Florence Vasari Corridor finally reopening

[Christian]

Closed for renovation works since 2016, the Vasari Corridor will FINALLY reopen to the public on December 21, 2024! We will be in Florence at the end of the week, so when I read the news, I was ecstatic, until I realized that December 21 is the day we LEAVE Florence!

Oh well, it'll have to be next time, then. By the way, tickets are 43€ !!! Strange, since the Uffizi is 16 €. I didn't find combined tickets with either the Uffizi or Palazzo Pitti, so maybe it's a temporary (insane) price for the reopening.

How exciting! We were just in Florence on November 28th…so sad to have missed this by a month.
I thought I read on another forum that the Vasari tickets include entrance to the Uffizi…with a 2 hour visit in the museum before the Vasari entrance time. This would make sense as you cannot get to the entrance of the Vasari corridor without entering the museum.
Maybe someone else here knows for sure?

To be honest, not sure what the attraction is. The photos I'm seeing of the corridor look fairly uninteresting and the Uffizi information makes it very clear that you will be herded along with little chance to stop and admire anything.

Reservation is required: and it will be possible to book the visit from Tuesday 10 December (at 9.00 am). With the combo ticket visitors can enter the Uffizi two hours before the scheduled Vasariano tour, to visit the museum.
