Plan your visit to Uffizi Gallery

One of the most famous art museums in all of Italy, the Uffizi Gallery is famous for its vast collection of highly prestigious works of art. The collection is spread over three floors: the museum has more than one hundred rooms adorned with extraordinary works by artists such as Sandro Botticelli, Titian, and Artemisia Gentileschi, Roman sculptures, prints, and drawings. Visiting the Uffizi Gallery means being transported back in time to the times of the greatest Italian artistic splendour.

The Uffizi Gallery is a prominent art museum adjacent to the Piazza della Signoria in the historic center of Florence in the Tuscany region. One of the most important Italian museums and the most visited is also one of the largest and most well-known in the world and retains a collection of priceless works, particularly from the Italian Renaissance period.

After the death of the Medici, their art collections were equipped with the city of Florence under the famous family pact negotiated by Anna Maria Luisa, the last Medici heir. Uffizi is one of the first modern museums. The gallery was open to visitors on request from the 16th century, and in 1765 it was officially open to the public, formally becoming a museum in 1865.

Today Uffizi is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Florence. The Uffizi hosted over two million visitors in 2016, making it the most visited Galleria art in Italy. In high season (particularly in July), waiting times can be up to five hours. However, tickets are available online in advance to significantly reduce the waiting time. The museum has been renovated for over double the number of rooms used to show works of art.

Remember that to buy the Uffizi tickets, you can go directly to the museum, with the risk of making long files, or you can buy tickets online and, with a small surcharge, get the date and safe cancellation!
