Loggia dei Lanzi
Piazza della Signoria, 50122 Florence, Tuscany, Italy
Loggia dei Lanzi is a distinct Florence attraction rather than just a corner of the square. The official city tourism site places it in Piazza della Signoria and describes it as the monumental loggia beside the Uffizi, while the Uffizi Galleries confirm that it is still part of the Uffizi. That dual identity matters for visitors: it is both an urban monument in the civic heart of Florence and an open-air sculpture setting tied to one of the city’s main museum institutions. Its position beside Palazzo Vecchio makes it especially strong for travellers interested in the overlap between art, ceremony and political history. Tenth place is appropriate because the stop is compact, but it adds real substance to a walking itinerary through central Florence. A key practical point has changed: the Uffizi state that from 23 January 2026 entry to the Loggia requires a free ticket obtained on site. That means it should no longer be treated simply as unrestricted pass-through space, even though the sculptures remain visible under the arches and the site functions as an outdoor museum environment. The official city tourism page also notes partial accessibility. It pairs particularly well with nearby visits to Palazzo Vecchio or the Uffizi.
