The Vasari Corridor (Corridoio Vasariano) was built as a secret passage for Florence’s elite to pass unnoticed, away from ordinary citizens. But for the first time in history, it has opened to the general public.
Less of a corridor than a private pedestrian path through the center of Florence, this 750-meter-long space was designed for the ruling Medici dynasty in 1565 by artist and architect Giorgio Vasari, CNN reports.
The path, built in just five months for Cosimo I de’ Medici, connects three of Florence’s most famous sites: the Palazzo Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery, and the Palazzo Pitti where the aforesaid family lived. The path allowed them to move between their home and office without being disturbed by the general public, or attacked by enemies.
Today, it offers a “secret” passage through some of Florence’s most famous neighborhoods, with stunning views—but without the crowds. When crowds of people form a gridlock along the Ponte Vecchio, Florence’s famous medieval bridge lined with shops, those in the corridor will blissfully skirt around them, enjoying the same views of the city without the chaos.
The corridor’s views are made possible by its elevated position, as it runs along the rooftops of buildings, palazzos, towers, and even along the top of the Ponte Vecchio.
The main section of this corridor, running from the Uffizi to the Boboli Gardens outside the Palazzo Pitti, opened to the public late last week. For the first time in history, ordinary people have been able to enter it. For centuries, it was the private corridor of the Grand Dukes of Tuscany—not even their staff could walk along it. In recent decades, it was open to those willing to pay a hefty fee for exclusive access, but it was closed in 2025 for health and safety reasons. Now, however, those who buy a €20 ticket will be escorted in groups of 25.
