Galleria degli Uffizi is Florence's largest and most famous gallery. There are works here from not only the Florentine and Tuscan school, but from movements all over Italy and Europe – and that’s not to mention the Roman sculptures in the museum corridors.

Galleria degli Uffizi is divided principally into two wings, the East Gallery and the West Gallery, with a combined total of 45 rooms, all filled to the gills with priceless art collections. And then there's Corridoio Vasariano, or Vasari's Corridor, built by Vasari to link the Palazzo Vecchio to the Palazzo Pitti through the Uffizi, which has its own art surprises.
