First Sunday of the month = free state museums. Showed up at the Uffizi Gallery at 9 AM. Waited two hours . Said, “Worth it for Botticelli, but never again without a reservation.”
Arrived at 4:30 PM (one hour before closing). No line. The afternoon sun hit the mosaics like liquid fire. Oles noted: “Better than any VIP tour I skipped.” oles2143 experience italy
Showed up at the Colosseum before the ticket office opened (8:15 AM). Walked right into the Palatine Hill entrance first, then descended into the Colosseum at 9:30 AM when the group tours were still lining up outside. First Sunday of the month = free state museums
