How to book entry to the Uffizi Gallery and Galleria dell'Accademia with Firenzecard?
"Your Firenzecard includes entry to the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery, as well as the reservation fee and any special exhibitions at no additional cost. For Firenzecard holders there are dedicated time slots, but you must reserve your entry time and the reservation is subject to availability. Once you have a reservation, access the museum at the “priority access” door for reserved ticket holders. Note, you must reserve for each Firenzecard holder including any minors associated with the card.
You must make a reservation for the Uffizi or Accademia as follows:
Method 1: by phone
If you are not yet in Florence, we recommend that you book by phone and in advance calling the Firenze Musei call centre at +39 055 294883
• Operating hours for phone center: from 8:30am to 6:30 pm CET Monday to Friday; from 8:30am to 06:00pm CET on Saturday; from 09:00 to 06:00pm CET on Sunday and holidays.
• Choose your language, press 3 for bookings with Firenzecard and 1 to consent to data processing. Ignore any automatic messages that may indicate time slots not available.
• To book with the operator as a Firenzecard holder you must simply provide your first and last name. You will receive a reservation code that you must present at the ticket office along with your Firenzecard.
Method 2: in person
If you are already in Florence you can also book Uffizi and Accademia tickets in person when in Florence at the following booking offices by showing your Firenzecard or the purchase voucher. You can also transform phone bookings into physical tickets at these offices:

You can buy Firenzecard and book and collect your Uffizi or Accademia entries also directly at the following museum ticket offices:

For the Accademia Gallery, after making your reservation, collect your ticket in via Ricasoli n.51 and then follow the directions (Red Point With reservation for groups of up to 6 people; Green Point With reservation for groups of 7 or more people)."
Just checking, you'll be in Florence for longer than just Sept. 14th, right?
Yes. 9/13/24 to 9/17/24
Excellent! Was worried that you didn't have enough time to make good use of the those passes. :O)
I was there this past April. Heads up! The Uffizi let us in fairly close to our 'timed entry.' The Accademia, on the other hand, had over a 2 hour delay on entries. Yes, Florence was that crowded!
