Even if you have a reservation and you pay extra for that, you wait in a line.

Yours is the perennial question. Try: http://www.florenceart.it/booking/<BR><BR>Don't bother reserving now. Reserve the day before you want to go to the Uffizi. You'll be fine.<BR>

I used www.weekendinflorence.com for tickets to the Accademia and the Uffizzi and was very glad...more time to do other things. <BR><BR>We also sent early in the morning. By the time we left the museums, the lines were quite long and that was in March.<BR><BR>Get tickets and go early. Have fun.

I agree with Eye Spy. Get them when you get to Florence.

When we visited Florence in July we were very glad that we had purchased tickets in advance, on the web, to Uffizi as well as the Accademia. We just zipped at around 9 a.m., passing a growing line of people who had to wait for the reserve ticket holders to enter first. Entry to the Uffizi is staggered based on the number of vistors in the museum at the time, so the line continues to build. When we left the line was very long, and did not seem to be moving. Our foresight, learned on this site, gave us the extra time to visit the Medici Palace and Bobli Gardens, which we enjoyed more than the Uffizzi, as we did appreciate the ancient religious art, as much as the magnificent palace and gardens.
