Uffizi Gallery Tickets: Prices, Hours and Free Sundays

Which Uffizi ticket to buy

The Uffizi prices most tickets twice: a lower price if you buy on the day of entry and a higher one if you buy before that day. The extra €4 is what you pay for a guaranteed time slot. The Uffizi tickets page and the Italian price list (last modified 27 February 2026) give these adult prices:

The afternoon discount notice says the €16 price applies from 1 January 2026 to anyone entering from 4 p.m., and €20 if you buy before the day of the visit. Because the ticket office closes at 17:30 and the gallery at 18:30, an afternoon ticket gives you at most two and a half hours inside.

Working out the cost for two adults

• Booked morning visit: 2 × €29 = €58. You know your entry time, which matters in busy months.
• Same-day morning visit: 2 × €25 = €50. You save €8 but take your chances with the queue and the day's availability.
• Afternoon visit from 16:00: 2 × €16 = €32 on the day, or €40 booked. This is the cheapest paid option if two hours is enough.

If you will also visit Pitti Palace and the Boboli Gardens, compare the PassePartout. Bought separately on the day, the three cost €25 + €22 (Pitti and Boboli combined) = €47 per adult; booked ahead, €29 + €25 = €54. The PassePartout page prices the five-day pass at €40, valid for five consecutive days plus one extra day if a closing day falls in that period. You must choose a day and time for the Uffizi, and the Uffizi must be your first visit. Our Palazzo Pitti and Boboli guide covers the other half of that pass.

Is there still a low-season price?

Not on the current price list. The fares page describes itself as showing "seasonal ticket prices", but it lists a single set of prices with no low-season rate and no dates. An older Uffizi shop information page (last modified February 2024) still defines high season as 1–9 January, 21 February–9 November and 21–31 December, when the ordinary ticket costs €25. Visits from 10 November fall outside those old high-season dates, but no current official page gives a different winter price.

An early-bird notice also remains online. It describes a €19 ticket for entry by 08:55 in the high-season periods, with a section headed "From 1 January 2025"; it shows no 2026 date and no modification date. The €19 rate appears on neither the current tickets page nor the fares page (last modified 27 February 2026), which promote the afternoon discount instead, so its status in 2026 is unconfirmed. Plan on €25/€29 at any time of year and do not count on €19; if the ticket office or the official booking site offers it on your date, that is a saving.

Named tickets and how to buy

The Uffizi tickets page describes its single tickets as a "single named ticket", whether bought on the day or in advance. The Uffizi + Vasari Corridor ticket goes further: it is "nominative, personal and non-transferable, with mandatory reservation, non-refundable". Use each visitor's real name when you book, and carry ID, since free and reduced tickets also depend on proof of age or nationality.

According to the purchase page (last modified 17 March 2026), you can buy:

1. Online at the official platform, tickets.uffizi.it.
2. By phone on 800 615 615 (toll-free in Italy) or +39 055 0354135 from abroad and mobiles, daily 08:00–19:00.
3. At the ticket office under the loggia in Piazzale degli Uffizi, or at the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens ticket offices.

None of the Uffizi pages we read publishes a date-change or refund rule for the standard ticket. The older shop page says the booking confirmation is exchanged for the ticket at the ticket office, so follow the instructions in your confirmation email.

Hours, closed days and free Sundays

The Uffizi gallery page gives these hours (checked 30 October 2026):

• Open: Tuesday to Sunday, 08:15–18:30.
• Ticket office: closes at 17:30.
• Closed: Mondays, 1 January and 25 December.

On the first Sunday of every month, the Uffizi, Pitti Palace and the Boboli Gardens take part in Italy's free "Domenica al Museo". The free-entry page says there are no reservations and no priority passes that day, except for disabled visitors, their companions and pregnant women. In the coming months, that means 1 November and 6 December 2026 and 3 January 2027. Expect to queue, and arrive early if you only have one chance.

Check the Uffizi notices before you go. On 30 October 2026, for example, a national strike notice cut the Uffizi to an afternoon opening (13:30–18:30).

Free and reduced tickets

The free and reduced tickets page (last modified 19 October 2026) sets these main categories:

• Free: children under 18 of any nationality, with a passport or ID card; under-12s must be with an adult. Disabled visitors are free with priority if the disability is certified by a public authority. A doctor's or hospital certificate is not enough.
• €2 reduced: EU citizens from 18 until their 25th birthday, with passport or ID. Citizens of Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Uruguay also qualify.

Show proof of eligibility when you collect the ticket. Adults from outside these groups pay the full price.

Before you go in

The visitor rules (last modified 13 November 2025) affect how long the entry takes:

• Backpacks, bags, umbrellas and other large objects must go to the cloakroom, which is free.
• Some entrances use metal detectors; coats go through in baskets, and liquids must be shown to staff.
• Food, drink and canned drinks are not allowed in the exhibition areas.
• Photos for personal use are fine, without flash, selfie sticks or tripods.

Plan the rest of the day around the Uffizi's Monday closure: the Accademia (David) guide shows that the Accademia closes on Mondays too. If you are weighing a city pass instead of single tickets, see whether the Firenze Card is worth it.
