The Medici Palace in Florence was fascinating to visit. Its history, architecture, and artistic details capture the essence of Renaissance Florence. Walking through its halls feels like stepping back in time — elegant, powerful, and full of cultural charm.
The Palazzo Medici Riccardi, formerly the ancestral castle of the Medici family, is the first early Renaissance building erected in Florence. This landmark is located near the Piazza del Duomo. The palace became an architectural model for similar buildings later, becoming a classic. And the history of one of Florence's most famous buildings has become an inseparable part of the city's history. There's really nothing to see there. The main building is administrative, with a couple of rooms remaining, some of which are rented out for conferences. Those few rooms that remain don't even have any original furnishings, just a few chairs and armchairs (as if that's how it always was). Estates like this should be shown for free, as there's nothing to see there, much less spend your money or time on them. I don't recommend it.
Tickets were reasonably priced - we paid €15 per person. The place wasn't crowded, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. There are also temporary exhibitions on the underground floor and a small, lovely garden outside. Plenty of toilets and relatively clean facilities, which was great. If you're a fan of the Medici TV series, this is a must-visit! My boyfriend was super hyped since he's a big fan.
I had the opportunity to visit the Medici Palace in Florence and it is definitely a place worth seeing. I chose a guided tour and truly recommend it – thanks to that we learned many interesting stories and anecdotes about the Medici family and life in Renaissance Florence. The palace itself is truly impressive – both with its architecture and the richness of its interiors. It hides many fascinating objects, and the atmosphere takes you back to the city’s golden age. An absolute must-see for anyone visiting Florence.
Very much enjoyed this place. Was quiet and really got to savour and experience old Florence, but with all the modern convenience. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful courtyard as you go in Useful locker to leave your bag and enjoy your stay more... (Ufizzi Take note!!) Inner courtyard is lovely too and there is a little garden outside with some wonderful ancient wisteria. Spent an hour there, which is enough but took plenty in. You can stay longer if you want to go into detail but the general vibe is artistic, stately and beautiful.
