- Skip-the-line tickets to Palazzo Vecchio grant you immediate entry at your booked time, without waiting in line at the ticket office. There are mandatory security checks.

- Free entry to Florence Cathedral is only for the main part of the church, excluding the dome, baptistry, museum and bell tower. Interior tours during masses and scheduled events are limited.
