Visiting Florence’s duomo, Uffizi, and acadrmia

Hi all, I will be in Florence soon, and I am wondering when to get in line for Florence’s attraction. If I have a reservation to climb the duomo at 2:15, what time should I get in line? How far in advance should I be at the ticket collecting place and then museum entrance for the Uffizi and Academia?

The Duomo entrance times to climb are every 45 minutes I believe. I got in line about 35-40 minutes early, just after the last entrance time entered and was one of the first few in line. The advantage is you’ll get a few extra minutes at the top over people who are further back in line. Line was nicely shaded in the afternoon. Strongly recommend bringing a bottle of water, you’ll be thirsty by the top.

For Uffizi got there about 15 minutes before the time and there was a short line to get the tickets, I was given the Accademia tickets I’d preordered at the same time which was useful. Huge lines to actually get into both places but much worse at Uffizi in our experience.
