Pitti Palace independent guide

About this guide

Who We Are and How This Guide Works

palazzopitti.florence.it is an independent editorial project that helps visitors plan a trip to the Pitti Palace. This page explains who writes it, how it earns money and what it deliberately is not.

Guide updated: August 2026 · Independent visitor guide — not the official Pitti Palace website. Disclaimer: this is an independent, unofficial guide. The Pitti Palace is managed by Le Gallerie degli Uffizi; official information is published at uffizi.it. Booking links on this site go to Headout, an authorised resale platform, and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

What we do

We write practical planning pages about one place: the Pitti Palace in Florence and its Boboli Gardens. Before publishing, we check hours, prices and visitor rules against the official museum site, uffizi.it, and against the Headout booking platform, then revisit pages regularly to keep them current. Each guide shows the date it was last updated. Start with the ticket comparison, the opening hours or the visit-length planner.

We do not sell tickets of our own, and we never handle your payment details or bookings.

How we make money

Plainly: through affiliate links. When you book a ticket or tour through one of our links to Headout, we may receive a commission from Headout. You pay nothing extra — the price is identical to booking directly on their site. These commissions are the site's only revenue: there are no ads, sponsored posts or paid placements. The same disclosure appears in the footer of every page and on the prices page.

What we are not

  • Not the museum. The Pitti Palace is managed by Le Gallerie degli Uffizi; their official site is uffizi.it.
  • Not Gallerie degli Uffizi. We have no affiliation with the state museum body.
  • Not Headout. We link to their platform as an affiliate partner but have no role in bookings, refunds or customer support.

Editorial principles

  • Every perishable fact — a price, an opening hour, a rule — names its source inline (uffizi.it or Headout).
  • Every page displays when it was last updated, so you can judge how fresh the information is.
  • Corrections are welcome: if you spot an error, email info@palazzopitti.florence.it and we will verify and fix it.
  • Photographs come from Wikimedia Commons under their respective licenses, with credits shown beneath each image.
