My second day in Florence I planned on getting up early to beat the long queues at the Uffizi Gallery (Galleria Degli Uffizi) which has the largest collection of Renaissance art in Italy. But I found it hard to get out of bed & didn’t end up getting there until 9:30, & expected a huge line up. But there wasn’t one, & I walked straight in without having to wait at all. I spent 4 hours at the Uffizi that day. So much to take in by an incredible range of legendary artists. Long halls lined with numerous statues. Room after room filled with paintings & more statues. I was enthralled by it all. It’s a must see.
And outside the gallery was a piazza with a variety of statues where people gathered for a chat. It all adds to the wonderful ambience of Florence.
