Uffizi or Accademia in Florence

[RonPaula]

I posted in the Europe thread as well. Which is more wheelchair friendly? Also, would like the convenience of a cafeteria.

thank you

The Academiia is probably more wheelchair friendly in itself, but largely because it is smaller. Getting to the Ufizzi was much eaiser. We took the ship’s bus to Florence and, as a group, walked about 1/2 mile into the city center. The Ufizzi was right there. We guessed (right) on a very accessible city minibus, on a one-way street, and had enough Italian in us to validate with the driver that the bus did go to David and he’d tell us when to get off.

 

We rolled back to City Center after our visit. And yes, we visited both. I had set up an executive tour at the Ufizzi so had a guide who helped us through (in English). We’d done our homework and had lined up tickets for both locations in advance- no waiting on any lines We even had rime for a quick lunch in the Ufizzi’s upstairs cafe.
