We switched our days in Florence to arrive there a few days after Easter, rather than arriving on Easter Sunday. I'm starting to feel overwhelmed with planning and some of the ticket websites are confusing, so I was hoping someone could make sure I am booking these tickets correctly. I know it will be very crowded and busy everywhere we go, but a good plan and the right tickets always helps!
Does this sound correct?
Uffizi- Book tickets for earliest time available on first morning there. Teenage kids don't need a ticket but I should book a reservation spot for them for 4 Euro, and we have to swap out the reservation email voucher for the actual tickets while there. Kids need to have an ID or passport to verify their age since they are free to get in.
Accademia-Book tickets for as early as possible on our second day there, rather than doing both Uffizi and this on the same day. Same procedure for getting tickets.
Cathedral/Duomo ticket-Purchase the 18 Euro tickets for each of us since the kids are older than 11 and don't get in free. No need to reserve an entry time for any of the monuments under this ticket unless we want to climb to the top of the dome.
Medici chapel-Purchase the B-ticket for all of us since the kids are older than 11 and be aware the closing is very early, sometimes in the afternoon at 2 pm.
Final question. If I book the earliest entry time in the morning, does the window to exchange the voucher for the actual tickets open before the earliest entry time? Or do we just have to expect it opens at the same time the museum opens so we'd lose time exchanging the voucher for the ticket?
Thanks for all of your help.
