Uffizi Gallery Guided Walking Tour
The Uffizi Gallery is a must-see if you visit Florence. Built in 1560 and known as the oldest museum in the world, it was designed by the famous Renaissance architect Giorgio Vasari. The Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo I de’ Medici, decided to reestablish the authority of the Medici family.
After eliminating most of his rivals, Cosimo I assigned an office to the others to "keep an eye on them." The name "Uffizi" actually means just that. After his death, his sons lost all interest in politics. His eldest son, Francesco I, brought his private collection of artworks into the building and made the Uffizi his private museum.
With this tour of the Uffizi, you will be able to quickly learn the history of some of the most precious masterpieces preserved in Florence.
At the end of the activity, take a break in the café on the terrace of the Uffizi Gallery. Enjoy the splendid view of the city, relax, and take the opportunity to take memorable photos.

The Uffizi Gallery in Florence is one of the most important and renowned art museums in the world, famous for housing a vast collection of Renaissance masterpieces. Founded in the 16th century by Francesco I de’ Medici, the gallery was originally conceived as a space for the city’s administrative offices but quickly transformed into one of Italy’s greatest cultural treasures. Among its more than 2,000 works, standout pieces include paintings by masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Raphael, and Caravaggio. The iconic *The Birth of Venus* by Botticelli and *The Annunciation* by Leonardo da Vinci are just some of the jewels that attract millions of visitors annually.
