First let me say that I wasn't that excited to be visiting this museum. I don't know much of anything about art history, but my husband went to an art school and he was really looking forward to it. So I went just to make him happy, but I think I ended up enjoying it even more than he did!... more

Okay there may be famous artists here and if you are a student of Western Art, you may want to take it in, but it is not as impressive as the Louvre or National Gallery in London. And with the line ups and cost to get, what's all the fuss? However, I must admit the statues in the piazza outside... more

All of the Renaissance greats are represented at the Uffizi - a must for any art lover visiting Florence. Arrive early or late, make reservations, and dress comfortably. If going in the summer dress light - there is spotty air conditioning at best and its hot in there! Still worth the trouble! more

Definitely reserve tickets; it costs a bit more but is worth it. And you do really have to pay attention to the little bitty signs in order to get in the right line; in Florence in general we found that they are not very good at providing instructions or context or explanations of what you are supposed to do or... more

I was so glad we made it. We came into Firenze on a Sunday and only had a couple hours to see all the museums that are closed on Mondays. We barely made it to the Uffizi before it's closing time. It was amazing the art was beautiful and I almost cried I was so touched a few times. We... more

We were really looking forward to the Uffizi, and signed up for a personal guided tour through florence-tickets.com, but when the guide failed to show, we did the audio tour on our own. (NOTE: We recommend strongly against booking a guided tour through florence-tickets.com.) The audio tour was sufficient for us. There's a nice outdoor terrace with food and drinks... more

It is unreasonable and unfair to complain about the line at Uffizi. Any traveler who has taken a few minutes to research Florence would know they must purchase tickets in advance. I am not especially interested in art, but Uffizi is full of famous works a non-expert would recognize. Once inside, the crowd is a reasonable size and you can... more

the line for people who didn't have reservations was incredibly long, and did not move at all. they only move the line for people with reservations. Even though we had reservations we showed up 30mins early because you need to wait in a line to get the tickets which took 20mins and then once you have the tickets you need... more

Even with a reservation - which is kind of insulting, paying 8 bucks just to avoid a line - you are still swarmed by crowds inside the gallery. While it is spectacularly beautiful - the ceilings of the building are works of art in themselves - visiting the Uffizi is a stressful experience. And it is made worse by the... more

There are some great paintings, however the whole experience was a very bad one. I did not make a prebooking reservation and I was told it is better to go there early in order not to wait long. I went there at 9 clock and I had to wait in the queue for 3 and a half hours to get... more
