About
Szybkie fakty: Climb the crenelated tower and the terracotta roofs and winding streets unfold like a living map, offering a dizzying panorama that makes you want to linger. Step into the great hall and you'll find lavish frescoes, secret passages once used by rulers, and a famous sculpted hero's replica that still halts visitors with its presence.
Najważniejsze atrakcje: A narrow, enclosed corridor about one kilometer long was built in 1565 by Giorgio Vasari so Cosimo I de' Medici could stroll from his palace to his other residence unseen, and the tiny, high windows still frame the glitter of the river and the shops clustered on the medieval bridge below. The tiny studiolo made for Francesco I measures barely a few square meters, lined with inlaid wood cabinets and odd alchemical jars, and when the door creaks open you catch the warm, resinous scent of 16th-century varnish and the faint, lingering tang of old metal.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the Arnolfo Tower and many rooms involve stairs and uneven floors.
- Book a timed ticket online to skip the main queue, especially in summer and during festivals.
- Start with the Hall of Five Hundred before the crowds arrive, then climb the tower for panoramic photos later.
- Respect restricted areas and keep camera flash off in frescoed rooms to protect the art and avoid staff attention.
