Uffizi Gallery
Last Updated: 7th Jun 2012
The Uffizi Gallery in Florence is unarguably the most outstanding collection of Renascence painting not only in Italy, but anywhere in the world.
Just off the edge of the Piazza Signora in the middle of Florence, the halls of the old government of Tuscany are now filled with beautiful works from greats like Giotto, Simone, Fra Angelico, Filippo Lippi, Botticelli, Correggio, Raphael, Michelangelo and Caravaggio as well as some unfinished works by Leonardo da Vinci. The most famous piece is probably Botticelli’s ‘Birth of Venus’, but this is just one of many in a whole room dedicated to this master.
This is the most popular museum in Florence and there are huge line ups in summer to get in. During summer you may stand in line for up to 3 hours unless you get there very early in the morning.
Tours with one night stops in Florence either spend the morning of the afternoon in the city and it may be best to see your schedule with your Tour Manager before making reservations.

I went on two tours alone...I made life-long friends along the way! That's the nature of Contiki.
Christmas Markets in Vienna are great. Buy some mulled wine (Gluhwein in German)which is served hot and is quite spicy. The mug it comes in is yours to keep - a great souvenir -but if you don't want it return it and get your €2 deposit back (Pfand).
I dont think anyone has ever said they didnt enjoy George's boat! Its by far the best optional on tour! The water is amazing and George is quite the entertainer ;)
