OVERVIEW

What you'll see.

Skip the lines and dive straight into the rich history of Florence with priority access to Palazzo Vecchio, the city's iconic symbol of power and art.

Florence's fortress of power, without the wait

Skip the lines and dive straight into the rich history of Palazzo Vecchio, Florence's town hall since the year 1299 and the city's enduring symbol of power and art. Choose the ticket that fits your visit, the museum, the tower, or both together, and walk past the queue with priority entrance either way.

The museum: halls of the Republic and the Medici

Inside, the richly decorated halls tell the story of Renaissance Florence's golden age. The magnificent Salone dei Cinquecento, built for the Republic's Grand Council and transformed under the Medici, dazzles with monumental frescoes and intricate sculptures, while the Courtyard of Michelozzo, the Medici family's private chambers and the map-covered Hall of Maps trace the palace's evolution from medieval fortress to Renaissance showpiece.

The tower: Florence at your feet

With a tower ticket, climb the iconic Torre di Arnolfo for unparalleled panoramic views, the terracotta rooftops, Brunelleschi's dome, and the rolling Tuscan hills beyond. It's one of the finest vantage points in the city, and the climb itself threads through seven centuries of stone.

Good to know

Your skip-the-line ticket includes priority entrance for the option you choose (museum, tower, or combined); a guided tour isn't included, so you explore at your own pace. The tower climb isn't suitable for those with mobility issues or a fear of heights, and it may close in bad weather. Early mornings and late afternoons are the quietest times to visit, and non-flash photography is allowed in most areas. Families are welcome, though little legs may find the tower a challenge. History, art and the best view over Piazza della Signoria: pick your combination and walk straight in. It sits right on Piazza della Signoria, making it the easiest great museum in Florence to fit into any itinerary.
