Meet your guide at Piazza della Signoria, Florence's political center, and listen to a brief introduction to the political situation in Florence in the mid-1500s. Learn about Cosimo de' Medici, the first Grand-duke of Tuscany who wanted the Uffizi palace to be built.
Proceed into the Uffizi Gallery with a timed admission ticket to avoid the long queues. Admire all of the most iconic paintings in the gallery including masterpieces by Giotto, Gentile da Fabriano, Fra Angelico, Masaccio, Paolo Uccello, Filippo Lippi, Sandro Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello, and Michelangelo, to mention the most famous ones.
When this unforgettable, guided tour ends and your guide departs, feel free to remain longer in the gallery and explore at your own pace. Maybe enjoy a light snack at the splendid panoramic Uffizi Caffé.
