I just want to make absolutely sure that we dont need reservations for the Uffizi or the Accademia if we have the Firenze pass. I cant find anything on the Firenze website that states this outright. I am booking travel for a group and would hate to mess this up!
Thanks!
You don't need reservations and can skip the ticket-buying line. That is the main benefit of the pass, since the average traveler won't see enough museums in three days to equal its cost of €72 per person.
Okay thank you.
Everyone keeps saying the pass is so expensive but when you add up the costs of booking on line, where they charge an extra fee. It doesnt really seem that bad. I know for the dates we are going the Uffizi and the Accademia are each 16,50 Euro.
You can skip the lines with the pass. We did that last week when some of the lines were one hour plus, and at the Duomo, outside in the blazing sun. As it has been 95 degrees (F) plus in much of Italy for the past two weeks, skipping the line made the high cost of the card worthwhile. At the Accademia, they have a limit on how many inside at a time, so we did wait about 15 minutes. But the line to buy tickets was almost two hours.
Hope this isn't too late, but I was just researching the Firenze pass for myself, and I noticed the following information posted on their website's FAQ page which might affect your group:
"Is admission guaranteed for large groups with Firenzecard?
The access in some museums can be conditioned by the amount of people at the time. So for groups larger then 10 people, in cases of large crowds, it might be necessary to divide the group."
