Telephone number for avoiding museum lines
 
Can someone provide the telephone number(s) to whatever service provides tickets to the Uffizi, Accademia and the Vatican so we can make an advance reservation and avoid the lines. Thank you.

Hi trees,

For the Uffizi and Academia, you call 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.

The Vatican is in another country and has it's own phone number.

There are no advance reservations for the Vatican Museum...unless you sign up with a company that gives tours.

I know I am not answering your question providing numbers, etc., but I can just tell you that I was in Florence this past weekend and got up and out of the hotel a little early and was at the Accademia by 8:00 A.M. I was able to view The David almost by myself. No lines, no advanced reservations. Wonderful.
