The Palazzo Medici is such an amazing architectural achievement. Not too many people, no line. Totally worth visiting. My 11 years old daughter who is learning about the Medici family at school enjoyed this Palazzo immensely!

I'm not sure this is high on the list of attractions, but we liked it. It was pretty quiet when we were there, and seeing the palace is just another fascinating view into the lifestyles that used to be. Worth the visit.

We paid to see the chapel and other rooms and felt it was worth taking the time to do this properly. However if you are short of time, on a budget or just suffering from overexposure to Florentine art and culture, a visit to the tranquil courtyard is well worth the effort.

Palazzo Vecchio is much more impressive, but this place is worth a wander around. It’s a confusing place since the signposting isn’t clear but the rooms on the upper floor are lavishly decorated and have some interesting displays.
