The Uffizi Gallery is a must-see in Florence. Built in 1560, it is considered the oldest museum in the world, designed by the renowned Renaissance architect Giorgio Vasari at the request of Cosimo I de' Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany.
To reinforce the Medici family’s authority, Cosimo created offices to keep his rivals under surveillance, giving rise to the name "Uffizi" (or "offices"). After his death, his eldest son, Francesco I, transformed the building into his private museum, showcasing a valuable art collection.
With this tour, you will quickly learn the history of the precious masterpieces preserved in Florence. At the end, take a break at the gallery’s terrace café, enjoy the stunning view of the city, and take the opportunity to capture unforgettable photos.
