Q: How much does it cost to visit the Medici Chapels in 2025?

A standard ticket for the Medici Chapels costs €9, while young people aged 18–25 pay €2.

Several tours also visit nearby sights associated with the family, including the Medici Riccardi Palace (Palazzo Medici Riccardi) and Palazzo Vecchio.

Medici Chapels Fast Track Ticket With Audioguide

Tucked inside the Basilica of San Lorenzo, the Medici Chapels are one of Florence's most opulent mausoleums and a Renaissance must-see. The complex holds three extraordinary Michelangelo sculptures and the tombs of 49 Medici family members. Skip the line and step into this remarkable landmark. Dating from the 1500s–1600s, the two chapels were shaped by Michelangelo's genius for the Medici, Renaissance patrons and later Grand Dukes of Tuscany, drawing art lovers worldwide. Inside, a statue honors Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici, the family's last descendant, who left the Medici art collection to Florence on one condition: that it stay open to the public forever. Highlights include the Sagrestia Nuova, Michelangelo's first architectural work, hinting at ideas he would later bring to St. Peter's Basilica. The tombs feature three sculptural groups: Dawn and Dusk, Night and Day, and the unfinished Madonna and Child. Your ticket also includes a digital audio guide to explore all of Florence.

It’s Beautiful. Don’t Miss it!

We had a tour booked in the afternoon. When we arrived at the site, it was closed due to the train strike. I reached out to the tour operator and but no one answered (probably couldn’t get to work due to the strike). Fortunately, we went back the next morning and they honored the tickets. It is a magnificent site.

Magnificent Chapel

The upper level chapel is magnificent and our guide Irina provided an amazing background on the Medici family - she used an iPad to show photos of the family and brought the family and their drama to life. A very special section that Michelangelo worked on and the info Irina provided allowed us to really view the room as Michelangelo wanted us to! A very historical based tour that we really liked.
