- A visit to the Vasari Corridor lasts approximately 35 minutes. Visitors are not permitted to linger for any length of time during the visit.

- Gallerie degli Uffizi staff accompany visitor groups but they are not tour guides.

- Tour guides may provide their groups with explanation and commentary only: after museum staff have finished providing the group with all logistical, safety and security information required for the visit; showing respect for other visitors and using their own whisper devices as much as possible.

- Visitors with reduced mobility may use the courtesy wheelchairs and walkers provided by the Gallerie degli Uffizi (on demand, while stocks last): use of these is free of charge, no reservation or deposit is required; wheelchairs/walkers must be handed back to the Gallery staff accompanying the group at the end of the Vasari Corridor before leaving the premises;

- In the event the lifting platform is out of order, thus preventing visitors with reduced mobiliy or physical disabilities from accessing the Vasari Corridor, the price of the ticket will be refunded.

- Video footage is not permitted while visiting the Corridor.

- Using images of the Vasari Corridor for promotional or advertising purposes is strictly prohibited without express prior authorisation from the Gallerie degli Uffizi Management.

ENTERING AND EXITING THE CORRIDOR

- Your ticket shows the time your tour starts, the position of the meeting point and the name of the visitor authorised to enter the Corridor.

- Tickets are inspected before the tour begins. You will be required to show valid ID (with a photograph) to ensure that your name matches the name on the ticket.

- You must show up at the Meeting Point at least 10 minutes before your time slot. Failure to do so will entail the loss of your right to enter the Corridor. Groups are made up of a set number of visitors, so you will be unable to join your group once it has already set out on its tour.

We would remind visitors that damaging or soiling cultural assets in any way is considered a criminal offence. Offenders will be prosecuted under Article 518 duodecies in the Italian Penal Code.
