On par with the Louvre, the Metropolitan, and the Vatican, the Uffizi Gallery contains the world's finest works of Renaissance art. Originally the 16th-century offices of the Medici dynasty, these 50-plus rooms now house the family's private collection of more than 1,500 masterpieces. You'll never get to all of them, but the museum is easily worth several hours.
