Travel bucket list idea:
Containing some 5,400 works, the Uffizi’s collection spans art history from ancient Greece through to 18th-century Venetian painting. But most of all, it is known as the world’s largest and most important collection of Renaissance and Mannerist art.
You could spend all day wandering the galleries, but the best bet is to pick out the works you want to see beforehand and head straight for those. The website has helpfully selected 14 must-see masterpieces and provided some useful background information on each – worth reading before you go.
Must-sees include Botticelli’s Primavera and The Birth of Venus, Leonardo da Vinci’s Annunciation, Caravaggio’s Bacchus and Medusa, and Michelangelo’s Holy Family.
There is a café-restaurant on the first floor at the end of the tour with a fabulous terrace offering magnificent views of the city.
The queues are legendary, so if you want to skip the worst of them it’s essential to pre-book tickets at least a week in advance via the official website of Florence Museums, entitling you to enter via a reserved entrance, or book onto a guided tour where all tickets are organised for you. If you don’t pre-book, you may not get in. This is one place where it is definitely worth investing in a pass. Pre-book a Firenze Card or Uffizi Card Amici degli, and you go to the front of the line. You may still have to wait a few minutes, though. Audio guides in six languages are available from the desk inside.
Expert-led guided tours are strongly recommended here. Aside from organising skip-the-line tickets, they’ll help you navigate the galleries, show you the greatest works that you really should see, give you the background and insight that bring the artworks to life. See our recommendations below.
The museum is open all year round, Tuesday-Sunday. Closed Monday. The quietest moments are first thing in the morning, during lunchtime and the hour before closing.
