Hi:
We are planning to visit Uffizi when we are in Florence(we will be there on a Sunday). Do you recommend buying the tickets from here? We will be in Florence on Sept 4th.
Thanks

Hi Putti,
Cutting and pasting from my own notes, that I have cut and pasted originally from Ira's Italy helpful hints thread:
Uffizi and Academia Museum Reservations, The easiest and cheapest way is to call Florence 011 (U.S. international access code) 39 (Italy's country code) then 055-294-883 8:30-18:30 M-F and 8:30-12:00 Sat. Florence time. You will get an English speaking operator and in 2-3 minutes YOU CAN RESERVE FOR BOTH. This is through the reservation service at the Uffizi and costs beyond the normal entry fee only about 3 euro for the service. This is MUCH cheaper than the commercial booking services.
You will not be charged for the reservations unless you use them.
Happy travels, Tiff

Buy tickets from here and do it as soon as possible. We have friends who are visiting Florence this month and they had a difficult time getting reservations for a time when they would be in Florence. I have read on this forum this summer that some were unable to reserve even when they called as long as 3 weeks in advance. Call 011-39-055-249-833. And don't miss the David at the Accademia, you can make a reservation at the same telephone #.

Aren't there a supply of tickets that are not reserved - for the walk up crowd? Or are all tickets reserved and therefore liable to be booked. Can't just show up and wait (and wait) in line? I think the museum is open late at night some nights to alleviate crowding?

Hi Pal,
>Aren't there a supply of tickets that are not reserved - for the walk up crowd?.....
Yup. When we were there one Sept, the line for those with res was about 20 min, for those without 2:30 hr.
