the place is spectacular, but on the day of my visit there was an external event and I almost missed one of the best rooms in the museum (hall of 500).

My guide Mr. Hassan was very nice and helpful I had a great time thanks to him. The place was amazing and worth the visit. I only needed an hour to see it all except for the tower.

All great. The guide was knowledgeable, spoke great English, was gracious to all. The secret Passage to secret rooms with secret compartments was a big surprise. The great hall of 500 was also unexpected. Great Art of the famous did not disappoint. The structural elements of the roof and suspended ceiling are awe inspiring

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.

Good experience, Florence full of art. Old palace beautiful but there are more beautiful monuments in the city. Only flaw in the ticket tour is that audio guide would have been included but at the appropriate time the headout app did not give it to me. Of the rest efficient tour packages.

Your experience

Palazzo Vecchio, which stands majestically on Florence skyline, is one of the most recognized symbols of the city. Built during the Middle-Ages, it still preserves the austere architecture of the fourteenth century, with its crenellated top and the imposing Arnolfo’s Tower.

The indoor parts of the building, beautifully renovated in the '500 when the Palace became the house of Medici, are instead typically Renaissance and hold priceless treasures and works of art. In the sumptuous halls and the private apartments of the family, worked the greatest artists of the period. Visiting the palace means to stroll among the wonders of Renaissance and retrace its history, discovering also the secrets and tales linked to the powerful Medici family.

The elegant courtyard by Michelozzo, welcomes you at the beginning of a visit that will enable you to admire the famous and beautiful “Hall of the 500”, the charming and intimate study of Francesco I de’ Medici, the beautiful private apartments of Eleonora of Toledo and Cosimo I de’ Medici and the sumptuous and stunning boardrooms, in an incredible series of frescoes, paintings, decorations and statues of the greatest Renaissance artists as Michelangelo, Donatello, Verrocchio, Vasari, Ghirlandaio and Bronzino, to mention a few.
