What to expect

Uffizi Gallery

Home to Renaissance art works by greats like Michelangelo and Caravaggio, the gallery houses treasure trove of paintings including Da Vinci’s ‘The Annunciation’ and Fabriano’s ‘The Adoration of the Magi’ among others.

Features

• Expansive corridors featuring marble busts

• Renaissance masterpieces like Botitcelli's 'Birth of Venus', Caravaggio's 'Medusa'

• Sculptures, like Michelangelo's 'Doni Tondo' and Bandinelli's 'Laocoon and Sons'

• Greek and Roman sculptures

• Diverse collections of artworks spanning the Mannerist and Baroque styles

Basilica Santa Croce

Visit Santa Basilica Croce to explore the cloisters (courtyards) and the Pazzi Chapel. Access the tombs of great minds such as Galileo Galilei and admire the stunning frescoes of Gaddi and Giotto: a visual treat in the purest sense.

Features

• Stunning design and architecture — featuring a Gothic and Mannerist style

• Pazzi Chapel — located within the first cloister, it is one of the earliest prototypes of Renaissance architecture

• Old Sacristy — room adjacent to the church where liturgical items are stored and where members prepare themselves for service

• Last Supper — Vasari's stunning fresco on Basilica Croce's ceiling

• Sala del Pozzo — The old well room beside the Sacristy, it consists the niche that once contained a wash basin and a well.

Walk through 90+ rooms of the Uffizi at your own pace, from Cimabue's earliest panel paintings through to Botticelli, Leonardo, and Caravaggio, the collection follows the full arc of the Renaissance in sequence.
Cross the 500 metres to Santa Croce and skip the ticket counter entirely. The full complex is yours: basilica, chapels, cloisters, crypt, and museum, with nothing extra to pay at any point inside.
In the Bardi and Peruzzi Chapels, Giotto painted the figures of St Francis and St John with a naturalism that had not existed in Western art before. These frescoes are the starting point of everything the Uffizi later brought to its peak.
The tombs of Michelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli are set into the nave walls. Each monument was designed in a different century — Galileo's was not erected until 95 years after his death.
Two sites most visitors split across separate days. This ticket is the reason to do both in one.
