“My first visit to the Uffizi Gallery – a spontaneous detour part of a game of hooky I played from Rome – ended up being a pivotal moment for my future of studying art history in Florence. At this incredible Florence museum I was transported right into the pages of my art history textbook. And I wanted to stay forever.”
“During my last visit, which took place on a Saturday in early February (a time when Florence is less overrun with tourists), I entered the museum at 9 AM with no waiting in line. The number of visitors inside was high but not unbearable.”
