What people are saying:
One of the top attractions in Florence. Be sure to consider a visit here as it's full of different galleries.
Built in the 15th century by the Pitti family, the Palazzo Pitti houses one of the biggest art galleries in Florence. The building itself has housed a number of illustrious personages, including the Medici family, which bought it in the 16th century, Napoleon and the royal house of Italy. However, the king of Italy opened it to the public in 1919, since when it has housed a charming collection of art. Visit the Galleria Palatina to see works by Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian, Perugino and Peter Paul Rubens, all masters of Renaissance art. The museum also hosts silver pieces, modern art and a number of temporary exhibitions, which you can see in the White Room, or Sala Bianca.

Besides the beautiful gardens of the palace known as Boboli this palace walks you through all that is reflective of the time and it's opulence.
Pitti Palace was the residence of the Medici family. Inside there are museums and the magnificent Boboli garden
My favourite palazzo in Florence. If you're an art fan, do not skip the art galleries, there are some nice treats.Come walking from Uffizi, cross the postcard Ponte Vecchio, walk until you get to the palazzo. Afterwards have a stroll in the gardens, then take the bus back to the other river bank. There is one close to the palazzo gates that leaves you on Santa Croce.
When I'm overwhelmed by paintings and sculpture, I head to the Costume Gallery here, which displays 300 years of marvelous Italian creations--from 18th century principessa gowns to outrageously chic 1950s dresses.
