Uffizi, physical spacing abolished, return to full capacity and larger groups

The Uffizi is preparing to return to normal: physical spacing has been abolished, it is back to working at full capacity and visits by larger groups are possible. The Florence museum, therefore, is immediately implementing the new anti-Covid rules decided by the government.

The new rules come into effect today: the museum complex goes back to operating at full capacity (up to 900 visitors at the Uffizi, 450 at the Pitti Palace, 3,000 at the Boboli Gardens) and the requirement to maintain at least one meter distance between people while in the spaces of the Galleries falls. Larger groups will be allowed: in fact, the new limit has been raised to 16 people, including guide and companions (during Covid it was 10, at normal regime it is 25). At the Uffizi and Palazzo Pitti over 10 people will still trigger the usual 70 euro surcharge, and groups exceeding 6 (including guides) will still need to use the whisper system (earphones and microphone).

There is not yet full normalcy because all other measures remain unchanged, including green pass control, mandatory body temperature measurement at the entrance, and mandatory mask inside the museum. “The new rules,” says Galleries Director Eike Schmidt, “are a decisive step toward normality. However, the museum remains a safe place, for the peace of mind of visitors, thanks to the measures taken.”
