Florence's Greatest Art Collection

The first day you arrive in Florence, check into your hotel, then leave straight away to the Uffizi. Order your tickets for a few days later (thus avoiding massive lines) and explore other Florentine treasures while you wait in anticipation for a great life event. The Uffizi is simply the best Art Gallery/Museum you can visit. It has none of the pomp or pretense of the Louvre. Rather, it's like walking through a partly run down palace, exploring rooms packed full with the greatest Italian and other European art works in existence. Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Caravaggio, Verrocchio, the list goes on and on. You will notice organised tour groups that race through the Uffizi looking at around five of the most famous works. Don't do this! Take your time, and look at everything. You will be amazed! Look at the really famous works just after the tour groups have been called away. You'll have great access to the world's greatest works you thought unimaginable. A few hours later, after your finished you exceptional walk through the Uffizi, spend some time in the exceptional book, print, and jewelery store. A truly inspirational experience!
