Overview
Opened in 1581, the Uffizi is one of the world's oldest museums, holding Renaissance masterpieces amassed over centuries by the Medici family. Highlights include Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Primavera, Leonardo da Vinci's Annunciation and Caravaggio's Medusa - the very essence of Italian Renaissance art. The Vasari Corridor links it to Pitti Palace, and the third-floor terrace offers fine views of the Ponte Vecchio and the Arno River. Admission about EUR 25 (online booking essential; free first Sunday of each month). 3-minute walk from Ponte Vecchio.
