Plan ahead for the best experience. Here's what to book before your trip:
These are two of the most visited museums in Italy, and advance reservation is required for timed entry to avoid extremely long lines or selling out, especially during peak tourist season.
The Dome climb has strictly limited capacity and time slots that sell out days or weeks in advance, making it the most critical part of the Duomo complex to reserve.
This historic horse race occurs only twice a year (July and August) and secured viewing spots (grandstands, balconies) are extremely limited, highly sought after, and expensive, selling out far in advance.
Intimate, high-quality experiences (especially home-based cooking classes or vineyard tours) have limited capacity and are popular, selling out during peak travel months.
The best farm stays (agriturismi) and villas, especially those with pools or renowned restaurants, have limited rooms and are booked far in advance for the summer and shoulder seasons.
