Uffizi Gallery Tickets

Backpacks, bags, umbrellas, and other large objects must be stored in the cloakroom after you enter – you can do this directly after showing your Uffizi Gallery tickets at the entrance.

Storage is free. You may be asked to undergo a metal detector inspection in some museums.

Visitors under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Mobile phones must be turned on silent mode. Selfie sticks, light stands, tripods, or any kind of professional equipment is forbidden.

Most people plan to spend at least 3-4 hours exploring the Uffizi Gallery. This should be long enough to see all the exhibits at a leisurely pace, stopping to get up close to the main works of art.

To avoid the crowds, plan to visit in the early morning (before 11:00) and in the late afternoon (after 16:00).

If you're on a tight timeframe and just want to see the main masterpieces, try and allow yourself a minimum of two hours.

Browsing all those amazing Uffizi Gallery paintings is bound to make any promising artist hungry, especially if you've used your Uffizi Gallery tickets early to try and beat the crowds! The good news is that there's a cafe, which provides restaurant service on the Gallery floor. Perfect for a light lunch after your visit.

Find it on the terrace above the Uffizi Loggia and keep some battery in your phone for those incredible views over the city.

The popular Uffizi Gallery is located in the heart of Florence, right next Palazzo Vecchio and the Arno river with great views of Ponte Vecchio.
