We had one and a half days in Florence at the end of a week of horse riding through the Tuscan countryside, so we had to pick and choose our activities carefully. After reading reviews, we decided to skip the Uffizi Gallery and spend our entire Sunday at the Pitti Palace, and we are SO happy that we chose this... More

This was my second time in Florence and when I go back I will definitely go to the Pitti Palace again. We bought the B ticket, gardens and porcelain, costume galleries. The place is vast and there isn't enough time in a day (or two) to see everything. It is not as crowded as other museums but the stairs may... More

Make the trek across the Arno (you will want to a couple times throughout your trip). But make sure you plan to spend at least a half day here. This is included on the Firenze card which is always a nice benefit. There are very few crowds since it is removed from the city center but the gardens attached are... More

Short queues. Be sure you know what you want to see as one ticket does not cover all the attractions, e.g. the Boboli Gardens and the Palatine Gallery are on separate tickets so to see them both, even if you didn't want to see any of the other attractions, you will have to purchase 2 tickets. If you have limited... More

We spent an enjoyable few hours at the Pitti Palace, exploring the art displays and the gardens. It's quite easy to find, simply just head straight up the road from the Ponte Vecchio and after a few minutes it will be on the left. There is an entrance fee and there are two types of tickets (A and B). The... More

The museum of modern art displays an excellent collection of works in a magnificent setting, so I found myself spending almost as much time admiring the palace as the artwork itself. The ceramic museum is anti-climactic, although set in formal gardens offering a superb vista. Plan to enjoy as much time in the grounds as in the palace!

The Uffizi Gallery was mobbed so we went on Tour #1 at the Pitti Palace and it is an excellent art museum in a beautiful palace with gardens.

Across from the Arno river from the town center. Next to the Boboli Gardens. Good Arquitectural landmark.

This museum was my favorite one in all the cities we visited. The art is mind-boggling. Every surface of every room is decorated with outstanding paintings and moldings. You could spend a week here but your feet will probably be tired after a couple of hours. Donn't miss walking across the Ponte Vecchio to get there.

It's a lovely building, the chandeliers are not to be missed, and there is so much to see here. I love that you see more than art - you see other household items. Really lovely presentations and good curating. It is a little crowded but not as bad as other museums in Florence because there were NO TOURS. (a big... More
