days in Florence, and want to see the Acacademia, Uffizi, and possibly the Palazzo Vecchio. What is the cheapest way to get tickets safely with out getting scammed? I see a lot of combined tickets sites out there. Or should i just buy all individually? Has anyone ran into problems ordering tickets direct from the museums' websites?

I would highly recommend purchasing the Friends of the Uffizi membership. You can find out more information at

We joined in February 2009 before our May trip to Italy. We found it was probably about the best thing we did to make our trip easy. We were able to go into the museums in the list whenever we wanted to. We visited the Uffizi 3 times, the Academia, the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens, the Barghello, and the Medici Palace. The family membership was 100 Euros, but you get the single membership for 60 Euros. We never stood in lines, never needed reservations, went in as often as we wished. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Pink,
The official site for booking with just the reservation fees and no other add-ons is http://www.b-ticket.com/b-ticket/uffizi/. I have not come across any place where you can get the tickets cheaper.
