  • Half the museums were closed. Better check if you are planning to visit in Winter, like we did. The Palatine Gallery has a huge painting collection, but the light and glare is so bad you cannot view....  more

  • Beautiful palace and art on the inside museum, I highly recommend a visit. I also recommend that anyone visiting should buy their tickets online in order to skip lines and make everything easier. I bought mine a month before visiting and was very pleased to know that the date I had selected was the first Sunday of the month, which basically means free entry to every museum. The good part was that they refunded my tickets everywhere and I could still skip the lines and enter the locations super fast. The gardens were pretty but nothing I would definitely recommend. We visited after a rainy day so that was also part of why I didn't like it so much. Still, it's a nice place to go to for the first time. Every staff member was professional and helpful. Expect a gigantic place full of rooms with beautiful art from top to bottom!
  • The Pitti Palace is a stunning and beautiful place to visit in Florence. The palace interior is so beautiful and has many paintings, furniture and amazing ceilings and walls to see. Interesting to see how people used to live in the past. Be sure to venture out to the gardens they are stunning and brings a whole new level to the palace. The garden grounds are huge so dedicate plenty of time to explore it all and enjoy the views of the city. Great shots of the Cathedral dome!!
