Positives:

  • Panoramic views: Wide windows offer uninterrupted vistas of Ponte Vecchio and the Arno River.
  • Intimate setting: Timed small-group entry creates a more private atmosphere for couples.

Challenges:

  • Strict booking times: You must reserve Uffizi entry and corridor time together and adhere to your slot.
  • Limited space: The narrow, one-way passage can feel crowded if you linger too long at windows.

Pretty disappointing experience. The corridor itself offers very little — just a small collection of marble statues and nothing truly remarkable. The walk is short, maybe 15 minutes, and the guide provides no real explanations. The biggest issue is that when you enter the Uffizi you must be ready to leave at a fixed time, which means you can’t freely enjoy the gallery at your own pace. On top of t...

I booked the evening tour of the Vasari Corridor because it was advertised as a unique and unforgettable experience. Unfortunately, it turned out to be very disappointing. In reality, it is simply an empty corridor — without paintings, without meaningful displays, and offered at quite a high price. The description suggested that one could imagine walking in the footsteps of great historical figure...

It is utter nonsense to give this corridor one or two stars. First of all there is plenty of time to see the great art in the Uffizi before the appointed walk in the corridor, nobody has to be hurried at all.

An utter disappointment. It was nothing more than a recently painted corridor, with a series of busts that had been covered, awaiting an opening of sorts, and an intriguing view into a church from the corridor. We could’ve lived with this, but because the start times were so strict we ended up rushing our visit to the Ufizzi in order to get to the starting point at the proper time. There were som...

All the reviews that tell you that it’s completely empty are true. There’s no artwork, all is modern. But I loved the experience anyway. You can see the main roads of ancient Florence from above, you’re passing on top of the Ponte Vecchio, it’s so cool to imagine being part of the Medici family and just use this passage to go from one palace to the other. You can see Florence as you usually don’...
