Firenzecard includes in its price the entrance ticket, the extra fee for exhibitions and booking of all circuit museums. For Galleria degli Uffizi, Galleria dell'Accademia the reservation is required.

The Firenzecard includes entrance to the museums of the circuit, without need for a reservation, with some exceptions. You will find all the information in the Access Notes field, within the sheet of each museums that can be consulted in the appropriate section.
For the Uffizi Galleries, Accademia Gallery and Brancacci Chapel/Salvatore Romano Foundation the reservation is required for the cardholder and even for minors belonging to the family unit.The reservation is for free with Firenzecard.

A Firenzecard holder may associate family members under age 18 to the card, so Firenzecard is free to children with the purchase of one (adult) card. Minors must be associated to the card in one of the following ways:

• Firenzecard digital format: enter the number of minors when you create your card in the Firenzecard App before confirming your data; 
• Firenzecard physical format: when you collect your card at one of the collection points in Florence, inform Firenzecard staff to add your children to your card.

If the minors do not belong to the same family, if they do not wish to purchase a Firenzecard, they can pick up the ticket free of charge to visit civic and state museums (e.g. Palazzo Vecchio, Cappella Brancacci, The Uffizi Gallery, Gallery of Accademia, etc.) and purchase the ticket for the museums which admission is not free of charge. For state museums such as the Uffizi Gallery and Gallery of Accademia, we suggest purchasing the reservation (4€ each, that can be purchased directly at the entrances reserved to Firenzecard), in order to enter from the reserved entrances all together.
