Our day started with a visit to the Uffizi Gallery for a guided tour. There were many, many people, so it was challenging to take decent photos, but the beautiful sculptures and paintings, especially the famous ones, were definitely worth seeing in person. After the tour, since our afternoon was free, I chose to stay at the Uffizi and spent additional time touring the portrait galleries and (of course) shopping at the gift shop.
