Sweet place to see, ornamental ceilings, and lots of amazing art. Get the combined 5 day ticket with Uffizi if you want to save some coin, let's you see the palace and gardens combined alongside an amazing gallery. Docking one point because the proximity sensors in the modern art gallery section were so sensitive, sometimes you don't know what even set the alarm off.

We recently had the chance to visit the stunning Palazzo Pitti and its breathtaking Galleria Palatina in Florence. The exterior already impresses with its bold Renaissance symmetry and monumental scale – but stepping inside is like entering a different world. Lavishly decorated rooms, dazzling chandeliers, and finely detailed ceilings create a royal atmosphere that leaves you speechless. Every sp...

We only had about two hours spare and we chose to see the Modern Art exhibit… not modern art as one would normally expect to see… modern Italian art (1700s- early 1900s) would be more accurate. On a very hot day, it was a refuge from the sun and if we had more time, it would have been good to see more!

This massive Renaissance palace is packed with incredible art, fancy royal rooms, and even a fashion museum. The highlights are the Palatine Gallery (full of famous paintings) and the chance to explore the connected Boboli Gardens. It’s a bit overwhelming in size, and some areas might be closed for restoration. Buy tickets online to skip the lines, and wear comfy shoes – you’ll do lots of walking

When is the best time to visit Pitti Palace (Florence, Italy)?

In spring, blossoming magnolias and azaleas enhance Boboli Gardens' terraces. Avoid first Sundays if you prefer quieter visits due to free admission crowds.
