Uffizi Gallery Ticket Prices 2026
Starting in 2026, the Uffizi Gallery has simplified its pricing structure with year-round rates. No more confusion about high season vs. low season — just consistent pricing throughout the year. Here's the complete breakdown of every ticket type, discount, and cost so you know exactly what to budget.
Standard Ticket Prices
2026 Uffizi Gallery Admission
| Ticket Type | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|

| Ticket Office | €25 | Walk-up at Door 2 |
| Afternoon Entry (after 4 PM) | €20 | Online booking |
Reduced & Free Tickets
Italy's state museums offer generous discounts for certain categories. At the Uffizi, these apply year-round regardless of season:
Discounted & Free Entry

| Under 18 (any nationality) | Free | Proof of age required |

Online vs. Walk-Up Prices
Here's where people get confused. The base ticket price is the same whether you buy online or at the door. The difference is the booking fee and the time you save:
Cost Comparison
| Ticket Type | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Walk-up (Door 2) | €25 | 1-3 hour wait |
| Official site pre-book | €29 | Standard entry, skip the line |
| Authorized reseller | From €26 | Skip the line, free cancellation |
Afternoon tickets (after 4 PM) available for €20 online.
My honest recommendation: book through an authorized reseller. The price is competitive, you get skip-the-line access, and most offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before your visit. That flexibility alone is worth it — Florence weather can be unpredictable, and plans change.
Free Entry Days
The Uffizi offers free admission on the first Sunday of every month. However, I need to be honest about this: free Sundays are a mixed blessing. The gallery becomes incredibly crowded, with wait times of 3-4 hours common. The experience inside is also less enjoyable when every room is packed. If budget is a concern, visiting during low season (€12) on a weekday gives you a much better experience than a free Sunday.
Combo Tickets & Passes
If you're visiting multiple museums in Florence, consider these options:
- Uffizi + Accademia combo tour — See both museums in one day with a guide. Typically €89-120 per person including skip-the-line entry to both. See combo tour details →
- Firenze Card — €85 for 72 hours of museum access across Florence (72+ museums). Worth it if you're visiting 5+ museums. Includes the Uffizi, Accademia, Palazzo Pitti, and Boboli Gardens.
- Uffizi + Palazzo Pitti + Boboli — A combined 5-day pass is sometimes available through the official booking system. Check availability at the ticket office.
