Best time to visit the Uffizi Gallery

Weekday vs Weekend

#
  • Fridays or Thursdays are quieter compared to other weekdays, allowing you to enjoy the vast collection of artworks in a more relaxed setting.
  • The Uffizi Gallery is closed on Mondays, causing an influx of visitors to the Uffizi on Tuesdays as it is one of the first open days of the week for art enthusiasts and tourists to visit.
  • Weekends are busier, with Saturdays and Sundays seeing the highest number of visitors. The first Sunday of each month offers free admission, leading to exceptionally long lines and crowded conditions. Start your visit early, before 1am or after 4pm to beat the crowds.

Peak season vs low season

#
  • Florence gets the most visitors between May and September when the temperatures touch the sweet spot, 24°C. This period attracts large crowds to the city and the Uffizi Gallery. For a more relaxed experience, avoiding the peak season is advisable.
  • The low season, from November to March, generally sees fewer tourists. However, December can be busy due to holiday festivities in Europe.
