Highlights on the map

1. Arnolfo Tower: The 95 m tower: 418 steps, no lift, booked slots on its own ticket, not for children under 6, and closed when it rains (the medieval walkway can stay open).
2. Hall of the Five Hundred (Salone dei Cinquecento): The council hall on the first floor, with Vasari's battle scenes on the walls and Michelangelo's Genius of Victory; the Studiolo of Francesco I opens off its south end.
3. Rooms of the Priors: Hall of Lilies and Map Room: On the second floor, west side: Donatello's original Judith and Holofernes in the Hall of Lilies and the 16th-century globe and painted maps of the Wardrobe.
4. Apartments of the Elements: The 16th-century apartments built for Cosimo I on the east side, with Vasari's frescoes of the gods and the Terrace of Juno looking towards Santa Croce.
5. Loggia dei Lanzi: The open-air sculpture gallery on the square, with Cellini's Perseus and Giambologna's Rape of the Sabine Women.
6. Piazza della Signoria: The civic square on two sides of the palace; the copy of Michelangelo's David stands at the main door.
7. Fountain of Neptune: Ammannati's marble fountain at the north-west corner of the palace.
8. Uffizi Gallery: The gallery's two wings start just south of the palace, across Via della Ninna.

Entrances

• E1 · Main entrance: All visitors: in through the main door to the ticket office in the Cortile della Dogana; booking a time slot online is advised, and free tickets need a booked slot too. Piazza della Signoria, main door on the west front.
• E2 · Step-free entrance: Visitors with reduced mobility enter through the large door straight into the Cortile della Dogana, where the ticket office, cloakroom and bookshop are. Via dei Gondi, north side.

The plan stacks the museum route on the outline of the palace. On the ground floor, the main door leads past the Michelozzo courtyard to the Cortile della Dogana, with the ticket office, the cloakroom and the bookshop. The first floor holds the Hall of the Five Hundred, the Studiolo of Francesco I and the Apartments of Leo X; the second floor, the Apartments of the Elements and the Hall of Lilies with the Map Room. The Arnolfo Tower is visited on a separate ticket. Room positions are approximate.
