Basilica of Santa Croce

Walk through 90+ rooms of the Uffizi at your own pace, from Cimabue's earliest panel paintings through to Botticelli, Leonardo, and Caravaggio, the collection follows the full arc of the Renaissance in sequence.

Cross the 500 metres to Santa Croce and skip the ticket counter entirely. The full complex is yours: basilica, chapels, cloisters, crypt, and museum, with nothing extra to pay at any point inside.

In the Bardi and Peruzzi Chapels, Giotto painted the figures of St Francis and St John with a naturalism that had not existed in Western art before. These frescoes are the starting point of everything the Uffizi later brought to its peak.

The tombs of Michelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli are set into the nave walls. Each monument was designed in a different century — Galileo's was not erected until 95 years after his death.

Two sites most visitors split across separate days. This ticket is the reason to do both in one.

Hop on and off across 2 routes and 25+ stops in Florence for 24 hours, with an 8-language audio guide included on every bus.

The Blue Line covers Florence's historic centre: Santa Croce, Piazzale Michelangelo, and the artisan streets near Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral.

The Red Line reaches hill towns like Fiesole, the Museo del Calcio, and quieter residential neighbourhoods along the riverbank — a different side of the city from the same ticket.

Skip the ticket counter at Basilica di Santa Croce and walk straight in. One ticket covers the basilica, all chapels, the cloisters, the crypt, and the Opera Museum — including the tombs of Michelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli.

The bus stops directly at Santa Croce. No separate transport to arrange, no second ticket to buy at the door.

Tip: If you visit Calcio Museum at stop #6 on Line B, you could learn all about the history of Italy's national football team!
