The Uffizi Gallery is Florence’s essential Renaissance collection. Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and Caravaggio help tell the story of Italian art from the Middle Ages to the Baroque. The Vasari-designed building and its views over the Arno are part of the experience. Booking an official timed entrance is advisable; check current access and accessibility information before travelling.
How to experience it
Reserve an official timed entrance and allow at least two hours. The accessibility office publishes dedicated routes and assistance contacts.
Before you go
Do not try to see everything. Choose a small group of works or rooms, pause for the architecture and leave enough energy for the walk back into the city. Official sites remain the safest source for tickets, temporary closures, accessibility and bag rules.
