Do I need tickets to enter Palazzo Vecchio?

Yes, tickets are required to enter the museum areas of Palazzo Vecchio, including the grand halls and private chambers. The main courtyard, however, can be visited for free.

Should I book my tickets in advance?

It’s highly recommended, especially in peak season, as time slots can sell out quickly. Advance booking also saves you around 30-60 minutes of waiting time in queues.

Is entry free on Sundays?

Entry is not free every Sunday, but Palazzo Vecchio often participates in Italy’s free museum day (the first Sunday of each month).

How much time should I plan to spend inside?

Most visitors spend around 1.5 to 2 hours exploring the museum, or closer to 3 hours if you include the tower climb or a guided tour.

Is a guided tour of the palace worthwhile?

Yes. Guided tours offer access to areas like the Secret Passages and bring to life the stories of the Medici, making the visit far more immersive.

Why are separate tickets required for the Arnolfo Tower?

Since access is limited and involves a steep staircase climb, the Arnolfo Tower requires a separate ticket and timed entry for safety reasons.

Is climbing the tower safe?

Yes, though the 223 steps are steep and narrow. It may not be suitable for visitors with mobility issues, heart conditions, or fear of heights. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Are combo tickets a good option?

Yes. Combo tickets that pair Palazzo Vecchio with the Uffizi or Accademia allow you to skip queues and cover multiple landmarks in one day or on separate days, often at a cost-effective value.

What is the cancelation policy for Palazzo Vecchio tickets?

It depends on the ticket you choose to book. While some tickets offer a full refund if canceled within 48 hours, others cannot be canceled, amended or refunded.

Can I visit Palazzo Vecchio with children?

Definitely. Kids often enjoy the grand halls, frescoes, and interactive exhibits. The tower climb can also be exciting for older children, though strollers aren’t allowed.

Is there a dress code for visiting?

No strict dress code applies, but as it is a historic civic and ceremonial building, modest attire is appreciated. Comfortable shoes are advisable for the tower climb.

Beautiful chapel, for me the highlight in Florence. The entrance is super organized, the staff is very nice and helpful. The management of Florence Cathedral should learn a lesson here.

This experience was seamless and easy to navigate. The guide walked us right to the gallery and directed us to the appropriate line, which moved quickly. The gallery itself was wonderful - obviously The David is a must see if you are in Florence, but there are many other religious artifacts, as well (pieces of frescoes from churches, and paintings galore). The gallery of plaster casts of statues was amazing. Highly recommend.

The overwhelming art collection and the size of the museum. What we didn't like is the queue before entering although we had prebooked tickets with timeslot.

Well worth the visit for the scale and history of the palace. Reception staff etc were friendly and helpful, and it wasn't busy, so plenty of time to absorb the detail.

Great experience. We were a little late, but that wasn't a problem. The view from the Torre is very worthwhile, the climb is sporty.
