Enjoy the art at the Uffizi Gallery

The Uffizi Gallery is a major art museum in Florence, Tuscany, Italy, near to the Piazza della Signoria. It is one of the most significant and frequented museums in Italy, as well as one of the largest and best renowned in the world, and it has a collection of priceless artifacts, mainly from the Italian Renaissance period. The Uffizi was one of the earliest modern museums. The gallery has been available to visitors on request since the sixteenth century, and in 1765 it was officially opened to the public, becoming a museum in 1865.

Waiting times might reach five hours during peak season (especially in July). To considerably shorten the waiting time, tickets are available online in advance. A new ticketing system is being tried to minimize wait times from hours to minutes. Anyone visiting Florence should not pass up the opportunity to visit one of the world's most famous galleries. The paintings of Italian greats such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Caravaggio are shown in one of Italy's most beautiful structures, the Palazzo degli Uffizi. The palace overlooks the magnificent Arno River and is a must-see for every art enthusiast.
