Palazzo Pitti + Boboli Gardens Ticket

Combined ticket includes Palatine Gallery, Royal Apartments, Gallery of Modern Art, Treasury of the Grand Dukes, and Boboli Gardens. Valid for 2 consecutive days. Costs approximately €16-20 depending on season and temporary exhibitions. Bardini Gardens can be added for small surcharge. Allow minimum 4 hours to see main highlights. Gardens close earlier than palace museums. Best to start early with palace, then gardens. Purchase tickets online or on-site but summer crowds may cause delays.

Guided Tour Packages

Many companies offer multi-day tour packages combining major museums with skip-the-line access, expert guides, and sometimes extras like wine tastings or cooking classes. Prices range €200-500+ depending on duration and inclusions. Options include 'Best of Florence' packages covering Uffizi, Accademia, and walking tours over 2-3 days. Small group tours (max 15 people) provide better experiences than large bus tours. Reputable providers include Context Travel, Walks of Italy, and Florence Town. Read reviews carefully and verify skip-the-line benefits are genuine.
