    Gucci Garden has big patio umbrella and nice cocktails, but the food was forgettable and limited menu which was pricey. More of a cocktail bar and place to have quiet area and shade. Recommended if you need a break from the crowds and access to a clean restroom.

    If you're in Florence and have a little time to spare, the Gucci Museum (Gucci Garden) is definitely worth a stop. It's right in Piazza della Signoria, so it's easy to find and perfect for a quick visit. The museum is small but packed with interesting exhibits that take you through the history and evolution of Gucci, from classic vintage pieces to more modern, cutting-edge designs. The space itself is beautiful--very chic and modern--and it's easy to walk through without feeling overwhelmed. I loved seeing how the brand has changed over the years while staying true to its roots. They also incorporate some cool contemporary art installations that make it feel fresh and unique. The staff were welcoming and happy to answer questions, and the boutique inside has some really fun, exclusive items. If you have time afterward, the Gucci Osteria is a great spot for a coffee or a snack and adds a nice touch to the visit. Even if you're not super into fashion, it's an inspiring look at creativity and craftsmanship. It's stylish, a little unexpected, and a fun way to experience a piece of Italian culture.

    Chic Outdoor Dining with Style and Flavor Gucci Giardino in Florence is a charming outdoor restaurant tucked beside the Gucci Garden museum. It's the perfect spot to relax and take in the beauty of the square. I started with their Espresso Martina--a sophisticated cocktail made with Zacapa 23 rum infused with tonka bean, Rum Matusalem, vanilla, chocolate bitters, coffee, and foamer. Smooth, bold, and beautifully presented. For lunch, I had their Italian twist on a Croque-Monsieur--essentially a French-inspired grilled ham and cheese, elevated with rich ingredients and expert technique. Absolutely delicious. Service was a little slow, but that's part of the relaxed pace in Europe. I wasn't in a hurry and actually enjoyed the slower tempo--it gave me time to enjoy the people-watching and ambiance of the square. Highly recommend for a stylish, leisurely lunch with great cocktails and a side of Florentine charm.

    Unfortunately we were disappointed with our experience at the outdoor Gucci patio. Maybe we had high expectations, but this is no more than sitting in the square with some bushes and umbrellas around you. Although the menu was dapper and it was nice to sit in the shade, the drinks were a let down as well. Overall I wouldn't recommend taking the time to stop here, head to the Four Seasons for a drink instead and you will be far more pleased.

    Oh this was so much fun! You don't have to be a fashionista to appreciate the fun displays they have inside. It's such a colorful and refreshing take on a museum. They do a great job of showcasing the rich history of this fashion house in an interactive and alluring way. I really enjoyed the room completely filled with purses. It seemed to go on forever and who doesn't want to go drool over those beauties. The gown room was fantastic as well. I loved that they give you the opportunity to study them up close and to see all their intricate details. The museum is pretty small and we were able to do everything pretty fast (1 hour or so). Great spot to get away from the heat, crowds or rain for a bit.

    Not sure why I never posted this review but here it is. After having dinner at the Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura our waiter gave us two tickets to the museum. Two days later I went to check it out and was very impressed with the collections on display. The exhibit showcases different styles from the Gucci timeline. So many vintage pieces that I never saw or knew about. Gucci is one of my most favorite designer brands so I really enjoyed to see the story and history behind every piece. The first floor is a very unique Gucci store that you can actually make purchases from. Clothes, purses, luggage, home decor and more. Things you can only find here and not in other Gucci boutiques.

    The NY Times recommended this garden with an on -site café and a terrace overlooking Florences prettiest piazza. I got in line in front and managed to ignore the beggars. We spent about an hour here very creative and well done. Exhibits displayed Gucci collections over the years in very creative ways set to music. The colorful & engaging exhibits were on two floors. There wasn't a place to sit down so we had to keep moving. Interesting and unlike anything we've seen before. On the first floor we saw three rooms of Gucci Garden Collection.

    A room full of cyberpunk.

    This place was a ton of fun. We have been to other places like this, which feel like they are made for Instagram. Gucci Garden or Gucchi Museum does much more. They have a QR code that explains the two stories of fun escapes. My daughter and wife had a blast in the Exciting different rooms. The commentary of each room added color to why The rooms were set up. It is immediately next to the Palazzo Vecchio and is worth visiting.

    Gucci Garden Gucci Garden Gucci Garden. Did you know Tom Ford worked for Gucci from 1990-2004? If you're a real Gucci person, you must buy a piece here. Everything is unique and the staff is very helpful. We ended up not buying anything, but we did check out the museum upstairs which is 100% worth it. Florence is the best city in Italy because of gems like the Gucci Garden!

