Amazing works by many outstanding artists. A huge collection of paintings, sculptures, drawings. Here you can see with your own eyes the masterpieces of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli. The interior of the gallery is magnificent. It is an indescribable feeling to walk through the gallery, which has existed for almost five centuries. There are benches where you can sit and relax. Impressions - for a lifetime.
The Uffizi! One of the most famous art museums in the world, and for me the best, if only because it can be viewed in one visit, unlike, for example, the dimensionless Louvre or the Hermitage. In March, Florence is full of tourists from different countries, but despite all my fears, I managed to get into the gallery after only twenty minutes in line. The ticket costs 25 euros, not cheap, but the impressions justify any costs. The audience crowds in front of Botticelli's "Spring" and "The Birth of Venus", Leonardo da Vinci's amazing "Annunciation"... You can't count all the masterpieces. In addition to the main exhibition, a collection of self-portraits is offered, which includes Rembrandt, Rubens, and even our Kustodiev. The Uffizi Palace itself is beautiful, with windows overlooking the Arno River and the Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge) across it.
It is impossible to visit Florence and not visit the Ufizzi Gallery! By the way, do you know why it is called Ufizzi? Because this was once the location of offices where characters like Botticelli worked! And you may have something that goes well with the masterpieces of Italian painting and sculpture!! The place is a must-visit!!!!
It is very strange to rate museums. Of course, the Uffizi Gallery is magnificent, incomparable, interesting and unforgettable. Although, some Russian citizens like to compare European museums with the Hermitage, the Russian Museum or the Tretyakov Gallery. No, they are completely different. The Uffizi Gallery is much smaller, but it does not lose its charm and significance at all. And the big plus is that you can get around it in a day. M.B. someone will need my advice. We go to Rome, and from there to other cities for one day on high-speed trains. We went to Florence once at the end of March and went on vacation. We did not buy tickets to the Uffizi in advance, we arrived at 10 a.m., crowds of schoolchildren. We didn't get there, because the queue is huge. We went the second time in early February, booked tickets for 10 a.m., and paid 5 euros over the ticket price. They came, but there was no one at the ticket office. You could buy it on the spot and go straight through. But on the other hand, we enjoyed the beauty of the gallery in a free atmosphere, there were few visitors. But after 2 hours it was already crowded, there are a lot of Asian excursions, they are quite noisy. I really wanted to see Botticelli's paintings, they hang in a separate room. There is direct light and heat coming from them. I am happy to go to this museum again, not to inspect and comprehend everything that is there in one visit.
An amazing museum, very rich in exhibits. I recommend dividing the visit into 2 days to enjoy everything, otherwise in the end there is not enough strength for everything.

One of the most famous galleries in the world. Beautiful paintings by Renaissance masters, the true Italian style of artists, the glory and pride of Florence, Tuscany, and all of Italy!
A huge collection of paintings and statues, there is always a queue at the entrance, but it moves very fast. The golden bridge is visible from the window. We didn't take the audio guide, we enjoyed it in silence :) The water at the entrance in a large bottle was taken away, a small one was allowed. A great break from walking in the sweltering heat. For some reason, Hermaphrodite and painted ceilings were especially impressed.
This place is turning upside down and back!
It's worth going early in the morning and spending the whole day there. Enjoying every piece of art! A wonderful gallery, where the most worthy exhibits are collected. There is a cafe, you can take a break and have lunch. I highly recommend it!
A good souvenir shop, you can buy a catalog or postcards as a keepsake!
An amazing collection! There are a lot of visitors, but I didn't see anyone, I enjoyed my work. Tickets were bought online, arrived in advance, managed to visit another museum located next door.
An outstanding gallery with works by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli and many other great
Cafe with a terrace and a view of the tower
Got free on the first Sunday of the month! I stood in line for 10 minutes, quickly looked through things and gave out a free ticket. In an hour I found 2 kilometers looking at the paintings, I was very tired and could not see the entire collection.
A magnificent museum! Austin is one of the best in the world! Masterpieces , the most famous works of art . There is an audio guide in Russian. Even the hour-long queue at the entrance did not spoil the impression! I highly recommend it!
A magnificent museum. we were in early February 2018. They visited on their own. The museum is simply huge. Magnificent sculptures and paintings. You won't be able to see the whole museum in one day.The architecture of the museum itself is impressive. if you walk through any of the galleries of the museum, pay attention to the ceilings. That's very beautiful. They are painted with frescoes. I liked the room where the ceiling in the form of a dome is decorated with real shells
The cradle of history. A wonderful museum, one of the most important that a civilized person needs to know. All the major Renaissance artists are gathered in it. If you do not personally place it, then view the collection on the museum's website
A great opportunity to get closer to the masterpieces of Davinci, Batticelli,
Caravaggio et al. A ticket for one day of visit costs 26€ , 12€ audio guide. The queue for tickets took 40 minutes, in general, not long by the standards of a museum of this scale. I recommend a mandatory visit!
It is impossible to give any assessment to this museum. Even 5 stars won't be enough for him. A huge number of masterpieces by great artists and sculptors are collected here. In addition, the management of the Galleries (that's what the Italians say - not a Gallery, since there are several galleries under one roof) does everything possible to ensure that the museum meets the requirements of an "accessible environment"). It is comfortable for everyone here.
At the Uffizi, everyone is scared by queues at the ticket office. We were on January 8, 2020 - the halls were deserted, we went on a group tour until the museum closed. At the entrance, you can take a booklet with a plan of the halls (though in English).
At the Uffizi Gallery, we were struck by the lack of a wardrobe (we were there in January)- the visitors wore outerwear and also carried backpacks and bags. Of course, there was strict control at the entrance at a modern level. This is probably justified by the fact that the halls are quite cool - Italians save on heating. Unfortunately, on electricity too. Some rooms are frankly dark. This unfortunate circumstance prevented us from fully enjoying the magnificent collection of stunning masterpieces of painting and sculpture by the greatest masters.
In Italy, you need to visit the gallery! An interesting place! The queue is big, but you can go faster for a little money in a separate queue! I recommend it!
