【Italy】Florence - Uffizi Gallery

The "Uffizi Gallery" is an art museum located in the heart of Florence, Italy, primarily showcasing Italian paintings from the 13th to 18th centuries. Across its second and third floors, there are approximately 100 exhibition rooms featuring works by renowned artists such as "Leonardo da Vinci," "Michelangelo," and "Raphael," with a total of around 2,500 pieces on display at any given time.

If you visit without a reservation, it is quite common to be unable to enter on the same day, so making a reservation in advance is highly recommended! Additionally, it’s best to enter first thing in the morning to view the popular artworks early. During peak seasons, the museum can get extremely crowded, making it difficult to enjoy the exhibits leisurely, so morning visits are ideal!

Don’t miss Botticelli’s "The Birth of Venus" and the "Tribuna," which is considered one of the most beautiful rooms in the museum. The recommended time for a visit is about 3 hours, but if you want to thoroughly appreciate the artworks, you may need 4 to 5 hours or more.

The Uffizi Gallery is regarded as a treasure trove of Renaissance paintings, representing Italian art. It is also one of the oldest modern art museums in Europe. The Renaissance-style building, constructed in 1560, was originally designed as an administrative and judicial office. The museum itself is a highly valuable work of art, with features like its corridors and the octagonal "Tribuna" room. It houses famous paintings that everyone knows, such as Leonardo da Vinci’s "Annunciation" and Sandro Botticelli’s "The Birth of Venus."
