The whole process is pretty simple. Here’s a quick sum up:
Purchase: FirenzeCard can be booked online on the official website before your arrival. You can also buy it on-site, at authorized retailers.
Format: When purchasing the pass online, you’ll have to download the app and you’ll immediately get the digital card and the purchase code. If you want the physical paper card, you can show the purchase code at the retailers and they should provide you the card.
Activation: The pass becomes active when you first use it. Remember that each attraction can be only visited once.
Validity: 72 hours starting from the activation.
Kids and Teens: Under 18 y/o do not need the FirenzeCard. They authomatically take advantage of the parents’ cards. If you are interested in visiting Florence with kids do not miss our 5 must do.

Guided tours: Remember that card does not include guides.