    Fashion in Firenze! Gucci Garden is a must when you're staying in Florence or just passing through. The exhibit rotates showcasing different themes and pieces from the Gucci timeline. The museum is three levels with stair and elevator accessibility. It also has two stores on the first level. Gucci Garden branded items are only available in store and are not available for purchase or shipping online, so if you see something you like - buy it! For those visiting from out of the country, these items are available for a tax-free reimbursement. Next door, there is also a restaurant: Gucci Osteria by Massimo Bottura - famed Italian chef who owns one of the world's best restaurants in Bologna. Hot tip: students can enter the museum for free! Make sure to bring your Student ID.

    Very well done museum, and I now have a new appreciation for how incredible Gucci is. They push boundaries, incorporate nature and loud colors, go for interesting models, and push boundaries. This was a fun and small interactive museum that could be done in an hour. Even if you just need an AC break, stop by here

    Gucchi Garden is so Gucchi. Fans of the fancy and fashionable Double G brand will love visiting this museum located in the Palazzo della Mercanzia (dating back to 1337) in Florence just steps from the world-famous Galleria degli Uffizi on Piazza della Signoria. The Gucci brand was created in Florence in 1921 by Guccio Gucci so it makes sense that the company create a beautiful exhibit space in the city. The location couldn't be better. Tickets are 8€ per person and provide access to 6 rooms of exhibitions and art on 2 floors full of creations from current creative director Alessandro Michele as well pieces from the past by Tom Ford and others. The vintage pieces were the most interesting to me bringing a mix of memories and awe while the futuristic nature of Gucci design continues to scream modern Guccification. The iconic Gucci web stripe is hard to miss; however, many of the dresses, jackets, shoes, and luggage on display are uniquely Gucci in other ways. There are many ways to spend 8€ in Firenze and lots of museums to check out which means Gucci Garden doesn't rise to level of "must-see," except for diehard fans, but the brand museum was well-done and I'm a fan because it's all Gucci at Gucci Garden.

    We stopped here in Florence as I love everything Gucci and Massimo Bottura. He is the ultimate chef who brings good food to everyone . Massimo continues to inspire his fast cars/slow food movement and this location will make you smile. I love all the colors and the cafe is so classy, typical "Fiorentino". The Gucci Garden is a beautiful shop with items only available here in Florence(no where else) and a gallery that costs 8 euros to enter. There is also a Michelin star restaurant on the premises. We enjoyed our cappuccino in the cafe as the outdoor seating was closed due to rain. It's worth a stop if you're in Florence !

    You cannot visit Florence without visiting Galleria dell'Accademia to see Michelangelo's David…read more Though I had a tour guide, I felt like the pace was too slow. 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.

The David was sculpted between 1501 and 1504, then unveiled in the public square in front of the Palazzo della Signoria, where it stood for almost 400 years. It was moved to the Galleria dell'Accademia in 1873, and has been the museum's lifeblood ever since. €20 a ticket and more for merch, plus lawsuits for unauthorized use of the David. Pretty, pretty, pretty good. We only had about two days in Florence, one of them set aside for a Tuscan wine tour, but we weren't leaving without seeing the David. Our concierge booked us same-day tickets when we checked into our hotel, and we went at the appointed entry time, at 5:00. The museum was plenty busy, even on a Tuesday during low season, but I believe we visited under ideal conditions. We entered the museum and bam, there was the David, standing majestically in the heart of the Accademia. He was in his own domed alcove lined on one side with bench seating, where people could sit and look up at his giant marble ass. Like everyone else, I'd seen images of the David all throughout my life. But seeing it in person was a revelatory experience. I know size isn't everything, but when it comes to iconic statues chiseled from single blocks of marble, size certainly matters. The David is 17 feet tall and completely breathtaking. A beautiful colossus, every inch of his famously nude body sculpted in wondrous detail. We took advantage of the thin crowd and spent quite some time circling the statue, while also reading about it on Wikipedia from the comfort of the benches. An extraordinary, educational pleasure. The rest of the museum was nice, too, if entirely secondary to the David. There were several other statues and old religious paintings, as well as the Hall of the Prisoners, featuring four unfinished Michelangelo sculptures. These cut a path to the David and were fascinating in their incompletion. Michelangelo apparently saw the work of a sculptor as freeing the forms lying inside each block of stone. This sounds like something an artist would tell a reporter, but looking at those unfinished sculptures, I could see the figures trying to make their way out. The Galleria dell'Accademia is small, and we were in and out in about 40 minutes. If you're a tourist in Florence and have €20 and 40 minutes, I can't imagine a better way to spend them than at David's enormous feet.

    November 6, 2024 3:45-6:45PM…read more We initially didn't plan to visit but was told this is a must do in Florence. I'm glad we did. I love art museums and thought this was more religious artifacts but glad to see some of my new favorite paintings in person. Silly me! Upon entering the museum, there a lot of stairs to climb. Get your exercise in for sure! I did see a very tiny elevator a little bit hidden to the side, so they definitely can accommodate those needing accessibility but plan accordingly as the elevator was tiny, probably one stroller/wheelchair at a time. The Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Spring are both so amazing to see in person. The works of Caravaggio were very powerfully presented. The da Vinci, the Michelangelo, the Raphael... so many great artist and their works are housed here. Lots of Sweet Baby Jesus and the Madonna, various Adam and Eve paintings.. My favorite besides Botticelli's, was from Pietro Perugino's a Portrait of a young man.. the eyes, the emotions, almost the sadness... what a great painting. The various views from the Uffizi Galleries of Florence was also pretty amazing, from Ponte Vecchio, along the Arno River and the view of the city... so glad we went during sunset as I caught some pretty great shots with just my iPhone.

