Generally it is best to remember that most museums are
open in the mornings only, from 09.00 to 14.00 (09.00-13.00
on Sundays) and are closed on Mondays and public holidays.
The exceptions are the Uffizi and the Accademia, which are
open until 19.00, Tues-Sat, and 09.00-13.00 Sundays (Mondays
and public holidays closed).
Local municipal (comunali) museums may offer cheap student
entry fees, and free entrance on certain Sundays. Entrance to
The Uffizi costs ¤6.50 (¤3.25 for EU citizens over 18 and under
25); other museums, e.g. the Museo Nazionale del Bargello
may cost a little less (¤4). Entrance fees are increased
(to approx. ¤10) for special exhibitions.

To avoid queuing at the Uffizi, a telephone booking system
operates (for which you pay ¤4): 055.294 883
During the high (tourist) season, it may not always be possible
to book on the day(s) that suit(s) you, so the sooner you know
the date(s) for your visit, the better.

N.B. Thanks to the implementation of an article in the EUI’s Con-
vention, EUI researchers, Fellows and professors have free access to
all state museums in Tuscany by showing their EUI identity card. If
for some reason this does not work, please contact the 4B coordina-
tor (beatrijs.dehartogh@eui.eu), who will send you a PDF copy of
the appropriate letter and a list of the museums concerned.
