Does anyone have experiance using on line ticket services like tickitaly.com for Uffizi, Academia, etc.

You can book tickets online through the official museum website. 6.50€ + a 4€ reservation fee for each museum.

Also, your hotel will book the reservations for you.

Uffizi and Academia Museum Reservations
The easiest and cheapest way is to call Florence 1010987 (dial around number), 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. There is a long listing of press 1 for this and 2 for that--press 4 for bookings. 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.

The easiest and cheapest way to book tix is usually through the museum site itself.

Ira's information is a bit out-of-date from a time when booking online wasn't available. The link I gave above has both options, online booking or phone booking directly with the museums. The reservation fee is 4€ and has been for over a year.

Hi ky,

I have updated the price.

Is it still true that you don't pay for the reservation unless you use it?
