Visitors to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence 2019-2020
In 2020, museums in Italy had to close to the public for several months, as stay-at-home orders and emergency measures were put in place to face the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. As a result, the number of visitors to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence decreased remarkably over the previous year. In 2019, 1.6 million tourists paid to visit the renowned art gallery, while paid visits dropped to around 456 thousand in 2020. Overall, the Uffizi Gallery recorded over two million visitors in 2019, while it attracted roughly 594 thousand tourists in 2020.
