Are advance reservations for museum tickets in italy worth the cost?

Question

i'm going to italy in late sept and am wondering if it's worth the extra $$ to use a service to reserve tickets at museums (ie., the Uffizi in Florence, the Galleria Borghese in Rome). just how bad are the waiting lines at that time of year?

Answer 1

It's definitely worth to book in advance to visit Uffizi in Florence (the queue is really really long), the same for the Ultima Cena (alias Il Cenacolo) by Leonardo da Vinci. I can't help you about the Galleria Borghese because I don't know it. Have a nice stay in Italy

Answer 2

if you dont get your tickets for the Uffizi ahead of time you will not get in and it doesnt matter when you go. There is always a line of people trying to get in there everytime I have gone there and most stand in line all day and still do not get in. Because they only allow so many in at a time and in one day. I dont know about the Borghese i've never been there. I use www.selectitaly.com to get my tickets for the uffizi.

Answer 3

Yes, you probably won't get in the Uffizi at all without them...may not need them for Borghese -- Everyone going to Florence is trying to go to the Uffizi -- in Rome there are hundreds of other places to go.
