    Beautiful place filled with beautiful art. They specialize in roman pieces. Make sure to be punctual for your assigned timeslot because you could lose you reservation. The security is pretty thorough with checking and the bathrooms are clean. Prepare to be awed by The Birth of Venus.

    It feels a little silly leaving a review for the Uffizi, since it's more than 400 years old, and is likely to continue its existence long after I die. If anything, I am merely a speck of dust, ambling through in its storied history. But don't let these existentialist thoughts stop you from visiting one of the best museums in the world. Florence was the epicenter of Italian medieval/Renaissance art and textiles, and its collection is unparalleled. The museum is well-laid out so that it isn't too overwhelming to make it through once you're inside. Tons of paintings, statues, and iconic views of the Duomo. It's also located to many other churches, museums, and the Arno River, so it's not hard to plan your day around visiting. Make time for the gift shop - on my recent trip, they had added so many new books translated into English, so it was a treat to peruse new editions. One caveat - on my visit in September 2025, the entrance into the museum required quite a bit of stair-walking, and I didn't notice any elevators during my visit (though it's totally possible they were a bit discreet). If you have a disability, require a wheelchair or stroller, or would have difficulty climbing multiple flights, you might want to look into their accessibility before you visit.

    The entrance to this museum can get chaotic so make sure you give yourself a little buffer time to ensure you find your meeting spot or correct line for your specific entrance time. They're pretty strict. We got to our meeting point 30 mins late because the city was bonkers. I've never seen so many people. I thought kids were back in school. We still managed to get in so quickly since we had skip the line tickets. It took us under 5 mins to get to the front that we ended up having to let the people behind is go because we had to wait for our friend who decided to hit up a bar for drinks. We downed the spritz she got like it was a shot. My burps were comical. There are LOTS of steps inside. We had to carry a stroller up and down multiple times. The elevator at the entrance was out of commission. It was only available on the other side of the building. That was super uncool. Once inside, it was bumper to bumper going from one exhibit to another. Of course, the super popular pieces had crowds. Some of which were tour groups being led by a host so you constantly heard different languages. I loved the art here. It was just a little difficult to spend time to admire as there were so many people. We ended up leaving earlier than normal after we got hungry and chose food over art. I'm glad I got lots of steps in. My one major complaint is how 90% of the staff I saw were glued to their phones. It was super annoying. I had no need to ask them any questions, but had I wanted to I would've felt like was intruding. Every corner it was someone texting or scrolling on whatever they were reading.

    A classically beautiful property, with plenty of Renaissance artwork. It had two long halls in U shape that contained lots of art, painting, statues, and other. Be ready for large crowds and lines if you go. Lots of things to see but it wasn't my thing tho...

    This is one of the most famous art museums in the world. It contains a lot of Italian art and Renaissance art covering three different floors. The building is huge and very crowded. There is so much to see. The elevators were being renovated during our visit so 99% of the visitors had to walk up all of the steps to visit the 2nd and 3rd floors. The museum contents are big and beautiful. The museum can get a little hot.

    There is a lot of beheading in this museum

    Everyone said to buy your tickets ahead of time so we did. There was no line at all on a Sunday in February. We strolled in early, proceeded through security and then through a long series of rooms before reaching the corridors. I think we spent 3.5 hours and it's hard to see how it could be completed in less. This is a museum with a clear pathway. You can bop in and out of rooms but not in all directions. Tips for first timers: while there is endless statuary in the main corridor, look towards the rooms for paintings. Also many of the famous paintings like Carravagio's Medusa or Rembrandt's The Old Rabbi are at the very end of the tour back on the first floor. Tip: get a bite at the cafeteria half way through so you can stare at the Duomo from the balcony.

    A classically beautiful property, with plenty of Renaissance artwork. The artwork is not really my personal style, but if that's what you're into you'll likely enjoy this gallery. Be ready for large crowds and lines if you go. The best part for me was the opportunity to get wonderful views of the city from up high - we ended up getting some great pictures. This was the only gallery in Italy where having a local guide didn't necessarily help my appreciation for the artwork itself.

    The Uffizi Gallery in Florence is one of the world's most famous and largest art museums. You'll be amazed with some of the art works, such as The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli, Medusa by Caravaggio, Annunciation by Leonardo da Vinci and Andrea del Verrocchio etc. However, this place is really lack of maintenance, and the building wasn't purposed well for a modern museum, terrible air system and so hot inside, unclear signs and disorganized routes, no paper map and online version is way out of date as they moved things around and renamed the rooms, chaos waiting lines, and rude people bumping into you often. As visiting experience to tons of museums, this is one of the less pleasant places, and I wouldn't want to come back but still recommend those haven't been here to plan at least 3 hours to glance through.

    Quick notes: Very roman art naturally with gold accents Not my personal taste of art but some good artist found on M floor not top floor Religious mostly gold frames and religious looking art - painting Enjoyed artist and a few more: Davinci Michelangelo Raffaello Jenny Holzer Some views of the water weee pretty as well and an outside section Seem like cafe in there too-w food although I didn't check it out. Will update more later.

