People Also Ask
Q:How much does it cost to visit Pitti Palace in 2024?
A:

Pitti Palace tickets currently cost €10, which grants access to all Palazzo Pitti collections, including the Palatine Gallery, Gallery of Modern Art, Museum of Costume and Fashion, Treasury of the Grand Dukes, Museum of Russian Icons, and Palatine Chapel. Combined tickets for Pitti Palace and the adjacent Boboli Gardens currently cost €14. Audio guides are available for €6.

Q:What is special about Palazzo Pitti?
A:

One of the most imposing Renaissance palaces in Florence, Palazzo Pitti is a standout for its history as the former residence of the Medici dynasty. Today its ornately furnished and decorated interiors house countless works of art, while the famed Boboli Gardens stretch out behind the palazzo.

Q:What happened to the Pitti family?
A:

Pitti Palace is named after Luca Pitti, a Florentine merchant who commissioned the palace in the 15th century. Financial troubles forced the Pitti family to halt construction on the project, and it was eventually purchased, expanded, and finished by the rival Medici family a century later.

Q:How much time do you need at Pitti Palace?
A:

You’ll need at least two to three hours to touch on Palazzo Pitti’s top collections, including the Palatine Gallery and Imperial and Royal Apartments. You could easily spend a full day visiting those highlights plus the Treasury of the Grand Dukes, Museum of Costume and Fashion, Gallery of Modern Art, and Museum of Russian Icons.

Q:What is the difference between the Uffizi and the Pitti Palace?
A:

The Uffizi Gallery and Pitti Palace are both linked to the Medici dynasty. The Uffizi Gallery was built in the 16th century to house the family’s administrative and legal offices, while Pitti Palace across the Arno River was purchased around the same time for their residence. Both are now used as public museums.

Q:What should I not miss in Pitti Palace?
A:

The most important collection in Pitti Palace is the Palatine Gallery, which houses Renaissance works by artists including Raphael, Titian, and Rubens. The sumptuous Imperial and Royal Apartments are also worth a visit to take in the lavish furnishings and decorations before moving on to the grand Boboli Gardens adjacent to the palace.

Q:Is there a dress code for the Pitti Palace?
A:

No, Pitti Palace is not a sacred site so there is no dress code to enter. Opt for comfortable clothes and shoes to explore the vast complex of museums, collections, and apartments on foot. In addition, bring sunblock or an umbrella to take on the elements in the palace’s Boboli Gardens.
