The palace is really worth a visit, with beautiful paintings and a lovely view of the garden if you want to wander around, but be careful, it's uphill.

The frescos are amazing , the whole palace is opulent . Inenjoyed the frescos and the costume section, also the little details on the doors, the arches, the chandeliers where astonishing in volume. Every wall is adorned with renaissance art there's a lovely chapel. The sculptures are plentiful too .

Access was possible without any problems or waiting time. The Uffizi is also worth a second trip! The most relaxing part, however, were the gardens... with a wonderful view of the city.

Unfortunately the tour didn't include the royal apartments which I am convinced it said it did when I booked it. So we cancelled the tour while there with the guide and he got a refund on the tickets and you kindly refunded the tour. We appreciated it.

Palatine Gallery is amazing. Unforunately, even we were a small group, our guide was rushing us around quite quickly, thus we were not able to admire the beautiful gallery. Pitti Palace and Boboli Garden are also very beautiful and anyone can visit at their own pace.
