The Uffizi Gallery is one of the world's greatest art museums and a must-do for visitors to Florence. It is also one of the city's busiest attractions, so pre-ordered tickets or passes are HIGHLY recommended during the summer and peak season. Housed largely on the top floor of a 15M A century administrative palace, the collection includes part of the Medici family's acquisitions and commissions. The works are distributed throughout numerous rooms organised by artist, period, and/or place of origin. Visitors can purchase a guide from the bookshop on their arrival to have an idea of where to find the most famous and popular works. Audio guides are also available.
A few good things to know when you visit this place:

- Avoid the Sung Sot cave if you can:

Some people might disagree with me on this one, as the Sung Sot cave is the most popular place to visit on Halong Bay, but for that simple reason I think you should try and go on a trip where you do not go there. If you have visited a few caves around the world, then I will guarantee you that you do not think the Sung Sot cave is the prettiest you have seen and the crowds there can be insane with pushing and screaming and yelling from hundreds of people trying to get the right photo shoot. The view from the top of the cave is fantastic, but you have fantastic views in many other areas of the bay, where you won’t have to fight the same crowds. It can actually be hard sometimes to find a trip that does not take you there, cause all companies seem to think that this has to be part of the tour, but try to avoid it if you can.

- When is the best time of year to visit Halong Bay?

Halong Bay is best visited during spring and fall. During the winter it can be quite cold there at night and during the summer months you have a lot of rain storms in the area and trips are often cancelled or shortened so that you are not allowed to stay overnight on the boats. This is for security reasons after a backpacker boast sank a few years ago and several young backpackers drowned. I think it’s fair that they control the ships during bad weather as it can get pretty extreme in the region and you do not want to be out at sea during a thunder storm at night. So I suggest that you avoid summer months as this is when you have the most cancellations. November and april on the other hand, tend to be the best months to visit, with nice warm weather and not so much rain.

- What company should you use?

Honestly speaking, I have been happy with all the boats I have been on when I have been cruising Halong Bay and I do not like to pick one over the other. I think your main concern should be what tour they make on the bay (like visiting other places than the Sung Sot cave). So if you ask me, then take a look at their itineraries more than at the facilities on the boat.
