Our honest take
Two to four days with the Uffizi, the Accademia and a guided walk? Then the Florence City Pass is our pick: it is valid for 1 to 7 consecutive days, you visit the two big museums with a reserved time slot, and it adds a guided city tour, a bike tour and smaller museums. The catch: the Duomo complex is not included, the hop-on hop-off bus costs extra, and cancelling incurs a handling fee.
Just a handful of must-sees? With the Florence Flex Pass you pick two to seven attractions, you only decide once you are there, and you have 30 days from first use. Public transport is not included, and the bus counts as one of your choices.
The Uffizi, the Accademia and the Duomo in one package? The Florence Pass from Tiqets bundles the three main sights with fixed time slots and an audio guide app. The dome is just one of the options, and once booked the package is non-refundable.
Three days of museums in a row, with children? The Firenze Card is valid for 72 hours from your first entry, and under-18s go free when accompanied. The Duomo complex and public transport are not included.
When you don't need a pass: if you only want to see the Uffizi and the Accademia, the Uffizi & Accademia Pass with reserved entry is enough. For the dome, the baptistery and the bell tower there is the Brunelleschi Pass: three calendar days from your chosen dome date, one entry per monument.
How it works
From comparing the passes to your first museum, it only takes a few steps. Buses and trams are paid for separately in Florence: here is how you get around on site.
FAQ
Which pass is worth it, what's included, and how does booking work? Here you'll find answers to the most important questions.
There are six relevant Florence passes: the Florence City Pass (valid for 1-3 days, 20+ attractions including an optional hop-on/hop-off bus), the Florence Flex Pass (two to seven attractions of your choice, 30 days from first use), the Florence Pass (three top attractions with time-slot tickets), the Uffizi & Accademia Pass (combined ticket for the Uffizi and Galleria dell'Accademia), the Brunelleschi Pass (Cathedral Dome, Cathedral, Bell Tower, Museum of Opera del Duomo, Reparata and Baptistery), and the official Firenze Card (valid for 72 hours, 50+ attractions).
Depending on your travel style, a different pass will suit you best, if you want to see a lot, go for the Firenze Card or the Florence City Pass. If you only want to visit the highlights, the Florence Pass, the Uffizi & Accademia Pass or the Brunelleschi Pass will serve you well. With the Florence Flex Pass you only pick your must-sees and decide once you are there.
With the Firenze Card, you must make advance reservations for the Uffizi, the Galleria dell'Accademia and the Brancacci Chapel yourself.
With the Florence Pass and the Uffizi & Accademia Pass, you choose your preferred time slots directly when booking. With the Florence City Pass, your Uffizi entry is booked for the first day, and you pick up the Galleria dell'Accademia ticket at a collection point nearby before your visit. With the Florence Flex Pass, you book the Uffizi and the Accademia through the reservation tool of the pass; many other sights need no reservation. As a rule of thumb: especially in peak season, book time slots early, as popular attractions can sell out fast.
A Florence pass is worthwhile above all for first-time visitors over 25 who plan to see several attractions. Young EU citizens between 18 and 25 already get substantial discounts at most attractions, so a pass rarely pays off for them.
If you value convenience, a city pass is a good fit too: you buy one ticket and get access to many attractions, often with priority entry. Just don't expect huge savings. If you only plan to visit a few sights, individual tickets usually work out cheaper.
For families, the Firenze Card is the best choice, as children under 18 can accompany their parents free of charge, provided the parents hold a Firenze Card.
With the other passes, children need their own pass, which is discounted but not free. Since children already get free or heavily discounted entry at many Florence attractions anyway, the children's passes often aren't worth it.
Cancellation terms vary by provider. You can cancel the Florence City Pass free of charge up to 24 hours before your booked date and get a full refund. You can cancel the Firenze Card within 14 days of purchase, as long as you haven't activated it yet.
The Florence Pass and the Uffizi & Accademia Pass from Tiqets cannot be cancelled after purchase, since individual time slots are reserved. It's worth checking the cancellation terms carefully before you buy.
No, with every Florence pass you can generally only visit each included attraction once. This applies to all the common passes, whether Florence City Pass, Florence Pass, Uffizi & Accademia Pass, Brunelleschi Pass or Firenze Card.
If you want to visit an attraction again, you'll need to buy a separate ticket.
No, none of the Florence passes currently include a ticket for public transport. You'll need to buy bus and tram tickets separately. With the Florence Flex Pass, the hop-on/hop-off bus counts as one of your chosen attractions.
That said, Florence's old town is very compact and easy to explore on foot, so you usually won't need public transport for sightseeing.
