Florence - Accademia and the Uffici:
It is best to reserve your visit to these two key places in
advance, and it is possible to do this from your home country.
They are very busy but they speak English. Contact them a few
days before coming to Italy and suggest a date and they will
allocate you the best they can do - so prepare to be a little
flexible and fit your day around what they offer.
