Florence may be the last city in Europe to introduce one, but it finally has a a single card—called the Firenze Card (www.firenzecard.it)—that costs €50, is valid 72 hours, and it good for free entry to many major museums, villas, and historical gardens.

Amazingly, this includes all the biggies: the Uffizi, the Accademia (where they keep Michelanglo's David), the Pitti Palace, the Bargello, the Palazzo Vecchio, and the Medici Chapels.

In fact, separate admissions to just those museums listed above would total €42.50. Add in a few other major sights like San Marco (€4), the Brancacci Chapel (€4), and Santa Maria Novella (€2.70) and the card will have already more than paid for itself.

The Firenze Card has other benefits. You don't need to make reservations to visit any site, and you can skip the long ticketing lines—just flash it at the entrance of any participating sight (see the box on the right for a list).

It also gets you free travel on all ATAF buses and trams.

You can buy the Firenze Card online at www.firenzecard.it, or in person at several museums...

...or at several information offices:

The Civic Museums

Also the tourist office about the (some years available, lately not so much) single ticket covering all Civic Museums (Musei Civici)—www.museicivicifiorentini.it.

For example, at the moment you can, weirdly, get an €8 combo ticket good for admission to both the Palazzo Vecchio's monumental quarters (normally €6) and the famous Brancacci Chapel at Santa Maria della Carmine (normally €4)—both worthy sights, though the only thing they have in common is that both happen to be run by the city's Civic Museums office.

The ticket for Santa Croce also gets you into the nearby (and far less compelling) Casa Buonarotti, home to Michelangelo's very earliest sculptures (basically stuff he did as a student—which is interesting in of itself).
