Uffizi and Accademia tickets: how early to book, prices and which slot to choose

Book both as soon as your dates are fixed — and don’t put them back to back.

PROTOTYPE · SEO/GEO article v1 · facts from the EmweGo guides (checked 2026-09-23) · question source: Traveller-questions research A01–A10 (Reddit, forums), 23 Sep 2026 (A04)
Short answer

Book both before you travel — morning slots go first. On EmweGo you can reserve timed entry or a guided visit. Official prices: Uffizi €29 booked in advance, €25 on the day, or €16 from 16:00; the Uffizi is open Tuesday–Sunday 08:15–18:30 and closed on Mondays. The Accademia (Michelangelo’s David) is €20 + €4 booking. Allow 2–3 hours for the Uffizi, 60–90 minutes for the Accademia, with a lunch break between them.

Free first Sunday = queue

Verified 2026-09-23
Entry is free on the first Sunday of the month, but no reservations are possible — you queue. With little time, a paid, booked slot is usually better.
