The Uffizi holds one of the world’s greatest collections of Renaissance art, including Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, and its combination of fame and limited capacity makes it one of Florence’s busiest museums.

Skip-the-Line Ticket

A skip-the-line ticket reserves a timed entry, letting you bypass the (often very long) general admission queue and explore the galleries independently.

Guided Small-Group Tour

A small-group guided tour adds an art historian who walks you through the collection’s highlights, explaining the Medici family’s role in building it.

Is the Guided Tour Worth It?

The Uffizi’s collection benefits from context most visitors don’t have going in – a guide is worth it for a first visit, while returning visitors often prefer to wander independently.
