Experience Florence

There are five relevant Florence passes: The Turbopass Florence (valid for 1–7 days, 15+ attractions including optional hop-on/hop-off bus), the Florence Digital 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, Opera del Duomo Museum, Reparata and Baptistery), and the official Firenze Card (valid for 72 hours, 50+ attractions).

Depending on your travel style, a different pass is suitable – if you want to see a lot, go for the Firenze Card or Turbopass. If you only want to visit the highlights, the Digital Pass, Uffizi & Accademia Pass, or Brunelleschi Pass will serve you well.

With the Firenze Card, you must make advance reservations for the Uffizi, Galleria dell'Accademia, and Brancacci Chapel – you need to take care of this yourself.

With the Florence Digital Pass and Uffizi & Accademia Pass, you select your desired time slots directly when booking. With the Turbopass, you receive time-slot tickets for the Uffizi and Galleria dell'Accademia. Generally speaking: especially during peak season, you should book time slots early, as popular attractions can quickly sell out.

A Florence pass is particularly worthwhile for first-time visitors over 25 years old who want to visit multiple attractions. Young EU citizens between 18 and 25 years old already receive significant discounts at most attractions, so a pass rarely pays off for them.

If you like convenience, you'll also benefit from a city pass: you buy just one ticket and get access to many attractions – often with skip-the-line entry. However, you shouldn't have exaggerated expectations of savings. If you only want to visit a few attractions, you'll usually travel cheaper with individual tickets.

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 receive free or heavily discounted admission to many Florence attractions anyway, the children's passes are often not worthwhile.

Cancellation conditions differ depending on the provider. You can cancel the Turbopass Florence up to one day before departure, with a fee per pass applying. You can cancel the Firenze Card within 14 days of purchase, as long as you haven't activated it yet.

The Florence Digital Pass and Uffizi & Accademia Pass from Tiqets cannot be cancelled after purchase, as individual time slots are reserved. It's therefore recommended to carefully check the cancellation conditions before purchasing.

No, with every Florence pass you can generally only visit each included attraction once. This applies to all common passes – whether Turbopass, Digital Pass, Uffizi & Accademia Pass, Brunelleschi Pass, or Firenze Card.

If you want to visit an attraction again, you must buy a separate ticket for it.

No, currently none of the Florence passes include a ticket for public transport. You must purchase bus and tram tickets separately.

However, Florence's old town is very compact and easy to explore on foot, so you usually don't need public transport for sightseeing.
