What to expect
You'll enter the gallery via a dedicated entrance, then spend 90 minutes with your guide moving through rooms of Renaissance and later European paintings. Each room reveals another layer of the Medici collection. Your guide will unpack the stories and techniques behind the major works, giving context without rushing you past them. Expect crowds—it's Florence's top attraction—but your timed slot and guide help you navigate efficiently. The museum spans three floors connected by corridors, so there's steady walking involved, though no strenuous climbing.
