How long does the visit take?

The Uffizi is large, so give it a good part of your day. A guided tour lasts about 2 hours, and the ticket with the Vasari Corridor about 3 hours.

If you have less time, go straight to the Botticelli room, then see the Leonardo, the Michelangelo and the Caravaggio.

What are the rules at the entrance?

Tickets are in the name of the visitor, so keep your ID with you. There is a free cloakroom just after the entrances, under the east portico of the courtyard. Umbrellas, large bags and backpacks stay there.

Some areas have a metal detector. You cannot bring knives or metal objects.

Can I eat, drink or take photos?

You cannot eat or drink in the rooms. You can bring a small bottle of water, up to half a litre. Alcohol is not allowed.

Photos are fine for personal use, without flash and without a tripod. Selfie sticks, tripods and professional equipment are not allowed, and neither are drones. Works on loan for exhibitions cannot be photographed.

Dogs and children

Dogs cannot come in, except guide dogs and assistance dogs on a lead. Children under 12 must be with an adult.

Dress for a museum: swimsuits, bare chests and trekking poles are not allowed.

Accessibility

There is a ramp in Via della Ninna and there are lifts and accessible toilets on the different floors. For the second floor, ask the staff when you arrive.
