    Hidden faces

    Posted by Dappybird 29 September 2005

    The first face to look for is on the wall to the right of the front entrance of the Palazzo Vecchio, behind the statue of Hercules and Cacus. The face is said to be by Michelangelo. The second face is of Dante, on the road in front of his house in via Dante Alighieri.

    Museum bookings hotline

    Posted by Dappybird 29 September 2005

    Instead of queueing for two hours to get in the Uffizi or one hour for the Accademia or Pitti Palace, call the hotline to book tickets for a three euro surcharge per person. They'll give you a booking number and you pay at the museum's ticket office. Number valid for all state musuems, hence the above plus San Marco, Bargello Archaeological Museum etc.
