No fuss-quick access🤸, full of ever-changing history, Art through the ages..very impressive 👏. The gardens are splendid although a lot of building 👷♂️ work going on. Anyhoo overall thoroughly enjoyable few hours. Recommended.
The on-site service and helpfulness were great: we arrived too late, but were able to rebook our tickets for the next day. The on-site staff were very helpful. They immediately stepped in to ensure we got new tickets. The combination was just right for Florence.
Lots to see and easy to navigate your way around. We went mostly for the costume display, but the buildings and garden walk was also great. Take your time, go early to avoid heat and crowds.
It was very easy to get in with the electronic ticket. The audio guide’s explanations were very thorough and easy to understand.
The palace is very large, and sometimes it’s hard to tell which way to go based on the audio guide’s instructions.
I wasn’t able to enter the royal apartments because, even though admission was free, I had to pick up another ticket, and that hadn’t been made clear beforehand.
Otherwise, everything was perfect.
Highly recommended!
We went early; there weren't many tourists, so we were able to take our time admiring all the paintings and the palace's beautiful rooms. We weren't able to get into the gardens because the entrances were under maintenance.
Avoid the Group tours by getting there early preferably 08:15 when the doors open. Go straight to the top floor for the modern art galleries. I managed to walk though these rooms practically on my own as everyone seemed to cram into the palace rooms on the first floor, which are worth a walk though.
There are very little plaques to give content and history. Seems that they want you to purchase the audio tour as well. The next best thing about the palace are the gardens although much seemed to be draped in scaffolding for renovation. What with that and the palace treasure rooms being closed, I feel that this should have been reflected in the ticket price.
Be very aware that every church, museum, palace and gallery has a price to get in so choose wisely.
