The Uffizi Gallery contains the most important, in some of the world's greatest art collection. This is also the world's oldest museum. Most tour books and online travel sites will urge you to ensure that Uffiizi access to any part as a Florence vacation, no matter how short-lived. Most of what can not tell you, or at least enough to emphasis that there is no pre-booking tickets, you may be unable to visit the Uffizi!
In April of 2005 my wife and I took a trip to Florence. We had of course planned on visiting the Uffizi Gallery and upon getting there we immediately tried to purchase tickets. Our calls were unfortunately not answered. Hotel reception had no better luck, and they informed us that our three day stay might not be long enough to even get our call answered. We went there in person but were confronted with long lines that did not seem to ever move. So we were forced to see what other attractions Florence had to offer us.
The second evening in the city we learned that we were in luck! Unfortunately, the tickets were only good for the following day, so to see the gallery we had to miss many of the other sights we had planned on seeing. The biggest lesson we learned on this trip in regards to seeing Florence is to book Uffizi Gallery tickets online well before ever leaving on your trip.
Tip 2 inside the Cathedral A miracle that can not miss the other is the cathedral of Florence. In fact, it is impossible to miss this magnificent architecture, because it led the city can be seen from almost everywhere.

View it from a more distant ring elevated, position. This was once the world's largest church, even now, nearly six centuries after the completion of which is the fourth largest. Florence has always been the biggest and the best, but what really unique is its cathedral all adhere to the dome or "cupola." When the Fillipo Brunelleschi bear the Renaissance architectural masterpiece, that such a dome is possible to anyone. The secret has lost a thousand years, but went to Rome, Brunelleschi solved by checking the dome of the ancient Temple of it.
As impressive as it is from the outside though, it has to be seen from the inside to be truly appreciated. You can climb it by means of the stairway inside the dome, between its inner and outer shells. From the top, the view of the Tuscan countryside is absolutely magnificent! Unfortunately the gallery was never finished, so you will have access only to looking towards the north and the west.
3 Palazzo Vecchio - David replication techniques Perhaps in the future of Florence's most famous landmark is the Palazzo Vecchio. Again, this is a worthy from the outside on the enjoyment of every aspect of the entry, to explore its fascinating, full of art, interior decoration construction. I Palazzo Vecchio technique is to look at a few minutes to spare no effort in pollution coloring the world's most famous statue of replication, Recognizing that, despite the original Michelangelo's David is safe within the copy of the Institute of the Arts where once stood the original??.
4 Arno River in the past prompted This technique is back from the city's busiest tourist attractions, and through the Lo Wu Old Bridge is the Arno River. In this piece of magic, and historic bridge may be more closely compared with the central outdoor plaza you have just left, but in each other's 100 meters packed with people, they have thin, you can explore the cuisine of the Boboli Gardens and the former walked the winding path to the Piazzo overlooking the beautiful Michelangelo in Florence and the surrounding areas of the Hill Station Palazzo Pitti.

Named after a nineteenth century tourist, it?s symptoms range from feeling faint to complete exhaustion. Tourists with this affliction are, like Stendhal before them, overcome by taking in the sights and beauty of Florence.
