Plan Your Visit To National Bargello Museum

- Prohibited Items: Eating, drinking, smoking, and the use of flash photography or selfie sticks are not allowed anywhere within the museum.

- Group Sizes: Without a reservation, groups are limited to a maximum of 20 people plus one guide. School groups require mandatory reservations and are capped at 25 students.

- Konnubio: A fantastic spot slightly further out boasting a Michelin Star, where Chef Beatrice Segoni elevates traditional Tuscan ingredients into perfect, contemporary dishes in a beautiful setting.

- Mercato Centrale: For a lively, casual lunch, head to the upper level of the Central Market. It operates like a high-end food court offering a variety of modern Italian options, from incredible pasta to gourmet trapizzino.

Located right at the main entrance (which also serves as the exit route from the Michelangelo Hall), the official bookshop offers an array of items to commemorate your visit.

Here, you can purchase detailed museum guides in multiple languages, in-depth art history publications, and a curated selection of beautiful gifts and replicas inspired by the Bargello's masterpieces.
