The Palazzo Vecchio in the Piazza della Signoria is one of Florence’s most famous buildings. It has been the symbol of this Renaissance capital’s political power for more than seven centuries and still serves as Florence’s City Hall.

The courtyards, official halls, and private apartments feature elaborately decorated ceilings and statues by such luminaries as Donatello and Michelangelo, giving a sense of the wealth of the Medici, Florence’s most powerful family during the height of the Renaissance.

Buy skip-the-line tickets and get access to the museum, the Salone de Cinquecento, and the underground excavations, and climb to the top battlements of the tower for magnificent views over the city.
