What To Expect

Make your way to the Medici Chapels, located on Piazza di Madonna degli Aldobrandini in Florence. Present your skip-the-line ticket to bypass the long lines and proceed directly inside.

The opulent chapel can be explored at your leisure. During your time there, learn that the Medici family (along with several church leaders) commissioned Michelangelo to build the chapel as a pendant to Filippo Brunelleschi's Sagrestia Vecchia. The Sagresti Nuova was to be a mausoleum and a private church for the Medici family, staunch supporters of the church.

Construction began in 1520 and was completed by Giorgio Vasari in 1546. Of the planned 4 tombs, only 2 were built. These two hold the bodies of Giuliano Lorenzo de'Medici and Lorenzo di Piero de'Medici and are decorated with Michelangelo's allegorical sculptures Night, Day, Dawn, and Dusk.

Essential time saver

Erin_G, Apr 2024

Such a great time saver to do this one! Day was rainy so being able to use the VIP line was fantastic. Only thing to improve would be to find a way to tell those in line where to meet to avoid confusion at the Chapel.

Horrible service

Almina_C, Mar 2024

Trying to get the voucher was a mess. Instruction's were they would be sent 48 hours in advance. They did not. Got an email that just kept linking me back and forth between Viator site and the email link. Had to send five emails trying to get my voucher. Finally the sent it as a pdf to an email. This is not a good service and you do not need to do this just order your voucher directly yourself

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Good evening, the voucher was sent three times, the first by VIATOR two days before the visit, the second also by VIATOR in the morning at 8:00 am on the day of the visit, and the third directly by us in response to your emails. In all cases, the voucher is a PDF file. We do not know why you could not read PDF files.

A+ experience

Erica_C, Sep 2023

One of the most beautiful chapels in Florence. The building is so intricately interesting. Easy to navigate and not crowded.

A Family Honored

Margarette_R, Sep 2023

I have read alot of this family and the impact they made on Florence and the renaissance. It was incredible to see where they lie to rest and the unbelievable chapel on the top floor - it is one of the most amazing tributes and art I have ever seen.

The Ticket Arrived Just Before…

DavisK_B, Jul 2023

Viator did not confirm with me until right before. Because I was only visiting Florence for one day, I was concerned that it might not go through at all and bought a second ticket directly through the Florence Museum system. That ticket was the one I used. The Medici Chapel is stunning beyond belief and not to miss!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

hello, your tickets are available on your VIATOR app, as indicated on the site where you made your booking. You have therefore received the expected service, we are sorry it was not clear to you. there was no need to purchase any other tickets

The medici’s rule(d)!

judith_g, Jul 2023

No line! Easy to get the tix as there were email or text options. And the chapel is totally beautiful.

It was a beautiful...

Angela_D, Jul 2023

It was a beautiful building with great sculptures. We did a self guided audio tour that was not worth the money. I recommend that you try to book an actual guided tour to get a better understanding of the history and art.

A beautiful chapel

Denise_J, Jun 2023

The chapel is both beautiful and humbling. Seeing the tombs and burial markers of this great family of Florence, there presence is everywhere still to this day.

Well worth it

Umar_I, Jun 2023

Smooth, affordable & straightforward - we received our tickets a few days before the trip & on the day everything went without a hitch. The chapel inside is stunning & beautifully designed, definitely well worth seeing, made with tiles of dark green, terracotta red, pearly white & various other colours. Giant statues are to be found as well, including in the tomb area, where sculptures including Michelangelo pieces are to be seen. There's also an exhibition with beautiful gifts & items commissioned by the family that once resided in the chapel.

SKip the line

Kelly_G, May 2023

Skip the line is the way to go. Got right in without incident. Small chapel, but great things to see.

Unhappy

Peter_T, May 2023

Our tickets were not available and we paid an additional 18 euro to see the chapel, felt cheated somehow.

Response from Host, May 2023

hello, as already told you by phone, your vouchers were on VIATOR dashboard to be downloaded before going to the museum.

I thought we were to have...

Jane_C, Apr 2023

I thought we were to have tour guide but it was OK without one. Need to go back and better read the description.

Very disappointed

Patricia_T, Oct 2022

We were sold tickets for the Medici Chapel which apparently has been closed in recent weeks. A local guide checked with the ticket office for us and confirmed that the adjacent church was open but not the chapel.

More info would have helped.

Scott_M, Sep 2022

We really enjoyed the Medici Chapels! The only thing that would have made it better is if we had a digital ticket from the start…and not have to wait for an emailed ticket. More information would have been helpful on where to stand and the process for entrance.

It was a bust!

Mark_S, Jul 2022

We got the confirmation which said there would be an email to follow. Got the email but our service was down and we could not download the ticket there was no information regarding a meeting spot went to the Medici chapel too crowded was not able to locate the tour guide. It was a bust.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Hello please notice you bought ticket to access the chapel, NOT a GUIDED TOUR, so none was waiting for you. Instructions on ticket redemptions are printed on the voucher itself.

You need to add a human...

Asha_P, Jun 2022

You need to add a human guide to this to make it worthwhile Without it the site is hard to comprehend along with its historical significance

Easy entry. Nice tour. ...

Anne_C, Jun 2022

Easy entry. Nice tour. Fascinating to see all things Medici. Wonderful afternoon. Easy to find. Signs good for entry.

Skip the line a must!

Crystal_R, Mar 2022

You should purchase this tour just for the skip the line benefit! The art collection is eclectic and abundant and it is easy to see how much the Medicis loved art and its cebation of mankind's achievements!

The Medici Chapel are...

Mireille_D, Nov 2021

The Medici Chapel are really wonderful but we had to wait before entering in spite of a skip the line ticket . Besides the price paid is more than twice what you pay directly at the entrance of the museum.

At this time of year, you really didn't...

Anita F, Sep 2018

At this time of year, you really didn't need the skip the line tickets. Still an interesting stop.
