Galleria dell'Accademia: €20, €5 less than the Uffizi

A full ticket to the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence costs €20, and booking adds €4, so a reserved entry is €24 (2026).

€20 at the door, €24 with a booking

The full ticket is €20 and the reservation fee is €4 on top, under tariffs in force since February 1, 2026. Ages 18 to 25 pay €2.

The €4 buys a timed slot, not a discount for planning ahead. In a quiet month it's optional. In a month when Florence is full, it's what separates a set entry time from the line of people who didn't book.

Two combined tickets: €26 and €38

A 48-hour ticket shared with the Bargello costs €26, and a 72-hour ticket for the six museums of the Accademia-Bargello system costs €38 (2026).

The Bargello pairing adds €6 to the Accademia's own price for a second museum. The 72-hour version is for a three-day stay built around those six museums, not for a single morning.

2,189,103 visitors in 2024, fifth in Italy

The Accademia recorded 2,189,103² visitors in 2024, fifth among Italian state cultural sites, with €27,122,131² in gross takings.

The Colosseum led that table with 14,733,395⁵ visitors. The Uffizi came second with 5,294,968⁴, which means the Accademia takes fewer than half the Uffizi's crowd.

Accademia or Uffizi, with one day

The Uffizi costs €25 on the day and €29 booked (2026), €5 more than the Accademia at each step.

Both run the same pricing logic, a €4 fee for the privilege of a slot. Neither rewards you for booking early.

With one day and both on the list, price is not the deciding factor, time is. Do the Accademia in the morning and the Uffizi from 4 pm, when its afternoon ticket drops to €16. The full side-by-side is at Uffizi vs Accademia.

First Sunday: free, and the busiest day

Entry to state museums, the Accademia among them, is free on the first Sunday of every month (2026), with a few extra free days in the year.

A free day at a gallery that takes 2.2 million people a year is not a quiet day. If the first Sunday is your only option, go at opening. The national scheme is explained at free museum days.

Hours and collection: not listed here

The Accademia's opening hours and weekly closing day are not listed here, because no source we could verify carried them in 2026.

The same goes for the collection. The facts behind this page cover price and attendance only, and a room-by-room description copied from a reseller would be worse than none. Check the museum's own site before you set the day. More on the city at Florence.
