Florence, the cradle of the Italian Renaissance, looks like an open air museum to most visitors. The squares and buildings themselves witness the history of the past eras. Florence’s cathedral, churches and many palaces were designed, built and decorated by illustrious artists of the past, from Brunelleschi to Michelangelo, and can be admired freely from the outside. Most of the masterpieces commissioned by merchants and bankers are now protected and displayed in churches and palaces which have been turned into museums. There you will find the paintings, sculptures and frescoes imagined and created by the greatest minds such as Botticelli, Leonardo, Giotto, Raffaello, Brunelleschi and Michelangelo. In the small city of Florence you will find 72 museums, considering Galleries, Museums, Private Collections, Last Suppers and Churches. Let me help you decide which ones are worth your precious time in this city.
MY PRIVATE UFFIZI GALLERY TOUR (2 hours or 3 hours)
- Length: two hours or 3 hours.
- Meeting point: in Piazza della Signoria (exact location tba upon booking)

Useful hints: the Uffizi Gallery is among the most visited in Italy, with over 1.5 million visitors each year, so long lines are inevitable, often even with an advance reservation ticket. Weekends, Tuesdays and mornings are the busiest times. In high season my personal suggestion is to book the entrance at 8:15am. During the summer the museum is usually open until 10 pm on Tuesdays. On Mondays State museums such as Uffizi & Accademia are closed. For exact summer late openings schedule, further info and tailor-made requests please contact: info@florencewithflair.com
