Prices of the Uffizi Gallery

Although there are countless places to visit in Florence, if I had to choose one that is absolutely essential, it would be the Uffizi Gallery. It houses one of the richest art collections in the world, complete with Roman and Greek statues and other attractions.

When planning a visit to this museum, one aspect that is often very important is the price. Bear in mind that this varies depending on whether you prefer to buy a ticket for the Uffizi Gallery and visit on your own or book a guided tour of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence so that a guide can explain the most important works to you. You will also find combined tickets that include the gallery and other museums in the city.

You can get tickets to the Uffizi Gallery to visit on your own from just €37 at Helloticket. This is a perfect option for those who already have some information about what they are going to see, as it allows you to organise the tour on your own. Another advantage is quick access, as the Uffizi Gallery is the most visited museum in Florence, so queues can waste a lot of time if you haven't bought your tickets in advance.

Inside, you can explore all the rooms at your own pace, stopping at the places that interest you most. To enhance your experience, you can always pick up the maps and audio guides available at the museum entrance. This way, you can create your own itinerary and enjoy the works on display without worrying about a thing.

Of course, if you prefer to book a small group guided tour of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence to discover the interior with the explanations of an expert guide, you can purchase one from £48.

With your guided tour of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, from £48, you will learn all the secrets of the works accompanied by an expert art guide. In addition, with this ticket you will also be able to enter directly, without having to queue for long, which is typical of this museum.

The tour, designed by a guide who is knowledgeable about each of the gallery's spaces, will give you a clearer view of each of the works than if you buy tickets for the Uffizi Gallery and take the tour on your own. As with all art, these works are the product of a specific historical period, and to understand them fully, it is always helpful to have someone explain the context and why they were created. This guided tour ticket is ideal if you want to delve deeper into the history of the art housed in the gallery.

And if you want to visit three of Florence's most popular attractions: the Uffizi Gallery, the Pitti Palace and the Boboli Gardens, you can purchase a combined ticket that will give you priority access to these three wonders, as well as the National Archaeological Museum and the Opificio delle Pietre Dure Museum.

Best of all, you won't have to wait in the long queues that characterise Florence's museums, and you can visit them all from €45, a very competitive price.

Let yourself be carried away and complete this tour full of culture, art, history, and nature. Ideal for admiring the beauty of Florence.

If you want to avoid the crowds, for €72 you can visit the Uffizi Gallery first thing in the morning, before it gets completely packed. This is a guided tour of around 2 hours for small groups, during which you will learn about the museum's masterpieces, from Da Vinci to Caravaggio, not to mention Botticelli and Michelangelo.

The tour starts at 8:30 a.m., and when it ends, you can stay inside as long as you like to see the works again at your leisure.

What this type of ticket usually includes

• Specialised art guide.
• 2-hour tour for groups of no more than 15 people.
• Fast-track entry to the Uffizi Gallery.
• Headphones if the group has more than 7 members.

Purchase this ticket if

If you like to make the most of your time and start your visits very early (before all the museums get crowded), this is the right option for you. This way, you can be sure to see all the rooms more comfortably and without having to waste time queuing. In addition, the large number of masterpieces housed in the gallery can make you feel a little overwhelmed, which is alleviated by the presence of a professional guide who will tell you all the information related to what you are seeing.

Of course, if you prefer this option, you can buy tickets for the Uffizi Gallery at the ticket office. In this case, be prepared to queue for over an hour, as this museum receives thousands of visitors every year. Another option is to buy tickets for the Uffizi Gallery on the museum's website. The only problem is that it is not available in Spanish, but navigating the site is not too complicated. As for the price, it varies depending on the time of year:

• Between 1 March and 31 October: Admission to the Uffizi Gallery (including the National Archaeological Museum and the Opificio delle Pietre Dure Museum) costs around €20, although there is a reduced ticket for only €2 for EU citizens aged between 18 and 25. On the other hand, if you wish to visit the Pitti Palace, admission will cost around €16 (reduced, €2). Finally, admission to the Boboli Gardens costs another €10 (reduced, €2). The combined ticket for all three sites costs around €38, which is reduced to €21 for young people from the EU.

• From 1 November to 28 February: In low season, admission to the Uffizi Gallery drops to around €12, while the reduced price remains at €2. The Pitti Palace, meanwhile, costs around €10 during this period (€2 with reduced admission) and entry to the Boboli Gardens will cost around €6. The combined ticket for the three areas of the complex costs around €18.

From €68, you can take a guided tour of the Uffizi Gallery and add an interesting guided tour of the streets of Florence. This way, you will not only be able to see the art housed inside the museum, but you will also have an interesting introduction to the rest of the monuments in the capital of Tuscany.

What this type of ticket usually includes

• Fast-track entry to the Uffizi Gallery.
• Tour with an experienced guide who will provide information about everything you see.
• If the group exceeds 15 people, headphones will be provided.
• Walking tour of Florence to visit the exterior of monuments such as the Ponte Vecchio, the Baptistery of San Giovanni, the Cathedral of Santa Maria dei Fiori, the Piazza del Duomo, the Piazza della Signoria and the Fontana del Porcellino (don't forget to touch the nose of the boar statue in this fountain).

If, in addition to the Uffizi Gallery, you want to visit the best works in Florence's other great museum, the Accademia Gallery and Michelangelo's David, you can do so comfortably from £125. You will also take a walking tour of the most interesting areas of the city. This combination saves you money compared to booking a separate guided tour for each gallery and gives you priority access. The city tour is also conducted by a guide.

A little information about the Accademia Gallery

Fortunately, once you are in Florence, you don't have to choose between the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery, as both, in my opinion, are must-see attractions in the Italian city. Specifically, the Accademia Gallery houses one of the jewels of art history: Michelangelo's David. You can also see other works by the same Renaissance genius, such as San Matteo and Prigioni, not to mention religious works by other great masters such as Botticelli, Fra Filippo Lippi and Pontormo.

What this type of ticket usually includes

• Small groups (up to 15 people maximum).
• Professional guide specialising in art.
• Guided walking tour of the city.
• Skip-the-line ticket for both galleries.
• Ticket to the Uffizi Gallery.
• Entrance ticket to the Accademia Gallery.

Yes, the Firenze Card includes access to all the works in the Uffizi Gallery. This card costs €85 and is valid for 72 hours from its first use, allowing one entry to each of the museums included.

To enter the Uffizi Gallery with this card, you must first go to the ticket office to receive the corresponding ticket.

The Uffizi Gallery is one of the best museums in Florence, and some groups are lucky enough to be able to purchase tickets for only €2:

• Young people from the EU between the ages of 18 and 25. They must carry a valid identity document to prove their age.
• Young people of the same age from Switzerland, Norway, Uruguay and Liechtenstein.

The Uffizi Gallery is one of the best museums in Florence and one of the must-see places to visit in Florence. Every year, it offers a few days of free admission to its facilities. The calendar, which varies each season, is available on its website.

It is also worth keeping an eye on the news to see if the so-called 'Museum Sundays' will resume . Until 2020, admission was free on the first Sunday of each month, but it has not yet been announced whether this policy will continue in the near future. On the other hand, some groups have free admission to the gallery every day of the year:

• Children under 18, regardless of nationality.
• People with a disability recognised by Italian law.
• Teachers and students of certain subjects such as architecture, cultural heritage, or art and literature.
• Tour guides.
• Journalists who belong to the Italian Journalists' Association.
• Professionals belonging to the International Council of Museums.
