The best museum/tourist attraction in Florence! I loved the room of 500 and the hidden room! Read a bit of information in advance so you can fully enjoy the visit & feel the experience

Mandar Pathak

During summer it's open till 11pm. You can access the lower level of the tower from 9 to 11 for €2 more. The awesome views of the Duomo are absolutely worth it!

Murat

So historical, cultural and very impressive. Don't miss it. One of the most highly rated tourist attraction . So central and very close to many other interesting and important sites.

Nora Worawan

Hello David. Here you can see the imitation statue of David if you can’t see the real one. This area is buzzed with life and museums

Marcela Avila

History about the city , it's rulers, and power. I recommend to book a tour and climb up the tower to get a nice view of Firenze!

Nick M

Go to the tower during sunset then wait 15 mins for this view - stunning. You can buy tower only tickets for EUR 10.

Jenn Hwang

Do the tower climb for a great view of the Duomo (without the crowds!). The guided tours - ours was in English - are really interesting and make the place come to life.

Maria Beliakova

You can buy a simple ticket to visit the roof with a nice view to the city & Cattedrale (rate is 8 euro for adult).

Relief for tired parents: This spectacular mansion has kids-only programs like tours that bring the court of the Medici family to life and lessons in fresco painting . - Green Guide Editor

Lauren Cunningham

A great option for a sight to see in the evening. It stays open later than most other sights and offers a chance to see a lot of Vasari 's works.

Martin Knittel

Gorgeous & and a 'must' visit when in Florence. Magnificent view from the Tower , climb it!

Teodor Jernsäther

A really cool architectural Palazzo, which is still home of local politics. The "hall of five hundred" and the tower are the best parts!

Annika Olofsson

I recommend to visit it at the evening - there could be only a few people along with you, more time to spend, charming atmosphere, splendid views to evening Florence.

Di Kadyrova

Beautiful palazzo of the Medicis. We had to skip the tower as there was a line even for Firenzecard

Visit Tuscany

Step inside this place of government! The frescoed courtyard 's free; the museum upstairs is worth a visit (open late , too). Check out paintings by Vasari & the luscious Chapel of Eleonora by Bronzino .

Caro brown

One of the very few museums that opens until midnight in Florence. Climb up the tower for a fantastic view of the duomo.

Bogdan Nikolić

Great Museum ! Lots of historical facts and rooms to be learned and seen.

Karolina Prończuk

The best time to visit is in the evening. There is no people and it's less hot+ night and live music on the square are making awesome atmosphere.

Visit Tuscany

Michelangelo lived here for 5 years, until Lorenzo The Magnificent’s death. Inside there's "The Genius of Victory”.

An impressive town hall , the museum is open until midnight, the square offers much entertainment and great atmosphere.

Podere il Pino

This massive, Romanesque, crenellated fortress-palace is among the most impressive town halls of Tuscany . In front of the copy of David statue and the gallery of statues in adjacent Loggia dei Lanzi.

Palace of the Medici family once, it is a city hall nowadays. You can enter for free to the courtyards .

The museum is open until midnight and you can go in until 23h. Try to go late so you beat the huge lines during the day!

Kelsey L

Go for the views ! You can see the Duomo and Santa Croce.The 400 step climb is very manageable.

Maaike Van Liefde

Great guided tours for only € 2 extra! The guided tours that visit the secret rooms are mostly in the morning.

Cassius P

Really interesting visit! Pay extra and get the audio guide for great experience!

Entrance from “Cortile della Dogana”. The whole palace is accessible, with the exception of mezzanine and other rooms dedicated to educational activities. Bathroom accessible Read more

Marisa C

Beautiful frescoes and statues in the many rooms of the palace . Always look up!

Christian Norton

I was expecting this to be more impressive than it was. After seeing the best of Rome and Florence this didn't stand up. See it from the outside and maybe don't go in if you're pressed for time.

Freya Middleton

Don't miss seeing the study of the Grand Duke Francesco I where he conducted his scientific, natural and alchemical studies and experiments - in secret from the court

Tomfoolery

Open late during summer (till 11pm), it's worth going then to avoid the crowds

Krzÿsztof

Also open late in the evening (up until midnight), which is rare in Florence. Worth checking out.
