Thank you Ann!
BTW, do you have recommendations on where to book tickets for the museums in Florence?

Just found ira's post for a day in Florence with museum reservation details. Thanks!

hi ciny,

you can book the Florence museums on line at:

http://www.firenzemusei.it/

there are others listed but this is the official one. It does mean that you have to pay in advance, unlike the phone bookings, but at least you're not paying over the odds, like you wil with the "ticket agencies".

if you decide not to book, [not really recommended for the uffizi which heaves all day] you probably stand the best chance of getting into the accademia if you go about 1 hour or so before it closes.

have a great trip,

regards, ann

oh, thanks a lot Ann! I will do the booking.
