A private tour combining the Uffizi Gallery with the elevated Vasari Corridor, the once-private passageway once used by the Medici family. Gain access to the newly reopened Vasari Corridor beginning inside the Uffizi Gallery, with direct passage between the two avoiding crowds, plus expert insight into the Medici legacy and Renaissance masterworks.
This passage is real, not legend: the Vasari Corridor is a fully enclosed, elevated walkway more than 700 meters long, designed in 1565 by Giorgio Vasari and built in just six months so that Duke Cosimo I could use his son Francesco's wedding to Joanna of Austria as cover for its hasty construction. It runs directly above the Ponte Vecchio, connecting the Uffizi to the Pitti Palace, and for centuries it was so exclusively reserved for the Medici family that not even their own household staff were allowed to use it.
That exclusivity lasted an extraordinarily long time by any standard: the corridor was closed to the public outright from 2016 for a lengthy restoration, and the main stretch — from the Uffizi all the way to the Boboli Gardens — only reopened to ordinary visitors in December 2024, the first time in the structure's roughly 460-year history that regular people, rather than Grand Dukes and their guests, have been able to walk its length.
The Uffizi end of this tour tells a parallel story of privilege turning public: Vasari began building the Uffizi itself in 1560 as consolidated government offices for Cosimo I, and only later did its top floor become a private gallery for the Medici's own art collection and invited guests — the same instinct for controlled, exclusive access that produced the corridor overhead.
