mickeysgal Posted June 17, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Help! Getting ready to reserve our Uffizi tickets. We are arriving into Florence via train from Venice at 11:00 am. We have to store our luggage at the train station and get to the Uffizi gallery. What do you think is a good time for our reservation without cutting it short?. Not sure how much time to all to take care of the luggage and walk (?) to the gallery. Edited June 17, 2015 by mickeysgal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyCruises Posted June 17, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'd allow a bare minimum of an hour; there could be long lines to store luggage (or not) and my guess is that it's about a twenty minute walk to the Uffizi. OTOH you may want to stop for a bite before entering the museum. . .hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does; I'm thinking the same thing...a quick bite...then the museum...then a dinner before heading back on the train to Rome for our flight. I have to account for time in line to get to the reserved museum tickets too. So given all that...12:30 maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Rosebery Posted June 28, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Our experience at the Uffizi was not pleasant. You must reserve. Even so there will be long lines and massive crowds. Be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidergirl Posted June 28, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'll agree with the 20 minutes to walk to the Uffizi; I walked in about 15 minutes or so from the station to my hotel, the Westin Excelsior. It was about a 5 minute walk from there to the Gallery. For a dinner, try to make a reservation for the early seating (it's either 7 or 7:30) at Sostanza. A rustic restaurant that has been around for quite some time. They make an amazing entree, the butter chicken. Oh My! The restaurant is very near the Westin, so it's not far from the Uffizi.
