Between the monumental churches, Renaissance fountains, and picturesque gardens, Florence is a real open-air museum. Yet, one can’t say to have properly seen the city without paying a visit to the Uffizi Gallery. The gallery includes pieces from all of the renewed Italian Middle Age and Renaissance Age artists such as Giotto, Botticelli, Leonardo, Raffaello, Michelangelo, and Caravaggio, as well as masterpieces by other European artists. Enter the Uffizi Gallery for a chance to see the real-life version of your Art History book. In the Gallery are featured among some of the most iconic paintings in the world, such as “The Birth of Venus” by Sandro Botticelli, the “Doni Tondo” or “Doni Madonna” by Michelangelo, or “Medusa” by Caravaggio. The gallery is open every day except for Monday and it is highly recommended to reserve a ticket in advance to avoid long queues. Find your tickets at https://www.uffizi.it/en/tickets! Where to eat after visiting the Uffizi Gallery: You walked through the aisles of the Uffizi and now you are getting tired and justifiably hungry. If you are looking to grab lunch and you want to experience some typical Tuscan street food, the ‘Ino sandwich shop Via Dei Gergofili is the place to go! The informal restaurant is located between Piazza Della Signoria and Ponte Vecchio, just on the way to your next stop. You will be amazed by the quality and wide choice of typical Italian sandwiches, or “panini”. Just make your choice, ask for the best wine to go with your sandwich and you are good to go!
