LET ME TELL YOU A FLORENTINE SECRET


BARRIER-FREE BARGAINS IN FLORENCE

Here's a secret for disabled travelers in Florence.

Well, maybe it's not a secret, but it sure took us a long time to find out about this great deal.

The secret?  Just about every major museum allows disabled visitors and one guest to enter free.

Not only does this save you hundreds of euros over the course of a two-week visit, it also helps you cut the line.

Remember, in the busy summer, lines to get into the Uffizi can wrap around the gallery.

If you don't have a reservation, you might wait for three to four ours to get in.

But staff members have eagle eyes when it comes to wheelchair-using guests.  

Not only do they point you to ramps and accessible entrances, but they also bring you a pair of complimentary tickets in no time.

It's the greatest deal going. 

We used it at the Uffizi, Duomo, Acadamia, Duomo, Basilica Santa Croce, Pitti Palace and several smaller museums and historic churches.
