Uffizi and Accademia: how it works in 2026
Michelangelo's David is in the Galleria dell'Accademia. The Uffizi are a different museum with a different ticket office. Each sells its own entry, and there is no joint single-visit ticket for the two. A guided visit or package that offers both is a third-party product that bundles two entries and, usually, a guide.
Plan two separate time slots and book the Accademia first, because the David is the reason most people come. Guided visits to both are shown below. The Accademia tours page explains the rules for guides inside the museum.
Our picks: Uffizi and Accademia in one day
Our take: the guided day is the easiest way to see both with timed tickets. The two audio options are cheaper, but both galleries come only with the combination option.
Hand-picked tours, booked through GetYourGuide. Prices are indicative starting prices in euros (as of October 2026). Tap a tour for live availability and the current price in your currency.

What each ticket costs
Prices for adults in 2026. The €53 total is simple addition of two tickets sold separately, not a joint product.
| Ticket | Price 2026 | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Accademia, entry plus reservation | €20 plus €4, so €24 | Open Tuesday to Sunday, 8:15 a.m. to 6:50 p.m.; last entry 6:10 p.m. |
| Uffizi, single visit bought on the day | €25 | Named ticket |
| Uffizi, single visit bought before the visit day | €29 | Named ticket; this is already the advance price, with no further €4 on top |
| Both separately, full price | €53 | Accademia €24 plus Uffizi €29 |
| Uffizi multi-day pass (Uffizi, Pitti, Boboli) | €40 for 5 days, €58 with the Vasari Corridor | Does not include the Accademia |
| Firenze Card | €85 for 72 hours | Includes the Accademia; free reservation is mandatory and subject to availability |
Both museums offer a €2 reduced ticket, with different eligibility rules. At the Accademia it applies to EU citizens aged 18 up to their 25th birthday, and to citizens of countries with reciprocal agreements. Children under 18 enter free.
For most visitors, two separate tickets are the clearest option: you choose the time for each and see exactly what you pay. A pass or card makes sense only if you plan several more museums.
Three ways to plan both
Same day, two slots
Take the Accademia when it opens at 8:15 a.m. and book an afternoon Uffizi slot. Leave time between them for travel and a break. Last entry at the Accademia is 6:10 p.m., so do not leave the David for the end of the day.
Two separate days
The David and the Uffizi are both large visits. Give each its own morning if you want to look slowly. The Accademia is closed on Mondays, so check the Uffizi calendar for its own closing day and plan around both.
Opening hours →A guided combination
Some third-party packages bundle both museums with a guide. Check that the offer names each entry, the meeting point and the guide separately. An offer should not promise a way around the queue or a shortcut to the David.
Accademia tours →What you see at each museum
At the Accademia the David stands in the Tribuna, built for it. The rooms around it hold the four unfinished Prisoners, Florentine paintings on gold ground and musical instruments by Stradivari. The visit is a focused one.
The Uffizi hold a much larger collection. Michelangelo's Doni Tondo, a Holy Family dated to 1505 and 1506, hangs there. It is a different work from the David. For the Uffizi rooms, the corridors and the Vasari Corridor, see our Uffizi guide and the Vasari Corridor page. More Michelangelo sites are on the Michelangelo in Florence page.
