Description:

Follow in the footsteps of the Medici family as you walk along the impressive Vasari Corridor— the elevated passageway connecting Palazzo Vecchio with Palazzo Pitti. Learn more about the works of art hidden here and enjoy the view of the Arno River from the small windows of the corridor.

Once used by the Grand Dukes to move secretly between the town hall (Palazzo Vecchio) and the old residence of the royal family (Palazzo Pitti), the Vasari Corridor is today a separate museum administered by the Uffizi Gallery and its access is usually closed to the public.

Take advantage of your exclusive entrance and follow your guide along the royal passageway. Built in only 5 months by Giorgio Vasari, this charming corridor hosts a stunning collection of paintings, sculptures, and portraits from the 16th to the 20th century.

Marvel at the renowned series of self portraits by master painters, including Vasari and other Italian and foreign artists. The collection was started by Leopoldo de’ Medici in the 17th century and still receives artworks from contemporary artists to this day.
