Greetings! My family of four will be visiting Florence over Easter in 2017. We plan to experience Scoppio del Carro and then we are not sure what will be open to visit afterwards. We wanted to spend the afternoon at a museum at Pitti Palace and stroll Boboli Gardens. Is this reasonable? Would restaurants in the area be open or are the owners spending the day with their families? Do you have advice for viewing Scoppio del Carro?
On another note, we leave the next morning from SMN by train straight to FCO for our departure flight at 13:50. Can you advise on the wisdom of this plan? I could change our plans and move us down to a hotel in Rome for the night, but if this train journey is do-able, I'd rather stay in Florence.
Finally, I understand that children under 18 are free in certain museums. My daughter, 14, is 5'10" and looks very much like an adult. Can we expect grief from each museum we enter? Should we always be prepared with her passport or should we go ahead and buy tickets/FP to eliminate a hassle? If the other three of us have the Firenze Pass and can skip the lines, will my daughter be able to also?
Many thanks for your help!
