Uffizi Gallery
One of the oldest museums in Europe, Uffizi Gallery houses a vast and diverse collection of masterpieces, like Adoration of the Magi by Leonardo da Vinci, The Old Rabbi by Rembrandt, and Medusa by Caravaggio, among others. Skip past the ticket queues and go straight to exploring with your small group.
Your guide will help you explore an impressive collection of over 1,800 Italian Renaissance paintings, 600 ancient artifacts, 100,000 prints and drawings, and sculptures, each of which tell fascinating stories about the art and culture of Italy during the Renaissance period.
The Vasari Corridor
Be one of the first ones to visit the celebrated Vasari Corridor, the elevated 750 meter-long passageway that has been reopened to the public this year, after 8 years of restoration work.
The corridor, designed by Giorgio Vasari in 1565, was originally built as a private walkway for the Medici family, to ensure a safe route above the busy streets of Florence. It connects four significant landmarks in the city - Palazzo Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery, Ponte Vecchio, and Palazzo Pitti.
Guiding inside the corridor is prohibited but your guide will walk with you and point out interesting sights and attractions. The passageway also offers scenic views of Ponte Vecchio, the Arno River, and the lively Oltrarno district, among other landmarks.
End your tour near the charming Buontalenti Grotto in the Boboli Gardens. Admire the corridor’s elaborate architecture, including its innovative design that bypasses the Mannelli Tower, a testament to the brilliance of Renaissance engineering.
