Uffitzi Museum combo ticket

It looks like some parts of the palace are currently closed for renovations but the palace is a very large place so unless you have a real affection for the Imperial and Royal Apartments you can visit without missing too much. This isn't uncommon - when we were last there an permanent exhibit my wife wanted to see was off because a visiting art exhibit had taken that space instead.

If you have any hesitation you can pass on the combo ticket and buy tickets for the Palace and/or the Gardens when you're there. I doubt either of those will sell out and be unavailable when you decide to go.

There is so much to see in Florence you're more likely to run out of time and energy rather than things to see.
Have a great trip,

Also the other palace.

Can you explain what "other" palace you're referring to? There is only one palace, the Pitti, included in the combo ticket, and only the section with the royal apartments is closed for restoration. There is no word on a re-opening date for that one. The other 4 museums in the palace, the extensive collections of Palatine Gallery, Treasury of the Grand Dukes, Museum of Russian Icons/Palatine Chapel, Gallery of Modern Art and the Museum of Costume and Fashion are all open.

I guess I'd say to go only if you really like art, and understand that the Palatine collection is displayed as originally hung: sometimes so many to a room that it can be visually overwhelming, as I recall, and not particularly well lit. There are some very valuable works by some big names, though, and lots of lavishly frescoed ceilings if you like that sort of thing. I wouldn't try to do this one on the same day as the Uffizi lest you overdose (!) on art. The recently reopened Costume and Fashion museum might be of interest?

Thank you for your replies.

I thought there was another place listed in the combo pass. I have to look it up.
What would be the 5 most important places to visit in Florence? Of course the 'David' and the Uffizi gallery. We will be there 4 days. We could even take a side trip, but maybe not with so much in Florence to see. We both do love art.
