The frescos are amazing , the whole palace is opulent . Inenjoyed the frescos and the costume section, also the little details on the doors, the arches, the chandeliers where astonishing in volume. Every wall is adorned with renaissance art there's a lovely chapel. The sculptures are plentiful too .

The gardens and palace were absolutely beautiful. We loved the peacefulness of the gardens — a perfect place to stroll and take in the atmosphere. The art throughout the palace was magnificent, with the ceilings being a highlight. Every staff member we spoke to was incredibly informative and eager to share the history and stories behind the place. We absolutely loved our visit!

Easy to book tickets on line, taxi from Florence main station was only 13 euros as I did not want to walk as I am 70. Same return re taxi. Easy exchange of on line tickets to actual tickets at pitti palace, breathtaking rooms in PP. A bit hot in gardens and could be better sign posted. Overall would highly recommend booking this way.

The venue is really interesting, both the building and the art. The audio guide only covers some of the first floor, and nothing of the second floor (the "modern" art) Some of the pieces described in the audio guide may not have been there -- I never found them. It took me awhile to figure out how the guide worked so I ended up backtracking to be able to look at a piece as it was being described. (In separate recordings, there is a room description, then there may be a separate description of one or more pieces before you go to the next room. Or you can swipe and advance to a new room. Some of the room names on the side were not what was in the museum which also confused me.)

We were blown away by the beauty of the palace and the incredible art collection. The audio guide made our visit so interesting, with short descriptions of each room and it's place in history, I can't recommend it enough. The Boboli Gardens are beautiful, easy to walk through, and give you a great view over Florence.

It was easy to purchase skip the line tickets through Headout and to exchange them for paper tickets at Pitti Palace. We were surprised once we got inside to find out we needed timed tickets to visit the royal flats and that we needed to return to the ticket office outside the palace. Not the fault of Headout. Just frustrating.

When I picked up my ticket, I was not warned at any point that it was not valid for the visit to the royal apartments. To see this, we had to return to the ticket office to pick up a ticket specifically for it (despite it being free access). Very poorly specified.

The museum visit was great. However, we had thought that the QR code was the actual ticket. So we had to go somewhere else from the entrance to the Uffizi to pick up the paper ticket. I actually wanted to avoid this, so I bought the tickets online beforehand. The office was difficult to find despite Google Maps. The Boboli Gardens are very run-down, overgrown and unkempt and not at all worth the entrance fee. A complete disappointment.

Competence and courtesy of the guide. Must improve your relationship with the ticket office and especially your online assistance, which currently does not solve problems. You need an operator who speaks more than just English for attractions in Italy!

Unfortunately the tour didn't include the royal apartments which I am convinced it said it did when I booked it. So we cancelled the tour while there with the guide and he got a refund on the tickets and you kindly refunded the tour. We appreciated it.

The gardens and palace were absolutely beautiful. We loved the peacefulness of the gardens — a perfect place to stroll and take in the atmosphere. The art throughout the palace was magnificent, with the ceilings being a highlight. Every staff member we spoke to was incredibly informative and eager to share the history and stories behind the place. We absolutely loved our visit!

Easy to book tickets on line, taxi from Florence main station was only 13 euros as I did not want to walk as I am 70. Same return re taxi. Easy exchange of on line tickets to actual tickets at pitti palace, breathtaking rooms in PP. A bit hot in gardens and could be better sign posted. Overall would highly recommend booking this way.

It was easy to purchase skip the line tickets through Headout and to exchange them for paper tickets at Pitti Palace. We were surprised once we got inside to find out we needed timed tickets to visit the royal flats and that we needed to return to the ticket office outside the palace. Not the fault of Headout. Just frustrating.

WE LIKED: UFFIZI GALLERY WE DIDN'T LIKE: VASARI CORIDOR - after reconstruction only empty white wall space (overpass) with no arts at the time. Sculptures/busta in Coridor wraped in plastic - prepared for upcoming exhibition been said. PITTI PALACE - inside exhibitions - other disappointment - presentation of art stucked in the past - all of beautiful crystal chandeliers and statues covered by visible layer of dust/dirt... We have to say that we like art - we visited many museums and palaces around the Europe but never saw anything like that... It is pity that we cannot upload any photos to our review :(

Palatine Gallery

Pass through the Antechambers of the Footmen and the Gallery of Statues, once an open portico with views of Ammannati’s courtyard, you'll arrive at the Castagnoli Room. Here, the Gallery divides into two sections: one leading to the former apartments of the Grand Duchess (right wing, rooms 4-11 and 16-18), and the other leading straight through the Hall of Music to the Grand Duke's quarters.

Antechambers and Gallery of Statues

Antechambers and Gallery of Statues

These are the entrance spaces leading to the Palatine Gallery, displaying classic 17th-century picture gallery designs. The walls are covered with paintings in the style of quadrerie, combining rich fresco decorations and original framed artworks. Unlike modern museums, there's no strict timeline here; instead, you get a taste of the personal preferences of the palace's collectors.

