Vasari Corridor and Uffizi Gallery

Highlights / General details

The Vasari Corridor was built in 5 months order of Grand Duke Cosimo de’ Medici in 1564, to the design of his favorite architect Giorgio Vasari. This aerial passageway would allow him and the Royal family to move freely from their residence (Palazzo Pitti) to the government palace (Palazzo della Signoria). It passes over the Ponte Vecchio, through galleries, city houses and the church of Santa Felicita. Make sure you don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy some magnificent views over the Arno from its windows and admire the incredible collection of over 1000 paintings, all dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as the important collection of Self-portraits by some of the most famous masters of painting of the 16th to the 20th century. After the visit to the Vasari corridor, you will spend some more time with our guide in the Uffzi Gallery where you will admire a collection of the famous masterpieces by Michelangelo, Botticelli, Raffaello, Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Cimabue and Masaccio.
