The fifteenth gallery of the Uffizi Gallery is the home to the unfinished Adoration of the Magi by Leonardo da Vinci. Though unfinished, this painting is full of new expressive and formal ideas that influenced later artists such as Botticelli and Lippi. The famous statues of Venus and Mars also hang in this gallery. However, the museum's hours vary. To avoid long lines, purchase tickets online or in advance to avoid missing out on the museum's highlights.

The Uffizi Gallery has undergone several renovations, so you may not see everything you'd like. Some sections of the gallery may be closed, and others may be undergoing expansion. It is important to be patient while visiting the Uffizi, because the museum changes a lot and many works may be missing. Fortunately, you can still see the most spectacular works of art in the Uffizi by taking your time and planning a trip in advance.

A private tour of the Uffizi is a great way to enjoy the gallery and to discover everything it has to offer. It will be like having a friendly, knowledgeable guide lead you through the gallery. And you can ask endless questions. You'll soon be feeling like a Renaissance expert. The private tour will take approximately two to three hours, depending on the length. Make sure to leave your umbrella in the cloakroom, which is available free of charge. If you're in Florence during the day, don't forget to try the panoramic views from the Uffizi terrace cafe.

There are also a number of other ways to enjoy the Uffizi Gallery. You can take a virtual tour, where an expert LivTours guide will lead you through the museum in a way that kids will understand. You can even engage your child in a fun drawing activity. And don't worry about a lack of patience; there's always time for a few extra questions.

If you're planning a Florence trip, you should be aware that the Uffizi Gallery wasn't originally built to be a museum. The building was actually designed to serve as the offices for the ruling Medici family, and at one point the Medici family owned the entire town. These Medici family also founded the Medici Bank of Florence, the most important financial institution in the 15th century.

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

  Nice is among the best cities to go to in France and will surely make you glad you decided to spend your vacation there. It lies in the French Riviera region, in Southern France, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by the Mediterranean Sea. Nice is also quite a good place to base yourself during your visit for exploring the rich cultural history of this lovely region. In addition to being an attractive tourist destination, Nice has many attractions for travelers to check out. One of the best things about Nice is the diversity of its culture and climate. Because Nice is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, its weather is often hot and humid, giving Nice the distinction of being the best places to swim during the summer. Other than Nice beaches, there are other great places to enjoy Nice holidays, such as the Picasso Museum, which is well worth a visit, as is the Basilica de Nice. People who enjoy art will find much to appreciate in Nice and the surrounding region

Monaco

Monaco, ruled by Prince Albert II of the Grimaldi dynasty, is one of the few principalities that have survived to this day. The history of this principality is rooted in the depths of centuries, and dates back to the time of the Phoenicians (and this, just think of it, the 10th century BC!). The modern history of Monaco began when the colony of the Genoese Republic was founded in this area in 1215, in then Francesco Grimaldi became a local ruler in 1297 . So, the Grimaldi dynasty has been ruling in Monaco for more than 700 years, from 1297 to our days (of course, given the fact that during this impressive period there were wars and regime changes in Europe, as a result of which Monaco passed under the protectorate of various states).   The most significant personalities that influenced the fate of the principality during the 20th century include Aristotle Onassis, who significantly strengthened the Monaco economy with his investments, and Prince Rainier III, who developed the country’s
