Florence Palazzo Pitti Guided Tour

This guided tour of the Pitti Palace in Florence is an ideal choice for those who wish to discover one of the great symbols of the Florentine Renaissance in a comfortable and well-contextualised way. The tour focuses on the Palatine Gallery, the former artistic heart of the Medici residence, where the paintings are displayed in lavishly decorated rooms, just as they were presented in the original private collections.

Accompanied by an official guide, you’ll explore an exceptional series of rooms showcasing works by some of the great European masters from the 15th to the 17th centuries. Among them you’ll find paintings by Botticelli, Titian, Rubens and Caravaggio, set within a richly decorated environment that makes the visit a truly comprehensive artistic experience.

One of the tour’s most special highlights is the Planetary Rooms, designed by Pietro da Cortona, where Baroque frescoes and stucco work create a spectacular backdrop for the collection of paintings. The tour also includes the Royal Apartments, which served as the residence of the King of Italy and add an extra historical dimension to the experience.

The tour lasts approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes and includes a radio guide system so you can follow the commentary comfortably. Once the guided tour has finished, you’ll have some free time to return to the rooms or works you’d like to view at a more leisurely pace – which is very useful if you want to enjoy the palace at your own pace after the tour.
