The only reason I'd ever return here would be for the gardens, more specifically the beautiful view of Florence. Inside the palace, the "apartments" we're really just a series of ornately decorated rooms that all looked exactly the same. The costume gallery was very poorly organized and just not worth the four flights of stairs you have to climb to... More

If you purchase a combined ticket to everything it could take a day or more to see it all. If you want an option that includes, ancient architecture, gardens and art with less crowds than some other options this is a great choice and easily accessible. More

I am glad I purchased the ticket which included all of the areas of the palace. However, it was somewhat confusing figuring out where each area began. The palace itself is gorgeous and really enjoyed seeing the jewels and antiquities. Be prepared for a lot of steps. More

This is great value (free!) if you're over 65. I did this on our last day, by which time I was suffering serious cultural overload. There's almost too much world class painting to see (wall-fulls of Titians, Rubens, Tintorettos, Raphaels.......) Best taken in bits. The gardens are lovely (but more steps...) More

We were disappointed by Pitti Palace, However, we must clarify that we did not view the Palatine Gallery, which is probably the best component of this museum. We had seen the Uffizi Museum and Palatine has similar works but not of the same caliber. We also did not see the Costume Gallery. However, we viewed Museo degli Argenti;Porcelain Museum; and...

We happened to be there as there was a Japanese exhibition and the experience was wonderful. We experienced a tea ceremony and sampled green tea and sweets and were entertained by Japanese musicians all in their traditional costumes. The rooms of the palace are magnificent and you will be amazed by the great art collection of the Medici. I enjoyed... More