The place was built by the Medicis and houses much of the art they collected, all of it given to the city of Florence as the family died off. It's been open to select visitors since the 16th century and to the public since 1769, making it one of the world's first modern museums. We went with a small group tour (provided by Things To Do In, which dealt with the ticketing), and this was 100% worth the added expense. The Uffizi is huge and full of treasures, and our guide's expertise felt pretty essential. We met in the courtyard, which was bustling with tourists at 10AM on a cold, off-season Thursday. The courtyard is notable in its own right, beautiful and historic, with a view of the Arno River. Sculptures of famous artists fill the niches between the columns. Our meeting point was underneath Nicola Pisano. We made our way from there into the Uffizi's grand hallways, works of art in themselves, and lined with statuary. Our tour was an hour and a half long and took us through just a few highlights of the museum, which contains an astonishing collection of Italian Renaissance works. We admired a display of three Italian Madonnas, masterpieces of the 13th and 14th centuries by Cimabue, Duccio, and Giotto (our guide's mini lecture on the Giotto will stay with me for a long time). We saw Simone Martini's Annunciation with St. Margaret and St. Ansanus, with its wtf-no-thank-you Virgin Mary, the Adoration of the Magi by Gentile da Fabriano, embellished with gold and textiles. I'm ignorant and didn't know what we'd be seeing at the Uffizi and was genuinely surprised to walk into a room and see Botticelli's Primavera and The Birth of Venus. Incredible paintings, and a privilege to see in person. We hit the ninja turtles next: Leonardo da Vinci's Annunciation and unfinished Adoration of the Magi; Michelangelo's Doni Tondo, his only surviving finished panel painting; and Raphael's Madonna of the Goldfinch. Our tour ended there, but we had much more to see, and our guide helpfully told us a few paintings to look out for. The Medici portraits by Agnolo Bronzino, especially the Portrait of Eleonora di Toledo with her son Giovanni. Titian's Venus of Urbino, a historically significant nude. And three works by Caravaggio: Bacchus, Sacrifice of Isaac, and Medusa, all of them amazing. I also enjoyed the extensive gallery of self-portraits and the temporary exhibition on Florence and Europe in the 18th century. This included some great paintings and sculpture, but without a guide to put them in context, I have to admit the giant stone lion dick made the most lasting impression. We hit the gift shop on our way out, hoping to find a postcard of Florence we could send to our kids. Unfortunately for us, all the postcards were of the gallery's artworks, and we didn't think our three- and five-year-old would get much out of religious paintings or Medusa's decapitated head. I left the Uffizi with a new appreciation for Italian art, and honestly, a sharpened interest in art in general. This was an enriching visit, full of marvels, maybe the best thing we did on our trip to Florence.

This church was near our hotel and I wanted to at least see it as I'd taken an architecture course once in college that covered it. The back of the church is close to the front of the main Florence train station, separated by a wide street with multiple light rail tracks. You need to walk around to the far side (from the station) to see the façade, which is the famous view. There are businesses flanking one side of the church (hotels, restaurants, and other shops). There was some booth set up where people attempted to flag down passing pedestrians (I'm not sure if it was some political thing or they were eventually asking for donations, etc.; we escaped without hearing their pitch). Also around the front of the church there were African guys selling trinkets or attempting to engage tourists to sell something. These guys were fairly common throughout downtown Florence, actually. In front of the church is a large plaza which provides good longer-range unobstructed views for photos. The front of the church is sort of a 'late Gothic transitioning into the Renaissance' style. It is quite striking and worth a short detour on your way to the city center. The best lighting for photos seemed to be in the mid to late afternoon.

Thus was born this church. Today Santa Croce is a museum complex that brings together the Basilica, the chapels, the monastery, the bell tower, and the part dedicated exclusively to exhibitions, such as the former refectory, where we came last Tuesday. The €10 entry fee was well worth it. One has to wear appropriate outfits to gain entry. Basically, just make sure one has long shorts below the knees and arms are covered. Once inside this ornate Florentine gothic style, our attention is immediately drawn to the east end, where the tall narrow stained glass windows pierce the walls. The center nave is wide and well-lit. What is significant about Santa Croce is it became the resting place of so many great Italians, such as the great historian and writer Niccolò Machiavelli, sculptor and painter Michelangelo Buonarroti, astronomer Galileo Galilei, and composer Gioachino Rossini. There were probably more than a thousand art pieces on display here, including works of Brunelleschi, Donatello, and Giotto. One can easily spend half a day here--there is that much to see and explore!
