Art students might need to see the famous chapel fresco but for anything else, this place is a total waste of 7 euros. Gloomy 19th century rooms with little explanation, and a poor courtyard garden which you can't sit in. It's some kind of council offices now, so it has that functional office feel behind the tourist front. Avoid, and... More

The whole of the Palazzo is an enjoyable venture if you are, as I am, taken with the Medici estates. Castles and palazzo's are an attraction for me in the same way a moth is enchanted by a flame. The magic of the architecture and the opportunity to walk through the domiciles and space of the Medici is unique adventure.... More

Once the Medici residence, this palazzo is now open to the public so you can see how they lived. The private chapel inside was painted by Benozzo Gozzoli (the Procession of the Magi). Vibrant colors and dripping in gold. A must see. More

For those who want to see something very special..a little off the beaten track head for Via Cavour and the Palazzo Medici.Riccardi. Don't try and see The Chapel of the Magi without first... More

I had high expectations from this historic building, but was extremely disappointed. It seems now to be much more of a working civic office. Apart from the interesting features of the inner courtyard and the chapel frescoes, I'd not say that much reflected the wealth of the Medicis. Frankly not worth the 7 euro ticket. More

I can agree with other posters that maybe they don't need to be charging what they do to get into the palace. However, I spend my time walking around the outside and the gardens. It was a spectacular view, and the Grotto was really something else to see. I wasn't as interested in walking around the Royal Apartments, and in... More
