Mistake meant to give 3. Lady wasn't pleasant who gave us tickets. Also, the entrance to the tower inside that we wanted to climb up to see the view was blocked off and we couldn't go up the steps. Palace was very nice otherwise.

Oui rapide avec la personne qui attend dehors par contre l'audioguide n'est pas terrible. Répétition de certaines phrases et pas en phase avec le parcours. Pas aussi intuitif que les audio guides officiels.

If there’s one place you should visit in Florence right now, it’s the Palazzo Vecchio. Choose it over the Palazzo Pitti, whose gardens are open but very limited in access because they’re undergoing major renovations!

Amazing experience, the halls are impressive. Seeing Dante's death Mask was a plus. This is one of the most impressive buildings we've ever visites. The staff is helpful too. A must see!

The ticket pickup and audio guide worked perfectly. The only issue was that we were short on time. Headout should include a note in the final admission times stating that the Palazzo closes at 5:00 PM and visitors are asked to leave as early as 4:30 PM!

Bypass ticket queues to enter the townhall-turned-museum at your chosen time slot.

Leisurely explore the epicenter of Florentine republic at the Hall of the Five Hundred and the Medici apartments on the upper floors.

Upgrade your experience to add a multilingual audio guide and get historically-rich commentaries on the museum’s exhibits in your preferred language.

You can also opt for an English guided tour and get an expert’s deeper insights into the palace’s frescoed chambers and gilded courtyards.
