Florence City Pass
One pass. Unlimited city.
Florence has two city pass options worth considering: the Firenze Card (€85, 72 hours, 72+ museums) and the Turbopass Florence City Pass (dynamic pricing, multiple durations). Both claim to simplify your trip, but they cover different things and suit different itineraries. This page explains what each includes, where transport stands, and how to work out which – if either – makes sense for your trip.
Everything in the pass
What's included
Firenze Card
Florence's official cultural pass at €85 for 72 hours. Covers 72 museums including the Uffizi, Galleria dell'Accademia, Palazzo Pitti, Boboli Gardens, Bargello, and Medici Chapels. Children under 18 enter free when accompanying a cardholder.
Turbopass Florence City Pass
A third-party packaged pass sold directly through Turbopass, available in durations from one to seven days. Notably includes both the major art museums (Uffizi, Accademia) and the Brunelleschi Pass (Duomo complex) — pre-booked time slots are arranged for you. Also includes a guided walking tour and two-hour bike rental.
No public transport in either pass
Neither the Firenze Card nor the Turbopass includes public transport. Buy Autolinee Toscane bus and tram tickets separately — €1.70 per journey, valid 90 minutes. Florence's historic centre is compact enough that most visitors won't need buses at all.
Brunelleschi's Dome — only in Turbopass
The Turbopass includes the Brunelleschi Pass (dome climb, bell tower, baptistery, Opera del Duomo Museum). The Firenze Card does not cover any part of the Duomo complex. If climbing the dome is on your list and you're buying the Firenze Card, you'll need to purchase the €30 Brunelleschi Pass separately.
What's not included
The Firenze Card excludes the Duomo complex, the Gucci Gallery, and the Laurentian Medici Library. The Turbopass excludes public transport and most dining. Neither pass gives access to everything in Florence — the Brunelleschi Pass alone guarantees dome climb access regardless of which pass you hold.
Where to buy
The Firenze Card is sold (digital or physical). The Turbopass is available — pricing is dynamic and must be checked live during the booking flow. The Brunelleschi Pass is sold at duomo. or at Piazza San Giovanni 7.

Common questions
FAQs
Is a city pass worth it for Florence?
It depends on how many museums you plan to visit. The Firenze Card at €85 reaches break-even at around four to five major venues — Uffizi (€25), Palazzo Pitti (€19), Accademia, and the Bargello together exceed the card price before booking fees. For a two-day trip to two or three sites, individual tickets will likely cost less. The Turbopass adds convenience value by pre-booking your time slots, which is genuinely useful in peak season when same-day Uffizi tickets sell out by 10am. Neither pass includes public transport.
Does the Florence city pass include the Duomo and dome climb?
The Firenze Card does not include any part of the Duomo complex — not the dome climb, bell tower, baptistery, or Opera del Duomo Museum. You must buy the Brunelleschi Pass (€30) separately if you want to climb the dome. The Turbopass does include the Brunelleschi Pass as part of its package. Whichever pass you hold, dome climb time slots must be reserved in advance — they sell out weeks ahead in peak season, and photo ID is required at entry.
Which Florence pass is best for a short two-day visit?
For two days, the Firenze Card is only worth buying if you'll genuinely visit four or more museums. Most two-day visitors do better with the Brunelleschi Pass (€30) plus individual tickets for the Uffizi (€25) and Accademia — totalling around €65–70 and covering the three flagship experiences. If you want everything arranged in advance with pre-booked time slots, the Turbopass is the most convenient option but check the live price on Turbopass's site, as it isn't published statically.
