| Uffizi Gallery | Included (1 entry, mandatory free reservation) | Included (City Pass, pre-booked for you) / voucher pickup required (Flex Pass) | Included — must be visited first | Not included | €25 same-day / €29 advance (€2 reduced, free under-18) |

| Palazzo Pitti & Boboli Gardens | Included (1 entry each) | Not included | Included — visit after the Uffizi, no restrictions | Not included | €16 (Pitti) + €10 (Boboli), or €22 combined same-day |
| Duomo Complex (Dome, Bell Tower, Baptistery, Museum, Santa Reparata) | Not included — confirmed directly, the Duomo's own official FAQ says Firenze Card access is not included | Not included | Not included | Included — the only way to access the Dome climb; Giotto Pass (€20, no Dome) and Ghiberti Pass (€15, no Dome or Bell Tower) are cheaper alternatives | Not sold individually — only via Brunelleschi/Giotto/Ghiberti Pass. Cathedral nave itself is always free. |
| Bargello & Medici Chapels | Included (1 entry each) | Not included | Not included | Not included | €12 (Bargello) + €11 + €3 reservation fee (Medici Chapels) |
| Public Transport | Not included by default — a paid add-on, 'Firenzecard+' (+€7), adds unlimited ATAF bus/tram for the 72-hour validity | Not included | Not included | Not included | ATAF single ticket ~€2.00 (90 minutes) |
| Reservation Fees | None — mandatory museum reservations are free for cardholders | None stated | None stated | None — the Dome's mandatory time slot is included in the pass price | Varies — e.g. €4 at the Accademia, €3 at the Medici Chapels; the Uffizi currently has no separate itemized fee |
| Format | Digital app or physical card | 100% Digital (QR code) | Digital or physical | Named, non-transferable digital/printed ticket | Varies by provider |
| 💡 Best For | Best for a packed 3-day, museum-heavy visit hitting many of its 60+ circuit sights — but it does not cover the Duomo complex or public transport by default, and Accademia reservations must be made by phone. | Best for travelers who specifically want the Uffizi and Accademia pre-booked for them alongside a broader attraction list — but it doesn't include Palazzo Pitti, Boboli, or the Duomo complex either. | Best value specifically for the Uffizi + Palazzo Pitti + Boboli Gardens combination over up to 5-6 days — it does nothing for the Accademia or the Duomo. | The only way to climb Brunelleschi's Dome — if you don't need the Dome specifically, the cheaper Giotto Pass (€20) or Ghiberti Pass (€15) cover the rest of the Duomo complex. | Often cheaper for a short visit focused on just the Uffizi and Accademia, or just the Duomo complex — run the math for your specific plans, and remember reservation fees add to the total. |

Breakdown by Main Attractions
01. The Uffizi and Accademia have genuinely different fee structures
The Uffizi's current site shows two flat prices (€25 same-day, €29 advance) with no separately itemized reservation fee. The Accademia instead shows a €20 admission price PLUS an explicit €4.00 reservation fee as its own line item — the same €24 total either way you book, but a structurally different presentation. Never assume one museum's fee model applies to the other.
02. Firenze Card does not include the Duomo complex — confirmed directly
The Duomo's own official ticketing FAQ states plainly: 'I have a Firenzecard: is the access to the monuments included? No.' If your Florence plans include climbing the Dome or Bell Tower, you need a separate Brunelleschi, Giotto, or Ghiberti Pass regardless of whether you buy a Firenze Card.
03. Palazzo Pitti does not automatically include Boboli Gardens
They are separately ticketed (€16 and €10 respectively) unless you buy the explicit combined ticket (€22 same-day), which is valid for one day only. The 5-day Uffizi Passepartout (€40) includes both, but only after a mandatory first visit to the Uffizi.
04. The Duomo complex has no single-monument tickets — you must choose a Pass
Brunelleschi's Dome, Giotto's Bell Tower, the Baptistery, the Opera del Duomo Museum, and Santa Reparata are never sold as standalone individual tickets. You choose between three passes: Brunelleschi (€30, includes the Dome), Giotto (€20, everything except the Dome), or Ghiberti (€15, no climbs at all). The Cathedral nave itself is always free and needs no ticket.
Which Option Fits Your Florence Trip?
First-Time, Museum-Heavy Visit
Seeing many sights across 3 days — Uffizi, Accademia, Pitti, Boboli, Bargello, Medici Chapels — genuinely benefits from the Firenze Card at €85, as long as you don't need the Duomo complex too.
Art Focus: Uffizi + Pitti + Boboli
The Uffizi Passepartout (€40, 5-day validity) covers exactly this combination for less than separate tickets would cost (€25 + €16 + €10 = €51), as long as you can visit the Uffizi first.
Duomo Complex Focus
Want to climb the Dome? You need the Brunelleschi Pass (€30) — there's no cheaper way to do it. Skipping the Dome but still want the Bell Tower, Baptistery, Museum, and Santa Reparata? The Giotto Pass (€20) covers all of those for less.
Short Visit, 1-2 Sights
Only want the Uffizi and Accademia? Buying them individually (€25 + €24 with fees = €49) can beat a full-day pass once you factor in what you won't use.
