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:
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.
Your Firenzecard includes entry to the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery, as well as the reservation fee and any special exhibitions at no additional cost. For Firenzecard holders there are dedicated time slots, but you must reserve your entry time and the reservation is subject to availability. Once you have a reservation, access the museum at the “priority access” door for reserved ticket holders. Note, you must reserve for each Firenzecard holder including any minors associated with the card.