    Grand old museum filled with precious and gorgeous works of art. As in many esteemed art museums, tourists are everywhere with their iPhones snapping away. I get it. I like to look at photos and remember what it was like seeing these masterpieces in person. Around the corner we came upon "Birth of Venus" with a throng of tourists three-four people deep. Through a doorway to my right, I caught a glimpse of "Primavera" and was drawn to it. To see it in person was awe-inspiring. I believe the paints were mixed with mother-of-pearl so that it positively shimmered. I stood in front of this gorgeousness for a long time that day. You almost can't believe how beautiful it is; I was filled with awe...that kind of feeling you get on a cold winter's night when you can see all the stars in the sky. Like a little speck in front of a vastness, an infinite possibility. I will always love the Uffizi for that first visit. I've been back 2-3 times and now there's glass in front of the painting. Not the same but still pretty amazing.

    Standout art museum with many famous pieces. Booked our tickets online in advance. You select a specific slot, and then you have a 10 minute window to pick up your ticket from the side ticket counter, and then head to the entrance at the main door. You're ushered past security and will go down multiple stairs, only to be led up another set of stairs to the museum. You could easily spend a whole day here. There were quite a few tours and field trips, and I think that one would be helpful. We wandered around by ourselves and the amount of art to see was a bit overwhelming. That being said, it's really cool to see pieces that I've seen only in pictures up until my visit in real life (like certain Botticelli and Caravaggio pieces). Definitely a must-do when you're in Florence.

    The most amazing gallery. Second time visiting and I am just blown away more and more. Greatest masters on display and you can get up close and personal. Plenty of room to spread out so you never feel on top of people. Plenty of bathrooms, water areas and a lovely rooftop cafeteria. Elevators available if you don't want to do the stairs.

    Gohar K.

    One of the most popular museums in the world and a must see while in Florence. It gets very busy specially during the summer months so plan ahead and purchase tickets in advance. You will find some of the most incredible art and treasure on earth at Uffizi. MichaelAngelo paintings, Da Vinci, Botticelli, Giotto and many more. It's a beautiful place that will take a few hours to walk through. Breathtaking art at every corner of the building. There is a small cafe inside with rooftop seating area for you to take a break, I sure did and got my self a nice cup of cold iced coffee and pastries. Make sure to put this on your itinerary while traveling to Firenze....

    Visited at 9am. Nice works of art but crowds removed all enjoyment. Cattle call environment prevented the stopping an enjoying the works.

It's a great museum, don't get me wrong, but I'd rather beat the crowds to see David, and then take my time strolling through all the other works of art. Seeing 17' of David in person is unreal-- a human made this out of rejected marble. The magnitude of David's height and attention to detail is incredible and the lighting under a skylight highlights every vein and definition of muscle even more so. If you're looking for a deep dive art history lesson, I'd recommend using AI. Note: try to book skip-the-line tickets in advance. If you're unable to, you can try to book through a third party booking system such as Viator, but you'll be paying more.

    As a general rule, I don't do a lot of touristy things when I'm traveling. In my older age, and…read moreinfinite wisdom, I've learned that I don't need to go into all the old churches in Europe (especially if there's a line). I'll be happier sipping wine in the sunshine outside a cafe. Having said that, I still highly recommend the Boboli Gardens. My friends all wanted to go and it was a winner that I'm glad they dragged me along to visit. The grounds are gorgeous, and Florence is oddly devoid of anything green, so it's a breath of fresh air (literally) to wander around, walk up the Bowling Green, and gawk at the flowers, the trees, and one of the biggest and best stone heads I've ever seen. As a bonus, after touring the gardens we were somehow able to bypass the lines to get into the Pitti Palace, and skipping lines is my favorite. Also, the palace is just room after room of incredible paintings, gorgeous ceilings, and (my wife's favorite) some of the most intricately beautiful tables you've ever seen.

    We visited the Boboli Gardens and the Palazzo Pitti on our first afternoon in Florence, and what…read morewith the Duomo views and the Medici glamor, it was a nice introduction to the city. The palace was originally commissioned in 1458 by a Florentine banker named Pitti. The Medicis picked it up in 1549, and it remained a ruling class residence until 1919, when it was gifted to the nation and turned into a museum. It's a giant place, literally palatial, with a kind of forbidding, fortress-like aesthetic. Seems like a weird place to live, but what do I know. We walked in on a Wednesday afternoon, and neither the gardens nor the museum were crowded. We started with the Boboli Gardens, which were quite attractive, even in mid-November with nothing in bloom. It felt like a large, inclined park, pleasant to walk, with impressive fountains and tremendous views. There was an empty amphitheater and an ancient Egyptian obelisk. Tons of old statues, including a fenced-off 17th century work called "The Abundance," where we saw a weird lady sneak in to molest the base. We wandered up the garden's main axis and reached the Giardino del Cavaliere, an intricately landscaped walled garden with truly fantastic views. We spent about an hour in the gardens and another hour in the Palatine Gallery, Palazzo Pitti's primary museum space. The gallery contains over 500 paintings, most of them from the Renaissance, a collection that once belonged to the Medicis and their successors. I'm sure we would've gotten more out of the visit had we taken a guided tour, but we did pretty well walking through those endless rooms on our own. We had a good time at the Palazzo Pitti and would recommend it to anyone visiting Florence. Less mandatory than the Uffizi or the Accademia, but a great place to absorb the lavish splendor of the Medicis.
