It was easy to get in - however, might not have needed a skip the line ticket when we were there over New Years - much of the year it might be crowded, but check - might just need a regular ticket. However, this made it easy and a guaranteed enjoyable experience.

Thanks to online booking I was able to choose day and time without standing in line at the ticket office. The Salone dei Cinquecento alone already immerses you in another dimension...😌 I'm sorry I couldn't book the guided tour to the secret quarters, next time I'll try to make it 👋

Despite the crowds, the time slots allow you not to queue. All the attendants really nice, except one really rude and arrogant blond lady. Maybe it was an off day.

The Medici princes chapel and the Michelangelo chapels were just awe inspiring! And it was just lovely to be greeted by the staff who were still friendly and nice after what must have been such a super busy tourist season. This is why we love Italy and keep coming back!

The Palazzo Vecchio in Firenze was not really a very exciting museum visit. The art was mediocre and the palace itself lacks good taste. I thought the halls and rooms were not really very overwhelming. I had a nice outing and it got me out of the apartment and into the city centre again, which is always nice. Purchasing the ticket via Headout was very straightforward and a very good service. Very satisfying.

Medici Chapels

Step back in time to 16th and 17th-century Florence with skip-the-line access to the Medici Chapels. This extension of the 15th-century church was built to honor the Medici family and the Dukes of Tuscany. Discover the crypt where several dukes and their wives are buried.

Visit Cappella dei Principi (Chapel of the Princes), known for its octagonal floor plan and a stunning cupola designed by Buontalenti. Don't miss the New Sacristy, which houses the tombs of Lorenzo and Giuliano de' Medici. Check out the sculptures of Day, Night, Dawn, and Dusk, adorning the Medici tombs as well as the walls of Michelangelo's secret room, which are covered by charcoal drawings attributed to Buonarroti.

Palazzo Vecchio

A visit to Palazzo Vecchio is a journey through three eras of history: Roman, Medieval, and Renaissance. Built in 1299 on the ruins of the Uberti Ghibelline towers, this palace has been Florence’s emblem of civil power for centuries. The Medici family called it their home for over 100 years.

Inside, explore Roman-inspired courtyards, admire intricate paintings, and marvel at sculptures of Florence’s great rulers and heroes. Wander through the stunning Hall of the Five Hundred, explore Francesco I de' Medici’s study, and admire frescoes, paintings, and sculptures by Renaissance masters like David Michelangelo, The Battle of Anghiari by Leonard Da Vinci, and Judith by Donatello.
