Overview & Visitor Introduction
The Uffizi is Florence's most-visited museum, holding one of the world's great collections of Italian Renaissance painting — Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Primavera, works by Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael among them.
Standard admission is €25 (same-day purchase) or €29 (advance purchase) — unlike some other Florence museums, the Uffizi's current site does not itemize a separate reservation fee; the price difference simply reflects when you buy.
History & Significance
Built between 1560 and 1581 as government offices ('uffizi' means 'offices') for Cosimo I de' Medici, the building was converted to display the Medici family's art collection and opened to visitors in 1765, making it one of the oldest public museums in the world.
Its collection grew through Medici and later state acquisitions into the world-renowned holding of Renaissance masterpieces it is today, spanning the Gothic period through the 18th century.
What to See: Top Highlights
Botticelli's Birth of Venus & Primavera
The gallery's two most iconic works, both in the same dedicated room.
Leonardo, Michelangelo & Raphael
Major works by all three High Renaissance masters, alongside deep holdings of earlier Florentine painting.
Vasari Corridor
An elevated passageway connecting the Uffizi to Palazzo Pitti — accessible only via a specific add-on ticket, not standard admission.

Pass Compatibility
Compare Florence PassesIncluded on Firenze Card (mandatory free reservation), Turbopass's Florence City Pass (pre-booked for you) and Flex Pass (voucher pickup required in person), and as the mandatory first stop of the Uffizi Passepartout combined ticket with Palazzo Pitti and Boboli Gardens.
Firenze Card
Included. You must reserve your entry time directly with the official provider. One-time entry only, per the card's one-entry-per-museum rule.
Florence City Pass
Included. The pass provider pre-books your entry ticket at checkout.
Florence Flex Pass
Optional (selectable attraction). Counts as one of your chosen attractions. A materially more friction-heavy process than the City Pass's direct pre-booked reservation for the same attraction — do not present the two Turbopass products as identical in this respect.
Passepartout 5 Days
Included. You must reserve your entry time directly with the official provider.
