Make sure to visit the (recently restored) paintings of the 7 virtues in Room 9, the first of which was made by Sandro Botticelli. Not his most renowned work, but stunning in terms of color & detail!
"Secret" tip: if you arrive on Saturday afternoon, you can purchase a ticket directly at the gallery- no line at all!- and visit until late in the evening. Plus you don't pay the online booking fee! K
Book in advance or get here as early as possible! Save some energy for the Bottichelli and Donatello rooms - they are among the best collections, but unfortunately crowded and near the end.
There is nothing better in Florence than Gallery Uffizi! Such and exquisite experience you don't want to miss. If you want to avoid the queues, book tickets in advance.Also less people in the morning.
Worth the wait. They have a wonderful Northern Renaissance collection, however I did not know that much of the museum was undergoing restoration. Still, it's a must see if you're in Florence!
Come as early as possible, proceed immediately to the top-most floor. You'll likely have it quite to yourself for the first hour. There's no going back later when the place gets packed.
World famous. Fantastic sculptures and paintings throughout. Byzantine to Renaissance. Very large exhibit and one should take their time if they want to get full experience.
Brilliant value for money, sooo much to see, including showstoppers Botticelli and Caravaggio! Book ahead thou, we made the mistake of thinking we wouldn’t need to in February. 2 hour queue.
I recommend to book tickets via Internet earlier, so u shouldn't stay at queue so long. Also we used audio guide, you could listen about all art objects at the museum. The best picture "Tondo Doni".
Excellent Roman sculptures and frescos on the ceilings. You’ll also see paintings from Rembrandt, Tintoretto, de Vinci and Michelangelo. The portraits of the Medici’s by Bronzino were a favorite.
They're undergoing a number of renovations to add better lighting and AC for the summer months. Can be very busy in the afternoons, but definitely worth spending a few hours here.
gorgeous architecture, statues & paintings. my personal favorite was the portrait by Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith Slaying Holofernes. go to it if you’re visiting Florence!! <3
Get there first thing in the morning and be prepared to stand in line. The museum is filled with amazing pieces and totally worth the wait, but seriously, you want to arrive right when it opens.
A must to visit in Florence! The atmosphere is amazing and really exciting. Museumstaff are really nice and always polite however, museum's cafe is a failure with its ugly chairs and decoration!
It’s definitely the best art museum I’ve ever been to. The exposition is very careful, the paintings itself are very bright and mind blowing. It’s a must.
Wellorganized rooms, we did a group tour which would have been better if it wasn't so crowded. Go very early in the day to avoid crowds. Pretty deck on 2nd floor where you can buy water!
Huge! Notwithstanding the incredible long cue to enter the museum, it worth the time. There's a really comprehensive collection of paintings so you can see the europeization of catholic icons
Probably the Italian museum par excellence. Caravaggio, Bernini, Botticelli, Dürer, Rubens: what could one ask for more? Perhaps there's too much to see all at once.
Palace housing one of the most famous artistic heritage in the world. The ticket cut-file costs 4 euros more but really convenient to choose his time visit and avoid time loss! I love this place
One of the best art collections in the world. You find all the old masters here. My favorite was a painting of Bia de Medici that was probably painted after her death. Amazing expression on her face.
Best collection of renaissanceart in the world (Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, etc). Buy your tickets in advance and download Rick Steves FREE audio tour in advance for prime experience
Just stop for what really catches your attention - the collection is huge and you won't be able to see everything in one day. My somewhat funny favorite: Liberation of Andromeda/ Piero Du Cosima.
Don't fall into the tourist bait and pay 45 (or the "discounted" 35€ to get in). Go to door 51 (across the street from the entrance)and buy the next available time slot. Reservedline is pretty fast.
The museum houses some absolute masterpieces of all times, including fourteenth century and renaissancepaintings by Giotto, Simone Martini, Piero della Francesca, Beato Angelico, Filippo Lippi, etc.. Read more
An amazing museum with a lot of beautiful art pieces. However getting tickets was a hassle, we had to stop by 3 counters to get to the right entrance with available on the day tickets
Simply amazing museum housing the Great Tuscan Medici dynasty's collection of sculptures, paintings, icons, and architecture. Situated in the heart of the best preserved Renaissancecity in the world.
Even if you book the tickets in advance you need to wait on the line around 30 min. So do not think to come without any booking 😊 Audio guide is 6 euro per perso
Excellent collection of renaissanceart in Florence. Avoid huge crowds with selfie sticks in front of famous paintings, thereis plenty to see in less busy areas as well!
The museum is cool, but guys, you have to do something with entrance organization. This was a peak of bad everything!! The queue for reserved tickets cannot last for 45 min in January!!!
This greatest collection of Italian paintings anywhere features works by Giotto, Leonardo, Raphael, Caravaggio, Titian, and Michelangelo, and a roomful of Botticellis, including the Birth of Venus.
Some great works of art but it's close to impossible to find your way once there. Get a plan before going there (we couldn't find any after the ticket desk), plot your course!
Don't wait in line for a ticket. Ring +39 055 294883 and see what free time slots they have. They will usually have free slots for the same day you ring. Then pick them up from gate 3.
You should definitely opt for Firenze card - even if you cannot enough attractions in 72 hours (to have the card 200% paid like in other cities) it is well worth as it saves you hours in waiting lines
The famous Uffizi gallery, where masterpieces by Botticelli, Caravaggio, Rubens, and more will keep you occupied for hours. Expert tip: Pre-book online to beat the queue: telegraph.co.uk/florenceguide
We found that paying extra 5 euro to skip the line was well worth it. Make sure you book half a day if you plan on seeing everything. We also payed an extra 8 euro 4 recorded tour which was v helpful!
