Uffizi Gallery tickets at a glance

The Uffizi is a museum in a long Renaissance building beside the Arno. Giorgio Vasari built it between 1560 and 1580. The collection includes works by Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and Caravaggio, plus ancient sculpture. The Vasari Corridor starts from the same building and crosses the Ponte Vecchio, so the two sights fit well into one day.

The ticket price depends on when you buy. A ticket bought on the day of your visit is cheaper than one bought before it. There is no separate high-season price in the current price list. Prices below are for 2026 and can change.

Opening hours

Check the calendar for your date before you go.

Regular hours

The gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday from 8:15 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The ticket office stops selling at 5:30 p.m. It is closed on Mondays, on 1 January and on 25 December. Special openings are announced separately.

Afternoon entry

Since 1 January 2026 a reduced ticket applies from 4 p.m. It gives you a lower price, not a later closing time, so your visit is shorter than with a morning entry.

Free first Sunday

On the first Sunday of every month entry to the Uffizi, Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens is free. Normal reservations are not used on that day, and there is usually no priority entrance. Plan extra time.

How to book and what to bring

Tickets are personal. Since 13 October 2025 the museum sells named entries, and the name on the ticket has to match your ID. Book ahead when the city is busy. The ticket office on the day does not guarantee a place.

Buy from the museum's own ticket shop if you only need entry. That gives you the lowest price for your date. Resellers and guided tours add a guide, an audio guide or a fixed meeting point, and they usually cost more than the museum price. That can be worth it, but check that the entry ticket is part of the offer.

Groups of 11 or more people pay a group surcharge of €70 for the whole group. That is a booking fee for the group, not a price per person.

Passes and combined tickets

Worth a look if you plan more than one museum.

PassePartout

For €40 you get one entry each to the Uffizi, Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens within 5 consecutive days. Start with the Uffizi, at a fixed time. If a regular closing day falls inside the 5 days, the pass is extended by one day. With the Vasari Corridor the pass costs €58, and you take the corridor on the day of your Uffizi visit.

Annual pass

An individual annual pass costs €80, a family pass €120 and a Boboli-only pass €25. The Vasari Corridor adds €20 per adult visit and needs a reservation. The family pass is sold only at the ticket office or by phone.

The Vasari Corridor

The corridor runs from the Uffizi over the Ponte Vecchio to the Palazzo Pitti. It has its own limited tickets and a fixed route.

Uffizi Gallery: frequently asked questions

How much is an Uffizi ticket in 2026?

The full price is €25 when you buy on the day and €29 when you buy before your visit. From 4 p.m. the price drops to €16 on the day or €20 in advance. Young EU citizens in the eligible group pay €2, and children under 18 enter free.

Do I need to book the Uffizi in advance?

Booking ahead is the safer choice when the city is busy, because the ticket office on the day does not guarantee a place. Tickets carry a name, so enter it exactly as it appears on your ID.

When is the Uffizi closed?

It is closed on Mondays, on 1 January and on 25 December. The regular hours are Tuesday to Sunday, 8:15 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., with the last ticket sold at 5:30 p.m.

Is the Uffizi free on some days?

Yes. Entry is free on the first Sunday of each month, together with Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens. Children under 18 are free every day with proof of age.

Does a ticket include the Vasari Corridor?

Not the standard ticket. A combined ticket for the Uffizi and the corridor costs €43 on the day or €47 in advance. The corridor has a small quota and a fixed time, so book it early.

How long should I plan for the Uffizi?

With the standard combined ticket, the Uffizi entry comes two hours before your corridor time. That is a useful rule of thumb for a focused visit. Leave more time if you want to see the whole collection.
