Florence is approx. 35 km far away from Agriturismo I Pitti.
It can be easily reached by car, but we suggest to take the train from the station of Serravalle - 2 km far away from the Agriturismo I Pitti. There is a train every hour, and the train station in Florence is downtown. No parking problems and no stress driving in the trafic.
Lots of famous museums of Florence as the Uffizi Gallery, the Accademia Museum, the Pitti Palace etc. are worth a visit. The town itself offers an incredible variety of choice. The entrance at the museus is not always easy, lots of times there are very long queues, and sometimes one cannot enter at all. Therefore we suggest you to make an advance ticket with entrance reservation online through following official web site:

At the Agriturismo I Pitti you can find some suggestions also for children.
What is the Week of Culture? It is a very important event involving all
the State Museums with specials and free tickets access. Here in Florence you can visit: the Uffizi Gallery, Academy Museum, Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens, Bargello Museum, Medici Chapels, and many other attractions. All of them free of charge!
Is is possible to get tickets in advance? Yes of course! You can use the online
booking service available on the Official state museums website
If you intend to pre-book your tickets to avoid the long lines, then you will pay just for the pre-booking service, which is a great advantage.
What are you waiting for? Florence is so sweet in April and you will have a
very good time here. Walking in the city of the Renaissance will be the most
exciting experience ever, admiring the David, watch the city lights from the Ponte Vecchio…
You can also think about the possibility to take a daily trip to Pisa or Siena and visit their museums, since this event is valid for all the State Museums in Italy.
Week of Culture, April 14-22, 2012. Valid for all State Museums in
Florence.
