uffizi.it

Closed in 2016 to allow it to be brought up to safety standards, it has been fully restored and today is accessible again with a special ticket: enter through the Uffizi, walk over Ponte Vecchio and exit through the Boboli Gardens. About 750 metres long, it was built by architect Giorgio Vasari in 1565: the Medici family used it to reach Palazzo Vecchio from Pitti Palace undisturbed and without running risks to their safety. Entrance to the Uffizi two hours before access to the Vasari Corridor. The Vasari Corridor follows the same closing days as the Uffizi (info ). The Vasari Corridor is open on special open days when those days do not coincide with a Monday. The entrance to the Vasari Corridor is at the Room D19 Meeting Point (Venetian small Chapel) on the first floor of the Uffizi. Visitors must show up at the Meeting Point 5 minutes before their Corridor entry time slot. Failure to do so will entail loss of the right to enter the Corridor. The Vasari Corridor is open upon reservation in compliance with the availability of the chosen time slot on ‘free admission’ or special open days when those days do not coincide with a Monday. Single ticket for the Uffizi, including the admission to the Vasari Corridor. Nominative ticket, personal and non-transferable, with mandatory reservation, non-refundable.
