Florence for first-timers

The transfer of the tickets and the audioguide onto my phone worked really well and the information via mail a couple of days before was very good. We really enjoyed our stay in the Ufficii very much. All that art in one place was absolutely overwhelming.

I really liked that the routes opened up our horizon to different places we never even thought of visiting. It was accessible and employees were very nice and history was very interesting, but sometimes it started too early before we got to see the view it was talking about. Also had issues with the app where it shows when the buss will arrive at the specific station but it never matched nor it gave accurate time as to when it will come. Once it did not come at all and the app did not have that information. Overall good experience

Both sites are a MUST in Florence. Purchasing a combo makes it easy and a bit more cost effective. David is even more impressive in person than any photos you have seen. I went crazy for all the marble with stone accents at the Ufizzi; it also has many famous paintings. And you can take all the time you want to inspect each one. I would return for several more hours.

This 3-day ticket to explore all the monuments in the Piazza del Duomo is really great. Depending on the heat and the queues, you may not be able to go up to the Bell tower and the capulla della cathedral next, as there are a lot of stairs and it's very hot in the passageways. So take your time and go several times.
