The collections of German, Dutch and Flemish painting including Dürer, Rembrandt, Rubens are similarly important.

Next, we will proceed to the visit of the Vasari Corridor, an elevated walkway of more than one kilometer. The Vasari Corridor links the Palazzo Vecchio to the Palazzo Pitti via the Uffizi Gallery. It was constructed by Giorgio Vasari (the Uffizi architect) upon the wish of Grand Duke Cosimo I in 1565 for the wedding of his son Francesco with Giovanna of Austria. This extraordinary aerial way was built to allow the grand dukes to move safely from their private residence to the government palace. It now contains an important collection of portraits and paintings of the 17th and 18th centuries.
