The museum takes place through the daily life of the Grand Dukes of the Medici family, from Cosimo I to the last descendants (early 700s), Ferdinando, Gian Gastone and in the end Anna Maria Luisa also called the Electress Palatine to whom the museum is dedicated.
In addition to the civic and political function of the rooms, the museum also houses a private collection of paintings, ancient statues, Florentine furniture and mosaics of great beauty and historical importance. Not to mention the frescoes that decorate the ceilings and walls.
Main attractions of the building:
- Galleria Palatina
- Real apartments
- Gallery of Modern Art
- Treasure of the Grand Dukes
- Museum of Fashion and Costume
At the end of the guided tour of the Pitti Palace, the guide will give you the entrance to the Boboli Gardens

Amazing tour guide who spent over two and a half hours with us in the Pitti Palace. She was very knowledgeable and shared her appreciation of the most important works with us in a way that really helped us understand and appreciate the art too! Quite delighted with the tour and highly recommend the private/semi private tour.

Our guide Camila was fabulous and as a student of the arts pursuing her doctorate she was very knowledgeable and informative along with being enthusiastic and entertaining!!
The palace was beautiful and the gardens were fabulous (even though we were to early for the wisteria blossoms) but nothing topped the fabulous views of Florence.
Having a drink at the cafe overlooking the city was magical!

Martina was awesome - loved that she showed us the masterpieces of the Pitti Palace and was very knowledgeable about the artists. Great pacing for such a large place and it wasn’t overwhelming. Following the Vasari Corridor from their offices was pretty amazing!

Very knowledgable guide, great stories about the museum and paintings. Not many people visit the museum and gardens so you can enjoy this experience at leisure.

Our guide, MariaChristina, was great. She had great knowledge of the history, art and culture but it was just right for first time visitors to Italy, not overwhelming. Amazing how much we covered in about 90 minutes and then we were free to explore Boboli and Bardini gardens on our own. Highly recommend.

My guide was on time and provided lots of details and history of the palace and its art, taking me room by room and educating me as to the significance of the rooms and the art within. He was polite, his English was excellent and he left me with a better appreciation of the Pitti Palace and its place in the history of Florence.

Book a guide for this event! Alessandra was fantastic. She made sure we saw the most important works in this beautiful palace - we would have missed so many on our own. If you are a little bored with art Galleries, this is the perfect tour. You can see all the great masters of Italy is the setting of where the Medici lived. The Gardens (more like a park) give you a nice outdoor activity as well. And stop at the charming cafe for that delicious Italian coffee. Perfect!!

What a wonderful tour. Our guide, Leonardo was amazing. Unfortunately we were not able to go into the boboli gardens due to weather but tour company wasted no time in refunding that portion of the ticket. Highly recommend this tour.
