Is the Pitti Palace closed for renovations?

I cannot find tickets for it on the B-ticket site for the Uffuzi, et al. I was trying to buy the combined Pitti and Boboli ticket they advertise. I know that parts of Pitti ARE closed. Thanks.

B-ticket is the official ticketing site for many of Florence's museums.

If you're only wanting the combo Pitti and Boboli Gardens ticket - and not Passpartout 5 day tickets mentioned above - click "Buy online" under "Palazzo Pitti" on this page:

https://www.uffizi.it/en/tickets

Click "Galleria Palatina" at the top of the next page that comes up, and select a date from the calendar: a page comes up with selections for that date at the top of a long list of dates. Click "Tickets" to the right of your desired date and pick a desired entry time from the list that comes up. Click "Reduced and combo". then "Cumulativo Palatina-Boboli web" from the dropdown, and enter the amount of tickets adult and free (if you're bringing kids).

If you purchased the combined Pritti Palace and Boboli Garden tickets, do you have to visit both at the same time or can you split it up throughout the day? We want to start at the Palace, go to lunch, and then return to the gardens.

Thanks!

Entrance to the Boboli Gardens is free from the Porta Romana gate.

I purchased the Uffizi/Pitti/Boboli PassePartout thinking with the 5 days we could do the Uffizi one day and the Pitti/Boboli a different day. We booked our timed entry for the Uffizi, but when I went back to the b-tickets website, I do not see the Pitti Palace listed as an option to book a timed entry. I do see the Boboli Gardens listed. Is Pitti Palace closed? If so, guess the PassePartout was not the way to go!

Just saw that the Palatine Gallery is the listing that includes the Pitti Palace. Since I had already bought the PassePartout, I chose the Comb.Grat.PalatinaBoboli web ticket option to get a timed entry for the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens, which was 3 euros each. I’m hoping that was intended for the PassePartout holders.

You don't need a timed-entry ticket for the Pitti or Boboli with a PassePartout; only the Uffizi. From the B-ticket website for the 5-day (PassePartout) pass:
https://www.b-ticket.com/b-ticket/uffizi/default_eng.aspx.html

"Visit the Uffizi Gallery, the Pitti Palace and the Boboli Garden on a single ticket and get priority admission. The combined ticket is valid for 5 consecutive days and offers one single admission (with priority) to all the museum sites of the Uffizi, Pitti Palace, Boboli Gardens, in addition to the National Archaeological Museum and, from 1 October 2019, also the Museum of the Opificio delle Pietre Dure.

Priority admission is not valid on the occasion of days/times with free admission. With the combined ticket, it is mandatory to choose the day and the hour you wish to enter the Uffizi, which is the first museum to visit.

Only after your visit at Uffizi, you can access to Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens, without any restriction or time limit and without any other form of reservation, as long as it is included in the 5-days validity of your ticket. The ticket is valid one day more in case one closing day is included in the 5 validity days, i.e. the weekly off-day, Monday, or December 25th or January 1st."

Pitti Palace.

The Palatine Gallery is IN the Pitti Palace.

I chose the Comb.Grat.PalatinaBoboli web ticket option to get a timed
entry for the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens, which was 3 euros each.
I’m hoping that was intended for the PassePartout holders.

As stated on the b-ticket website, you did not need separate timed-entry tickets or reservations for the Pitti Palace or Boboli Gardens with a PassePartout.

Thanks so much for this info! At least I only wasted 6 euros.

Today I’m trying to get a combo ticket for the Colosseum, Forum, Palatine Hill including entry into the Colosseum. I’m going to the coopculture.it website, but cannot find this ticket anywhere. Following Rick’s advice in his 2022 Italy book, ge says to click on English, then Ticketing. I selected the date I wanted, the under Destinations chose Rome, but did not see the Colosseum listed. Has this changed since 2022 or am I missing something? Thanks!
