The Uffizi gallery! A gallery with loads of stunning art works! It was crowded during the time I visit, around mid December, it was Italian public holiday, locals are travelling between cities. Please be prepared to stay in the gallery for more than 2 hours, or even 3. Me and my friend are not expert in art, at the very beginning we were so excited and we feel so great in such beautiful place and all world known art pieces are right in front of us, however half way through, we felt really stuffy in the gallery and a bit tired to keep walking. So reminded that be prepared to walk for long hours and take your time to sit down and rest before finishing the whole tour!

One Of the most visited museums in the world

If visiting Florence, do yourself a favor and visit this beautiful museum! 🎫 Tickets: Book in advance to make sure you get one. I paid 44€ online. Pick up your ticket at gate 3 then make your way to gate 1. ⏰ Recommended time: Go in the morning! I was there at 10 and it was very busy. I suggest you go there when it opens, so you can have a more enjoyable experience. I walked around for 2.5 hours, but you could easily stay another 3 to explore everything much more in depth. There’s a cafe and a terrace upstairs (super busy), but it’s definitely good to take a break after you’re done the first part of the visit. #florence #italy #museum #art #solotravel

We took the 9959 train from Milan to Florence (Firenze Santa Maria Novella) for about an hour and a half, and walked about 15 minutes to the Residence Hilda hotel. The hotel is very close to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, and there is a Chinese restaurant downstairs. The famous old lady's shop is also on the same street, and there are many characteristic small shops near the old bridge. Due to time constraints, we chose to climb the bell tower of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and visit the Uffizi Gallery, which has many masterpieces such as Giotto, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Dürer, Rembrandt, Rubens, and Caravaggio.

The Galleria degli Uffizi, located in Piazza della Signoria, is a large palace-like building that was built in 1560 and was not completed until 1581. It is now one of the most famous art museums in Europe and the world. There are a large number of rare treasures in the collection, and it is also a place that many art lovers yearn for. The two most successful paintings by the Florentineist artist Sandro Botticelli in the early Renaissance: "The Birth of Venus" and "Spring" are all collected in the Uffizi Gallery. "Spring" was created in 1477. It was written by Botticelli with the poet Polizio and the long poem of Venus, which was created by Medici Villa. The artist used his rich imagination and superb skills to bring ancient mythological stories to life. At the top right of the picture, Fengshen embraces the spring god, and the spring god embraces the flower god. The flower god who spreads the flowers scatters the flowers to the earth; Venus stands in the middle of the picture, and the goddess cupid hands the angel of love flying on her head. On the right side of Venus is the three beautiful gods who danced hand in hand and symbolized "Gorgeous", "Shu Shu" and "Happy". On the far left of the picture is the special envoy of the main god Zeus, Mercury. The whole painting has smooth lines, bright colors and a pleasant atmosphere.
