Uffizi Gallery Ticket Prices 2026
For 2026 the Uffizi Gallery keeps one set of rates all year — no more high-season/low-season confusion. The one thing worth understanding before you book is the advance/on-the-day split: any ticket bought before the calendar date of your visit costs €4 more, and that €4 is the reservation fee for locking in a date and time. 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 & Combined Tickets
| Ticket Type | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard entry (before 4:00 PM) | €25 on the day / €29 in advance | Timed entry — the €4 difference is the reservation fee |
| Afternoon entry (from 4:00 PM) | €16 on the day / €20 in advance | The cheapest way in; last entry 5:30 PM, gallery closes 6:30 PM |
| Uffizi + Vasari Corridor | €43 on the day / €47 in advance | Combined ticket for the gallery and the Vasari Corridor |
| PassePartout 5 Days | €40 per adult | 5 consecutive days: one entry each to the Uffizi, Pitti Palace museums, Boboli Gardens and Bardini Garden |
| Pitti Palace + Boboli Gardens (one day) | €22 on the day / €25 in advance | Combined ticket, valid for a single day |
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
| Ticket Type | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| EU Citizens aged 18-25 | €2 | Valid ID or passport required |
| Under 18 (any nationality) | Free | Nominative ticket — the name on it must match the child's ID |
| Disabled visitors + 1 companion | Free | Disability certificate required |
| Licensed tour guides | Free | Must show official guide license |
| EU art/architecture students | Free | Valid university enrollment |
| ICOM members | Free | Valid ICOM card |
In Advance vs. On the Day
Here's where people get confused. The base ticket price is the same either way. What changes is the €4 reservation fee: buy before the calendar date of your visit and you pay it, buy on the day itself and you don't. What the fee actually buys is a guaranteed time slot — and in peak season the slots for a given day are often gone well before you arrive:
Cost Comparison
| Ticket Type | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| On the day, at the ticket office | €25 | Cash at the self-service machines, card at the staffed counters; whatever slot is left |
| In advance, official site | €29 | Standard entry plus the €4 reservation fee, timed slot |
| In advance, authorized reseller | From €26 | Timed slot + digital audio guide, free cancellation |
Afternoon entry (from 4:00 PM) is €16 on the day or €20 in advance.
My honest recommendation: book through an authorized reseller. The price is competitive, you get a guaranteed entry slot plus a digital audio guide, 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. On the day itself you simply walk to Door 1 at your reserved time and skip the ticket-office queue; the short security screening applies to everyone.
Free Entry Days
The Uffizi and the Vasari Corridor are both free on the first Sunday of every month. A ticket is still required, and it is nominative — the visitor's name is on it. The Uffizi's free ticket is issued only at the ticket-office counter on the day and cannot be booked online, so expect to queue for it. The Vasari Corridor's must be booked online in advance, or collected at the ticket office on the day if a spot is still available. I also need to be honest: free Sundays are a mixed blessing. The gallery becomes incredibly crowded, with wait times of 3-4 hours common, and the experience inside is less enjoyable when every room is packed. If budget is a concern, an afternoon ticket at €16 on the day, on a quiet weekday, gives you a far 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 reserved 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 + Vasari Corridor — €43 on the day or €47 in advance — one combined ticket for the gallery and the Vasari Corridor.
- PassePartout 5 Days — €40 per adult, valid 5 consecutive days with one entry each to the Uffizi Gallery, the Pitti Palace museums, the Boboli Gardens and the Bardini Garden. You must reserve a specific date and time for the Uffizi, and the Uffizi has to be the first museum you visit. It gives priority admission, except during free-admission periods.
- Pitti Palace + Boboli Gardens — €22 on the day or €25 in advance for both on a single day — a good add-on if you're not doing the full 5-day pass.
Money-Saving Tips
- Choose afternoon entry (from 4:00 PM): €16 on the day or €20 in advance, against €25/€29 for standard entry
- Buying on the day saves the €4 reservation fee — but you're gambling on availability, and busy days do sell out
- EU citizens aged 18-25 pay only €2 — always bring valid ID
- Under 18? Entry is free for all nationalities — but you still need a free nominative ticket, and the name on it must match the ID
- Art and architecture students at EU universities get free entry — bring your enrollment certificate
- Visiting Pitti Palace and the Boboli Gardens too? The PassePartout 5 Days covers all of them for €40
- Book through an authorized reseller for a guaranteed entry slot, a digital audio guide and cancellation flexibility
