About Palazzo Vecchio
The Palazzo Vecchio, also known as Palazzo della Signoria, is open daily except for Christmas Day. You can visit it Monday through Wednesday and Friday through Sunday from 09:00 AM to 07:00 PM. On Thursday, the museum closes earlier, at 02:00 PM.
- Admire gorgeous interiors
The Palazzo Vecchio was built more than seven centuries ago to become the main symbol of the civic power of Florence. You can explore the large impressive halls, institutional chambers, and private rooms of the Medici court. All of them are richly decorated by Giorgio Vasari and other famous artists.
- Marvel at stunning artworks
The palace is filled with art pieces, including statues, monumental paintings, and frescoes. Admire a marvelous chapel completely painted by Agnolo Bronzino, and marvel at one of the last works by the Renaissance sculptor Donatello — a bronze statue of Judith assassinating the Assyrian general Holofernes.
- Enjoy fantastic city views
Take advantage of the opportunity to climb the Arnolfo Tower, which offers excellent panoramic views of the city. The tower is about 95 meters tall, and you can have one of the best views of the historic center.

Being one of Florence’s iconic landmarks, the museum is almost always crowded with tourists but tends to be less busy during the early opening hours.
It is also good to know that one of the most exciting parts of the building — the Arnolfo Tower — can be closed because of rainy weather. Plan your visit for a sunny day to climb the tower and enjoy spectacular views of the city.
