About this experience

Uffizi Gallery houses a collection of priceless works of art, deriving, as a fundamental nucleus, from the collections of the Medici, enriched over the centuries by bequests, exchanges, and donations, among which a fundamental group of religious works derived from the suppression of monasteries and convents between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries stands out. Also of great value is the collection of ancient statuary and especially that of drawings and prints which, preserved in the Cabinet of the same name, is one of the most conspicuous and important in the world and one of the most visited museums in Italy.
Plan and visit the Uffizi Gallery in Florence with a guided tour. Bypass the long wait at one of the city’s most popular attractions, and head straight inside the historic galleries with an expert guide who will lead you straight to must-see highlights.

Discover the bright hues, composition, and varying interpretations of ‘Primavera’ and the iconic ‘Birth of Venus’ as you walk through the Botticelli Room. Hear the history behind the artists and their great works, as well as the stories of the patrons who made the Uffizi the incredible museum it is today. Then check out the beauty of the world outside with a stop at the rooftop terrace. Take in gorgeous views of the Ponte Vecchio and Arno River.
