Firenze Pass - Is it worth it - Travelling in June with family of 4 adults

Posted by on

Hi Everyone
I am traveling with my family of 4 adults . We have 3 nights and 3 1/2 days in Florence . I see there is a Firenze pass with many museums on it for 85 euro. Is it worth it? My main question is if the pass is reliable in securing reservations at the Accademia and Uffizi on very specific dates (June 4 or 5 2024). I don’t want to leave home without reservations to these two sites. This card apparently has a phone number to call to get reservations after you buy the pass, but it’s hard to tell if they do a good job of getting reserved spots.

Also, has any one been to the secret room under the Medici Chapels where Michelangelo hung out? There are reservations needed but everything appears to sell out for this portion of the museum. Any thoughts as to when one must go on the ticket site to snag 4 tickets when they are released?

Thanks!

If you were going to be there longer, I would say it was worth getting the pass, but, given your time frame, I think it would be better to just get the Uffizi and Accademia reservations, and then buy tickets for other museums on the spot, if you wish.

You have to do the math to see if it is worthwhile for your group
Will you use it for venues other than the Accademia and Uffizi?
We used it years ago on a 3 night stay and definitely got our money’s worth
Visit San Marco, Santa Croce, SM Novella, Bargello and lots more ( not sure what it covers now)

As far as getting reservations I have no experience but imagine you’ll be able to get what you need as long as you are booking early enough

For the room under Medici Chapel here is a recent thread about it
Appears they only allow 4 visitors at a time so it will be very difficult to get

You can get definitely get tickets in advance for a particular day & time for Accademia & Uffizi from their official website,

You can also do it for Bargello, Duomo Museum, Duomo Cupula, Santa Croce, Pitti Palace and Campanile. I'm not sure about Santa Maria Novella and San Marco.
