I will be in Florence with my 2 teenagers (under 18) and plan to buy a Firenze card for myself. What I am trying to find out is if I need a second Firenze card for one of the kids or if we can still go in the Firenze card line at museums and purchase discounted youth tickets for one or both kids. We are not EU citizens, but it seems one youth gets in free with one adult with Firenze card no matter the citizenship. So, is an additional Firenze card needed or no? Thank you.

Kids of all nationalities are free in most Italian museums. This is a newish policy. so with your one FC they should be fine.

Carry both passports with you as proof of age. They will both go free.
The Firenze card is overpriced for the number of museums most people are able to comfortably pack into 72 hours. The main reason people buy it is to skip the line.
If you turn up at any museum in Florence (between October and Easter) at least 20 mins prior to opening you are virtually guaranteed to walk right in. People are on holiday: nobody wants to get up early to visit a museum. Now, whether you are able to convince your two teenages the merits of this plan is another thing entirely.

Yes, you are right about teenagers and sleep, but depending on our jetlag, morning might work. We can play it by ear since we won't need a reservation. Thanks for the replies!
