Uffizi Gallery Location & Directions

Where is the Uffizi Gallery?

The Uffizi Gallery is located in the heart of Florence at Piazzale degli Uffizi 6. This prime location places it near major landmarks such as Piazza della Signoria and the Ponte Vecchio. For those arriving by public transportation, the Firenze Santa Maria Novella train station is a short walk or bus ride away.

Visitors traveling by car may find parking challenging due to the restricted zones in central Florence. It is recommended to use parking facilities outside the city center and either walk or use public transportation to reach the gallery. Walking is often the most convenient option for those already in the central area.

By car

Florence's city center is a restricted traffic area, meaning cars without a permit cannot enter during most of the day. We recommend parking just outside the restricted zone, such as at Parcheggio Park Matteotti or other nearby parking garages. Street parking is also available, with metered spaces indicated by blue lines, reserved for visitors. These typically cost around €1 for 30 minutes, with rates increasing based on duration. Payment can be made via ticket machines, kiosks, or the city’s app.
