The gallery is huge so be prepared to walk and climb stairs. Excellent variety of art and sculpture arrange in beautiful rooms and halls. Well worth seeing but don't do as I did and schedule the Accademia, Uffizi and Pitti Palace all in one day! More

We enjoyed the art we saw but the museum was very crowded with tour groups who swarm the paintings and make it hard to have a peaceful look for yourself. We were also treated very rudely by the staff on multiple occasions and we did nothing to deserve this, the staff was obviously just cranky andannoyedto have to serve English... More

Wonderful art - though only of a limited period and geographical range, so not in any way a conventional gallery. Pre-booking is essential unless you love queueing. The profusion of guided tours is a real irritation. It would be far better if their size were limited They are loud, intrusive and completely clog up the area in front of the... More

If you are only visiting Florence then sure go and see it but after seeing galleries such as the Musee d'Orsay and Louvre in Paris, this is a bit of a let down.... I say that but it also depend what kind of artistic styles you prefer.... I'm no art critic, just a regular Jo. If you're no art pro... More

On our way to Italy, my wife and I decided we both wanted to visit the Uffizi. For those of you who don't know what it is: the Uffizi is a former palace, owned by a tremendously rich family, who crammed every nook and cranny with art :). One of the pieces I really wanted to see was the world... More
