Uffizi Gallery, Florence
mi sarei aspettata i vaticani nella classifica europea!
la classifica italiana, Uffizi a parte, mi ha sorpreso non poco. capitolini assenti?
Elisabetta, i Vaticani sono al 4° posto nella classifica mondiale, ma devi anche pensare che non sono italiani, perché sono gestiti e all’interno del territorio dello Stato Vaticano.
I Capitolini sono al posto n. 17 della classifica italiana, mentre nella classifica mondiale non sono neppure tra i primi 100 … in pratica stanno fuori classifica.
Scusa i Vaticanii erano sfuggiti leggendo l’articolo… e infatti mi pareva strano…
comunque i musei di Londra sono gratis a quanto mi risulta…non so se questo possa infleunzare il numero.
Secondo me influisce parecchio. Non a caso negli ultimi due anni sono aumentati gli ingressi nei musei italiani. E’ da due anni infatti che la prima domenica del mese si entra gratuitamente in tutti i musei statali e anche in molti altri che si sono adeguati all’iniziativa.
Uffizi is really amazing! I advice anyone who is going to Florence to go there and see the amazing and breathtaking views it has to offer <3
You’re right Travel Bench. Florence and Tuscany is a wonderful place.
