Florence Uffizi Gallery

Our next stop in Florence was the Uffizi Gallery, which houses perhaps the best collection of Italian Renaissance art in the world. Mike had made reservations before we went on the trip which meant we could walk by the long lines waiting to get in to the gallery.

Our pictures include "The Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli, "Doni Tondo" ("The Holy Family") by Michelangelo, "The Annunciation" by Leonardo Da Vinci and "Madonna of the Goldfinch" by Raphael. We also snapped a picture of the Ponte Vecchio bridge over the Arno River.Read more
