Inferno · Place in the book
Vasari Corridor (Ponte Vecchio)
In the story · The first morning, the escape through the corridor
The covered passage the Medici built so they could walk from Palazzo Pitti to Palazzo Vecchio without going into the street. With the gardens blocked by the police, Langdon and Sienna run through it, above the shops of Ponte Vecchio and through the Uffizi. From the bridge you see its row of small windows over the shops. The film shot here too.

The ticket (€47 booked ahead) includes the Uffizi: book your corridor slot at least 45 minutes after your Uffizi entry time, the time it takes to reach the meeting point in room D19, or 2 hours later if you want to see the gallery first.
