The Uffizi Galleries are crammed full of more Renaissance art than can be seen in one day, recommend 2-3 days of leisure time. Also some rooms don’t have good air circulation and can be really stuffy while others have great ventilation. I loved it and highly recommend while in Florence.

We got to the entrance 15 minutes before the museum opened and there was already a line. That being said, the museum is huge and early in the morning crowds weren't bad at all! We ran right upstairs to the Botticelli rooms, and got to h...
