Tickets Florence






































































  • Booking window: Timed entry tickets open 60 days in advance and sell out 2–3 days ahead during peak season. Summer morning slots (10 am–1 pm) are the first to go, so pre-booking is essential for flexible entry windows.
  • Entrances and lines: There’s one entrance, via Via Ricasoli 58, with different access lanes: red lane for timed/skip-the-line tickets and guided tours, blue lane for onsite purchases, a group entrance, and an accessible lane to the right. Timed-entry tickets bypass the purchase queue but still go through security (15–30 min). Walk-in waits can reach 1–2 hours in summer.
  • What’s included: Access to Michelangelo’s David, the Halls of Prisoners and Colossus, painting galleries, and the Museum of Musical Instruments. No temporary exhibit supplement required.
  • Guided vs self-guided: Guided tours (~90 min) help you understand the art faster; private options offer a more personal experience. Audio guides are great for exploring at your own pace.
  • Combo tickets: Add ons with the Uffizi offer the best value; Accademia highlights sculpture and Michelangelo, while Uffizi showcases Renaissance paintings. See both tickets and guided tours in one day and save.
  • Accessibility and re-entry: The gallery is wheelchair-accessible with ramps and elevators. Large bags must be checked in at the cloakroom. Re-entry is not permitted once you exit.
  • Cancellation policies: Priority and audio tickets are refundable up to 24 h before entry; guided and combo tours allow free cancellation ≤48 h. You only have a 30-min window. Free for children under 6; discounts for EU students 18–25.

💡 Pro tip

If you're mostly here for David, a timed entry ticket is your quickest bet. If you're a first-timer or want to make it memorable, take a guided tour, which we highly insist.

What is the cancelation policy for Accademia Gallery tickets?

How long are my Accademia Gallery tickets valid for?

Your tickets are valid for the date and time of your choosing, at the time of checkout.

Can I gain access to both the Uffizi and Accademia Galleries with my ticket?

While a standard entry ticket guarantees entry to just the Accademia Gallery, you can book the Combo (Save 5%): Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour + Accademia Gallery Guided Tour that gives you access to both the Uffizi and Accademia Galleries.

What kind of topics do the guides cover during the guided tour?

The guide will cover the transformation of the Accademia from an art school to a gallery, explain how the biblical hero David defeated Goliath, tying it to Michelangelo's masterpiece, and share other significant stories related to the gallery.

Can I re-enter the gallery with my tickets?

Unfortunately, re-entry is not allowed with the same ticket once you exit the museum.

If I am in Florence for a bit and wish to explore beyond the Accademia gallery, which ticket would be best for me?

If you're staying longer in Florence, consider the Combo: Uffizi Gallery + Accademia Gallery + Florence Cathedral Square Tickets or the Accademia Gallery & Florence Skip-the-Line Guided Tour, which includes a Florentine stroll. Alternatively, opt for the Florence 5-Day Pass, covering Pitti Palace, Boboli Gardens, Palatine Gallery, the National Archaeological Museum, and more.