Quartiere del Volterrano

Quartiere del Volterrano

This section, known as the "Quartiere del Volterrano," consists of chambers once occupied by Grand Duchess Vittoria della Rovere. The rooms, including bedrooms, service areas, and private chapels, feature frescoed ceilings with scenes reflecting the duchess's devotion and moral virtues. Notable highlights include Baldassarre Franceschini's frescoes and Vittoria della Rovere's invaluable contribution to Florence's cultural heritage.

Grand Duke's Apartments

This section boasts the core works of the Palatine Gallery, starting from the Room of Prometheus. Embellished with frescoes, stuccoes, and reliefs celebrating the House of Medici, these rooms encase many famous works by Raphael, Botticelli, Filippo Lippi, Titian, and Caravaggio. Each room has its unique artistic experience, from mythological themes to Renaissance masterpieces.

Royal Apartments

The Royal Apartments

Continuing from the Palatine Gallery, the tour extends to the Royal Apartments, comprising fourteen magnificent rooms that once served as the residence of the Medici and Lorraine grand ducal families. The rooms poetically narrate the tale of the palace's history and evolution over time via their unique styles. Highlights include the Green Room, with frescoes by Giuseppe Castagnoli, and the Throne Room, decorated for King Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy.

Titian (Tiziano Vecellio) artwork

Titian (Tiziano Vecellio)

One of the most versatile and influential painters of the Italian Renaissance, Titian's works are known for their rich color palette and masterful use of light and shadow. His portraits and religious paintings are celebrated for their emotional depth and realism.

Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio)

A key figure of the High Renaissance, Raphael's paintings are characterized by their harmony, balance, and grace. Known for his Madonnas, portraits, and frescoes, Raphael's work epitomizes the ideals of classical beauty and perfection.

Peter Paul Rubens

Do I need separate tickets to visit Palatine Gallery?

No, you don't need a separate ticket, the access is included in your Pitti Palace tickets.

Why is Palatine Gallery significant?

The Palatine Gallery is significant due to its impressive collection of Renaissance and early Baroque paintings, including masterpieces by Raphael, Titian, Tintoretto, Caravaggio, and Rubens. The gallery is housed in the Pitti Palace, which was once the residence of the Medici family, the Habsburg-Lorraine family, and the House of Savoy, adding to its historical significance.

How much time should I dedicate to exploring Palatine Gallery?

The Palatine Gallery and the Royal Apartments together occupy 28 rooms, and it is recommended to allocate at least 1-2 hours to fully appreciate the art and the historical significance of the gallery.

Is there a limit to how many visitors can be inside the gallery?

While there is no particular number defined for maximum visitors inside the gallery, the management often regulates access during peak seasons when the palace sees a high surge of visitors. Considering the vast size of the gallery, it doesn’t happen very frequently, so we wouldn't recommend worrying much about it.

Are there any guided tours available for the gallery?

Yes, you can find guided tours for the Palatine Gallery and Pitti Palace. These tours can be arranged through authorized partners, such as Headout, and may include skip-the-line entry, a tour of the majestic Pitti Palace, and a tour through the beautiful Boboli Gardens.

Is there any specific time of the day when the gallery is less crowded?

The best bet for avoiding crowds is always the first two hours after the opening.

Is there a recommended route or order to follow when exploring the gallery?

The Palatine Gallery is arranged in a decorative manner, with paintings covering most of the surface of the walls following symmetrical patterns. A recommended path to follow would be to explore the 28 rooms in a sequential order, taking the time to appreciate the art and the historical significance of each room.

How does the Palatine Gallery's collection differ from traditional museums in terms of layout and presentation?

The Palatine Gallery's collection is presented in a elaborate manner, with paintings covering most of the surface of the walls following symmetrical patterns, and the gallery arrangement is enhanced by carved and gilded frames, aiming to amaze and impress visitors who entered these staterooms.

Is there any dress code for visiting?

While there are no hard rules outlining the specifics of what and what not to wear, it’s expected for visitors to dress modestly. Avoid wearing exposing clothes, offensive prints, and maybe wear comfortable shoes since a lot of walking is involved. 

How does the historical significance of the Palatine Gallery, tied to the Medici dynasty and subsequent ruling families, enhance the visitor experience?

The Palatine Gallery is located in the Pitti Palace, the former residence of the Grand Dukes of Tuscany (Medici and Lorraine) and of the Italian royal family. The historical significance of the gallery is backed up by the Royal Apartments, which are richly decorated with furniture and accessories from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, and the famous technique of commesso fiorentino (Florentine mosaic).

What additional attractions and experiences can visitors enjoy within the larger Pitti Palace complex after exploring the Palatine Gallery?

After exploring the Palatine Gallery, visitors can enjoy the Gallery of Modern Art, the Costume Gallery, the Treasury of the Grand Dukes (known as the Silver Museum), and the Boboli Gardens, which offer a magnificent view of both Florence and the Boboli Gardens, the park that surrounds the Florentine palace of the Medici.
