Detailed Description
Great news for 2025: after 8 years the world famous Vasari Corridor reopens to the public!
Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy a unique experience during your visit to Florence. This extraordinary elevated passageway of about 750 metres was designed by architect Giorgio Vasari in 1565, commissioned by Cosimo I de Medici. With its route connecting Palazzo Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery, Ponte Vecchio and up to Palazzo Pitti, the Vasari Corridor allowed the rulers of the time to move freely and safely, avoiding the dangers of the city below. Today, with its reopening, you will have the opportunity to relive this historic experience in a completely new way.
The adventure will begin inside the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most famous and celebrated museums in the world. Here, your fully licensed guide will lead you through a priceless collection of Renaissance art, with masterpieces by iconic painters such as Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli and Michelangelo, to name but a few. Every room, every painting and sculpture contains fascinating stories and details that unveil the art and culture of the Italian Renaissance.
After exploring the Uffizi Gallery, your experience will continue with the Vasari Corridor. Please note that, due to museum regulations, the guide will not be able to provide explanations inside the Corridor. However, you will have the privilege of admiring ancient and modern Florence from above. Walking along the Corridor, you will be able to take in breathtaking panoramic views of Ponte Vecchio, the Arno River and the Oltrarno district. It will be like stepping back in time, reliving the thrill of moving through the same places and in such an exclusive setting that was once reserved only for royal members as the Medici family. The experience will end by passing through the door located next to the suggestive Grotta del Buontalenti, inside the marvellous Boboli Gardens. From here, together with your guide, you will have the opportunity to retrace the Vasari Corridor by observing it from the outside, appreciating the architectural details such as the passage around the Mannelli Tower.
This tour will not only allow you to enjoy spectacular views, but will also offer you an intense immersion in history and art, making your visit to Florence truly unforgettable. Don't miss the opportunity to combine culture, art and history in one unforgettable experience!
